(You know I'm joking, right??)

Don't mind me. I'm slow on the uptake for a lot today. I got so many hard hugs last night from troops heading over that I'm sore and not thinking well.

[StarCMC]

Don't mind you?? Lady, I'd hug you too!! You are AWESOME!!

[StarCMC]

Those recruiters should be eating their pizzas by now. I hope they're enjoying them!!! :o) MAN I love doing stuff like that!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

[freema]

Yep, I like to hear that.

Bless you for doing it. You have made their day!

The Mudville Gazette has posted Email Thanks to our Troops. Enough to make anyone smile! We need to keep a group of links up that list good wishes to our troops. Email permalink Mudville Thanks

[StarCMC]

After what they do for me, a couple of pizzas are nothing.

[StarCMC]

Anytime you see a thread about troop support, put "troopsupport" in as a keyword. I have a link on my profile page to all threads with that keyword!!

[armymarinemom]

Will do

If this was an honest exchange by someone who is really in the military, then I did call BS on the wrong target.

Something in the initial exchange alerted my senses to think otherwise.

Sorry to all concerned if my suspicions were not warranted. We have enough hostiles out there without turning on each other.

Old Sarge is in the ARNG, serving since last January in OIF, deployed to Iraq since June. You did. Next time, check profile pages before going off, ok?? Thanks!!

[silverleaf]

And the veracity of profile pages is assured by...?

As an observer of military.com forums and a victim of too many imposters on other forums, I have smelled many a phony profile page. That is why I generally don't bother.

But thanks for the advice.

[StarCMC]

Get a grip. I would think "Military Freeper of the Year 2004" might have been a clue. Sorry - I just can't give you a pass on this.

[StarCMC]

Well ya'll, I just have to share. Ok -- I need to gush!

I just got off the phone with one of the nice guys at the Duluth recruiter's office. He called to tell me thanks!! Imagine that!?!! I am in a VERY bubbly mood right at the moment! He he he!!

But, there's more... This site has a poll -- whether or not you think that bonehead should take his sign down. If ya have a minute, it deserves a little bump in the right direction. Thanks!!

National Guardsmen like me and my kids are accustomed to that treatment by many veterans on this forum.

I can't recall ever seeing any veteran mistreat a Guardsman around here. Oh, I'm sure it exists here and there, although I bet a lot of it is the good-natured interservice rivalries and the like. But you're not accurately portraying this forum, not in my view anyway.

I live in a medium sized state that has lost 900 people to car accidents this year. We need an exit stategery here. Talk about dying in vain.

[StarCMC]

I've seen it. BUT I know plenty of vets who stick together. I prefer to think that most do, but occasionally you get one who's a little overboard. As a sillyvillian though, I respect them ALL!! They have all done so much for me.

[Howlin]

The Recruiting office needs to put up it's own sign with a running tally of how many people in the same age group are dying here at home from auto accidents,drive by shootings etc.

Or how about a sign of how many American citizens have been protected for one more day against terrorism?

Freeped from here. Democrates have the distinction of being the party of poor taste, poor patriotism, and white flags.
