I figured that with the amount of Prior Service members we have, I'd start a thread. Feel free to talk anything military, reminisce, etc.. do start out, though, with your military experience. - - - Updated - - - US Army 1986-1994 19K20/19E20 E5-SGT Last Duty Unit/Station: 2nd Bn 69th AR Div, 197th Inf.

The wife and I been wanting to take a road trip and I was wondering what Wyoming is like and when should a Texan get the h--- out of there before it starts snowing

Just curious who on here dabbles in the stock markets and what companies you aquired or are watching

Was at a stoplight the other day and an armored truck pulls up along side. A longer than usual red light, I notice a guard sitting in back of the truck next to side window. We exchanged a few glances so I rub two fingers together, giving the sign for big money. We smiled. Then he waits for the green light and just before taking off, gives another big smile and shows me this 3 foot long double stacked clear plastic bag full of new bills. I smile back in a state of shock:lol:. Couldn't believe what I just saw.....Wouldn't that be a nice truck?

Well I'm pushing even harder now. I managed to fire up Guild Wars which is a Windows game on Ubuntu Linux using WINE. So far so good... Here is some information on what I'm playing with... WINE http://www.winehq.org/ Ubuntu Linux http://www.ubuntu.com/ And the MMORPG game I'm firing up. http://www.guildwars.com/ I'm going to benchtest this and see if Linux is more stable than Windows Vista which seem to have hang issues and network dropping issues.

Not that I'm really surprised.. I think I say everything in the vid that needs to be said. But yeah, that penny rule where if it doesnt cover lincolns head, change it, is probably a good rule of thumb. It isn't the funnest thing having the front passenger side tire blow going that fast and then try and keep it going straight. Something else mighta been going on because it vibrated for a couple miles verrrry slightly before it blew, like a belt let go in the tire. I got a LOT of miles out of them, but obviously tread life isn't the only factor. Age seems to be another. Lesson learned. BUT, in hindsight, I would carry a better jack if you don't have an hour to work…

As many of you know I build chick-fil-a restarunts for a living. The president of CFA was interviewed the other day and was asked what his opinion on marriage was. I cant quote him, but he stated that he beleieved in marriage in the biblical sense, one man and one woman, his opinion. The *** and lesbian and whatever have picked up on this and have branded cfa as an anit *** company. We had a local news channel by yesterday trying to interview folks just of site and in my opinion just try to stir some controversy up. This morning 2 people showed up with signs stating that cfa was an anti *** company and they stood on the corner for about 3 hours. I guess they got discourag…

This time of year around here, it's hard to scrounge firewood because the tree services are going 24/7 it seems. Most of those services either.......1, stack the wood for the home owner after job 2, take it with them to cut/split/sell themselves 3, take all the wood chipper/shread/grind into mulch no matter the size!!!!Long story short, the neighbor down my street had another tree come down in his yard. Just missed his vehicle also!!!! Anyhow; I hadn't driven that direction for several days, but noticed yeesterday morning, that a tree did come down in their yard. On my way home from work I saw the home owners + some friends of theirs attempting to tackle this tree. …

This email accurately, gently but perfectly, explains the difference in thinking between people with opposite outlooks. A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, she was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words; redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfi…

My wife was hysterical as she shrieked that I get out of the house at this instant.As I was walking out the door, she yells at me antagonistically, "I hope you die a slow and painful death!"I replied in a questioning manner, "So now you want me to stay?":evilgrin:

If you're anything like me, you ain't scared to eat. And meat is a large importance in that. I've made my own jerky for years. Last year, I started smoking meat and it's become my hobby and greater enjoyments in life.. I don't have a high dollar smoker, but it serve the purpose (for now.) This is my 3rd one. First one was 2 clay pots, a hot plate, and a Weber grill grate. Works quite well, but hot plates are getting weaker and more scarce. My current go-to smoker is a Char-Griller with woodbox attachment. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=558550&stc=1&d=1289415338 It's not the best, but is a great 'both-worlds' grill setup.…
