THE THREAD!!!

Leaving work at lunch today for a long weekend in Jacksonville, Fl. A good friend who I was enlisted with finished his degree and was commissioned the same year I got out, in 1997. From an ensign back then, he has recently been promoted to Commander and will soon take command of his own P-3 squadron. Not bad for an old avionics technician. [:D]

Anyway, his wife is throwing a big party to celebrate his recent promotion and 4 of us who worked with him when he was still enlisted are going to show up and surprise him. Things may get a little out of hand. [8D]

Anyway, have a great weekend, Brothers! [8D]

From a TRON to crew. Obviously he saw the light. [:D] Always happy to hear another Mustang success story.[:)] Have a good time. (I do envy you....I seriously miss JAX!). [:D]

Good morning. Not a good start to the weekend. 28F. right now, possible one to three inches of snow. And I also lost my voice. Just going to hang around the house all weekend and watch hockey.

Great news, Mike.

On that note, more and more of the people I was in ROTC with in College are either retiring as full birds or getting even bigger jobs in the Army. I remember back in those days thinking those officers were sooo old. Now, I am that age and really don't mentally feel much different than then... Go figure.

Gah ... had forgotten what an hellish amout of work there is to do as the allied player on turn one.

It's like laying a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle with the pieces upside down [:'(]

Nice! I've finished my other turns and my other major project so this gives me something to do tonight after I've stopped playing toy cars with Josh [:D]

Oooh, envy you. Promotion parties are a license to get severely d & d; mustang Commander is a biggie.

Went to High School at the Bolles School, right across the river from Towers (JNAS). Every day the windows would rattle from take-offs. Lovely place. Ponte Vedra Beach !!! Your friend is in paradise.

Stay safe. Don’t get caught. Tell your friend that even Army pukes wish him well.[;)]

Ciao. John

Aaargh! Game crashed when I was saving a PBEM turn and buggered up the save file [:(] Now I have to do the whole thing over again. [:@] Sorry Per, this could take a while...

I feel your pain - been there, done that [:(]

No problems on the delay though - I'm hosting a party tomorrow and have quite enough preparatory work to do anyway [:)]

How does Sunday sound for the turn?

[Grollub]

Sounds fine. I just hope you won't add too much to the hangover I suspect I'll have [:D]

[Grollub]

Ok ...

[Grollub]

I guess this another of those "a mans' gotta do" moments ...

[Grollub]

Can't let the children have all the INPs after all.

[Grollub]

Make us oldtimers look old and stale, so ...
