Back from National Guard Duty (Read 4491 times)

	Well folks, I'm back after 21 days of "fun" on "lovely" Ft. Pickett. As there's nothing I enjoy more than being in an information vacuum for three weeks. Capped off by sleeping in an un-air conditioned building win 100+ weather, or wondering around for hours on end a swamp, or wading through armpit deep brown water for several hours. Once I've gotten the opportunity to see what's been going on (as I haven seen a TV or newspaper, heard a radio, or been on the internet for three weeks), I'll start posting again.

	Good to see you back. I missed the post that said you were going to be away, and I was worried. Glad you are back!

	No worries, I'm still digging through all of the various message boards, emails, etc. And I see a lot of silliness has taken place in my absence. Once I sort through what's happened, I'll be updating several threads, and getting my game back online.

	Welcome back, Dominique! As you read you'll find that some were wading through swampy water up to their armpits here as well (but of a different sort).

But, I have seen it used in some cases, including my last deployment to Iraq, where one young PFC took issue with the way his squad leader was speaking with him. The young PFC decided to take swing at his squad leader, and quickly learned the error of is ways. In addition to earning a trip to the hospital, he got the added bonus of a lovely set of wrist jewelry, and some quality time in correctional custody.
