Well, bringing up my military career in the midst of this thread is like bragging about playing Double A minor league ball in a room full of major leaguers, but what the heck.

Don't feel bad about your service career, HFO. I was in the Air Force from 1969-1973 in Base Supply/Equipment Management. A lot of guys posting here were regular service in the combat arms. But we all made a contribution to our great nation.

I wanted to be a Marine but tore my back up and had to settle for being a Suppo - my favorite job was in a SeaBee battalion where I got to play marine for a few years!!

Damned straight that! I remember when we were stuck in the desert in Sudan flying Rivet Joint against Kadhafi back in his reckless days. Miserable tents in 100 deg heat with blowing sand everywhere. The supply guys in Greece, and their detachment in Kartohm managing to spirit in several boxes of Porterhouses and several cases of beer! You talk about 4 star heros! We made damn sure we saved some meat and beer for the supply detachment! Heros ALWAYS for me...

Hey Master Chief,

I see you are also spending time on the forum. I guess that's why you are getting lazy in sending the UV turns [;)]

I have the feeling that next PBEM game we play won't be UV anymore [:D]
