Haven’t read through this whole thread yet, but I did have to comment on your “aviation” remark. I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you for a fact if you were in Iraq in 06-07 in a Blackhawk, you got shot at every damn day. Multiple helicopters shot down, and 6 dead by the end of the tour. We were getting the shite kicked out of us until the “surge” happened. Still no reason to act like a raging a-hole. This guy has other issues.

I can’t even begin to fathom how that must feel. I am very sorry for your loss.

lol, yes it was pretty wild! Worked hard, played hard! A bunch of crazy dudes on the teams.

Were you with the Knights? I was with them 1998-2000.

You can add John McCain to that list. He was all about him.

You would be incorrect my friend. I mostly live at the beach and my daughter said the the heat index was like 106 today. I checked my phone, and it’s a cool 70 degrees inside. This is a geo-thermal unit which may play by different rules.

I was at Auburn as well. Poor as a poor church mouse. My father decided that the best way to make our way was to pay for it. I kind of get his reasoning now, but I will tell you I did not do that with my children. I was completely cut off financially. It sucked, but I was also tremendously motivated to succeed. It worked, but I didn’t want my children to have go through the crap I did. All of my kids are doing great, without all of the suffering.

I had an amazing run. I had tours of duty in Germany, Italy, then Hungary. Lived like a king in Hungary. But it sucked my children did not who their grandparents or cousin were. . Growing up, my cousins were some of my best friends. Still are today. No regrets pulling it back, coming home. It was time.My wife wanted to stay in Italy forever. It just wasn’t practical at that time.

Are you completely stupid?
