You probably meant someone who isn't in...for example, the US Marine Corps Hall of Fame, correct, Unicorn Hunter?

Well, he made it official. he wants to go to Mars and set up a base on the moon. this would come at the expense of the Space Shuttle Program and the ISS Program in the US being aborted.

I prefered DS9...I always liked the idea, and it seamed more realistic.

Anyone have someone you enjoy posting back and forth with? Jimmy Phaserslice is pretty cool to shoot the breeze with...but he and I have known each other forever...

Either the destruction of the USS Defiant in DS9, or also in DS9 was the flashback to Wolf 359, when we saw the Saratoga destroyed.

Any soldier who is there just to earn a medal often earns something he or she doesn't want. A pine box. A soldier's medals tell a story of who they are, where they have been, and what they have done. for example, in a unit I was in a few years ago, we had a Colonel who had the Southeast and Southwest Asia service medals, Kuwaiti Liberation Medal, and a few others. you can tell by looking at him that he'd been alot of places. most soldiers don't TRY to earn Medals, they earn them because of who they are. Anyone who is in the Military, or is a police officer, or a firefighter, or a teacher, or a parent, is not in this for the personal gain. if they are, they probably need to find something new.

I can deal with long, sleepless nights. and I know of some people who'd be willing to babysit...My sister would, but I live 2,000 miles from her, and she's got her own kidlings to worry about.

I don't know about other countries, but the US has switched to Kevlar helmets that don't stop a rifle or Machine gun round very well.

thanks. I found out about a week ago, and my wife finally said the doctor confirmed it, so....yeah, I'm really excited. the projected Birthday is in August, the Doctor says she's about a month and a half along.

No, you're not misreading, My wife and I are expecting our first child. this is huge for me, because...well, for the obviouse reason, I'm going to be a father. if you asked me a year ago if I would ever have children, I'd have to say I didn't think so.

you're going to be a medic? a Noble idea, I must admit, but pray like heck the folks in your unit like you, because most of the enemies both America and England face wouldn't think twice about using that cross on your helmet as a good landing zone for a bullet. and those helmets, for all their great abilities at stopping pistol and SMG rounds, don't work worth a damn against a rifle.

Hopefully not, ARMS. I saw more than I bargained for, but I knew the risks going in. and let me tell you a thing or two about the difference between Iraq and Veitnam. in Iraq, we ARE winning, and we WILL win. in Vietnam, we fought so as to not lose. this war HAS a point, and an objective, and that objective is being met. if you have a problem with the way the military handles things, then perhaps you should reconsider joining, because remember, even the rear-echelon folks ocassionally get shot at. there is no "Safe" job in the Military.

Excuse me, Arms, but be glad you haven't seen anyone in category 6 do their jobs, Period. as said in my into post, I am a purple heart winner, that means I was wounded in action. wounded for your right to say what you feel. and I know of many folks in all those categories that do their job right. Oh, and I forgot to mention: I was at the Pentagon on the morning of 9.11.01, you want to see those folks doing their jobs right, look at the news archives.
