Entered Service At 19 in 1970 do the math!
The liberals won't try it, but the neo-NEO-Conservatives will run down it like its an open bar at a Jewish wedding.;-)
Most won't make it...but those who do will have been mugged by reality!
There are small minorities of conservatives even as far north as Vermont (I have friends there). Their trails run into the Appalachian.
I’m actually not a Seahawk fan. The name helps hide my true identity.
You are absolutely right. The greatest compliment a civilian or fellow soldier can pay an (Army) NCO is "Sergeant," a term of recognition and respect, even appreciation.
A non-commissioned Warrant Officer is called "Sir" (direct address) or "Mister" (indirect address).
Fry squirrel, of any variety. If you can’t, be blessed ya got one, an ain’t eatin’ your horse, hitchin’s, boots or Glory. Mean scrappin’s make good story about a long life, with no gravy, at times.
Make that 40 miles west of Manhattan. Just did a mileage check.
I Appreciate the respect shown to an old Vet on this thread!
I will respect your rejection as well and regress to another!
All is asked that better voices and actions will be shown to those that served their country! Thanks for the insightful thread on the Z trial and hopefully the young man will rise above the persecution of the State of Florida!
Thanks for the reply. Do you know if the “step mother” is the same woman formerly known as the “father’s fiancee,” whose home Treyvon was visiting when he was killed? Or is the “step mother” someone who’d been married to or involved with Mr.Martin when Treyvon was younger, but no longer his wife/girlfriend?
If the “step mother” and “father’s fiance” are the same woman who says she raised him since he was 4, why was he visiting her during his suspension from a Miami area school? It’s not as if Miami and Sanford are within commuting distance. Which adult(s) live(s) in Miami?
I don’t know if you know the answers to the relationship(s) questions. It all gets kinda confusing.
I did not say I retired!
Not sure what you are asking...please clarify.
I don’t ask anything from this group the colors have been shown! There is no need to clarify anything!
Words of Hendrix! See ya in the next world don’t be late!
I ask you to clarify...do you refuse?
Retired did not mean from Military just retired I apologize for not being more explicit!
Only where 'tis folly to be wise, my friend. Apparently your correction is not going to be humbly accepted, which would speak to having honorably served.
"To each his suff'rings: all are men,
Condemn'd alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain;
Th' unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise."
(Thomas Gray, "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College")
READ the text no clarification is needed!
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
