You Cowboltz fans have a way with slapping the crap out of someone while you smile at them. We'll see how you do this season. The Avatar is representative of the grimace I have because we haven't won the SB. But you wouldn't Know anything about that.

I wondered about that....I thought it was constipation. :

I can appreciate your job -- good field! I worked the 490th; I was an FSC at the missle site for a while. Pursue those college courses and you'll walk right into a job when you get out.

Ahhh, I loved going out to the missile sites. One time, me, an LT, and two full birds got jacked up at one of the sites. Good times.

I do miss Montana and Great Falls, though. Some of the nicest people in the world live in Montana.

Phoenix, I'm retired Marine Corps and Navy and a veteran of the first Gulf War. While it seems that some of the flaming that goes on regarding our respective teams can be a little silly at times, the rivalry is what makes being a fan so enjoyable. If we all liked the same team....can you imagine the boredom?
I agree with you that veterans bring a different and unique perspective not only to sports, but to most topics. We just look at things differently than most others.
While I still STRONGLY dislike the Iggles and those who come here looking to battle it out, I don't take any of it personally (or too seriously). There are many more important things in life to spend energy on (except from September to January, during FA, and during the draft

).

Retired Navy here Vet of the first Gulf War VFA-151 USS Midway. Broke My back in 1992 got Medically Retired in 1996.

Fans Make the game's doesn't matter if you root for Eagles or Skins if you are as passionate as I am about the Boys then it doesn't matter what anyone says even in the 1-15 years..... :iggles:

But I don't think you'll ever get your Smiley bashing a cowboys helment on this site....LOL Atleast you better not

Experienced living on the Crow Indian reservation for a few weeks. Learned to place a horse into full gallop; and bring calm him down (it's a process); learned to hunt, and skin elk and dear meat (salt purafication).

Friendliest people and largest steaks! I enjoyed it there both times. Chased a wolf for miles in a helicopter -- those wolves can run for days!

Would that forum include wives/ widows of active service and veterans? I put in my 15 yrs as the wife of a Navy man... my late husband was a disabled Vietnam vet. Us widows get handed info that would be helpfull to other wives, widows, widowers, servicemen and retired hero's...

BTW - anyone that have ever worn a uniform with pride and honor is a hero in my book... so, don't take the retired hero as just those recognized as such officially.. I'm talking about all the servicemen

Yes maam --100% equal!

Perhaps you've seen these classical war movies where the OD Green car pulls up to a House with military people dressed in their uniform? Well, my job was to contact the next of kin of servicemen and women who either died or was killed on active duty. Not an easy job; especially during Nam. There was a total of (1) one person on any Air Force Base that did my job. One of the things that was stressed to us was that the spouse of a Military person was to be assisted for the rest of their lives (meaning all privileges, and benefits that were the military person, wil always be available to their surviving spouse).

Even if you are a Cowboz fan

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

You could create a forum for this purpose that you run and we could post a link to it. I'll put this idea in my notes as something to consider as we continue with our upgrades.

Hos,

Thanks for moving the forum temporarily to the "Off-Topic Zone." The rules of this zone states ..."this zone is for the odd and weirdo stuff ...

Believe military veterans/and other such related dialogue is more important than odd or weird stuff. Think there's some good discussion waiting.

Instead, would it be possible to have the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) placed under ...

OTHER FORUMS (alphabetized)

Advertising Zone
De-Militarized Zone (DMZ)
Gaming Zone
Political Zone
Testing Zone

Not trying to be ungrateful, appreciate your favorable consideration.

PT

Wish that had applied to my children and I.

My Late father in-law passed away just b4 my wife and I were to be married (days) I convinced my mother in-law to contact the VA when he was diagnosed with cancer since he had used agent orenge in VN. the VA determined his cancer was dircetly related to his exposure therefore she and my brother in law (18) at the time received benefits. He got VOC Rehab (paid for his college the whole 10 yards plus a living allowance) and she receives a pension based on his service which she still receives. He passed away in May of 98. I don't know if you have checked benefits in a while but it may be worth while if you did. Just a thought.

Recommend you contact the Veterans Administration Office; Ideal if you could go in person, but if you call, always get a name and a second opinion. Don't let someone give you ingformation that could ultimatley be incorrect and jeopardize benefits that you may be entitled to receive.

Check inot Serviceman's Group Life Insurance/Veterans Group Life insurance or National Service Life Insurance; unpaid pay and allowances, also Death Gratuity Pay with the VA.

Just in case ...even if you're Not an Eagles fan

Spent time guarding the President in Rhein Mein AB, GE. Played football for RAF Mildenhall, UK -- Championship game (All-USAFE; or all United States Air Force in Europe) played the best team in Germany (Army teams). Looked forward to the barbeques, and dance after the game (win/lose)

I miss Mildenhall, aka Moldyhole and the "bird in hand"

and the infamous galaxy club

I like Rhein and Spang but I liked Geilenkirchen the most. NAEWF is a great assignment

I was in the Air Force. Appreciate your comments, but we merely stand on the shoulders of American warriors who came before us. We take the battle there and keep it away from our shore lines the best we can.

Actually Air Force = smart.

In the Army and Marines, the officer dresses you up and sends you off to war.

In the Air Force the you dress the officer up and send him off to war.

You can guess from the above statement which branch of service I grew up in (Didn't serve, back then ** was closing bases left and right and was kicking everyone out so I accepted my calling into the civilian world)....

I wouldn't consider those holes they call bunks a bed but I can't argue against the rest of it.

I would have gone Air Force if I could have found a job in the medical field I liked.
