Fairly insightful book^H^H^H^Hpost! I agree; the thing that twerks me off the most about this is the AT round vs. Blackhawk. I also am vastly annoyed by the lack of shoulder-launched SAMs. Never mind that the Phalanx (sp) on the back of the carrier is designed to defend (after the AEGIS cruisers take their share) against a veritable cloud of ASMs. Er. I digress.
Anyways, I'm about to enlist in the USMC Reserve. I was kinda wonderin' if I could ask you a few questions about life and such in Iraq, since, as part of 4th Force Recon (abeit as a 0621 radio operator), that's undoubtedly where I'll get sent...
I -did- forget to ask which service you were in, too. Hm.
...mod this poor fool up. It'd be neat to have WW read/respond to this as well. I will gladly admit to being in his short-attention-span company. In fact, my lack of focus has..uh...uh...ooh, battlefield 2!
They don't come to your house, fingerprint you, take pictures of you, or do plaster molds of your DOG when you register. Make a separate Hotmail, or hell, even a free AOL e-mail account for to redirect the mindless drivel. But I am sick and tired about people bitching about how the NYT (and other similar folk) are invading their privacy when they won't take 15 seconds to figure out how to ROUTE AROUND IT.

Sorry. None of that was really directed towards you. It's just been an itch that's been building for a year or so. I'm done now.
1) Does it Prase Linux: NO:( 2) Does it Bash Microsoft: YES:| 3) Does it talk about Firefox: YES:) 4) Is it duplicating something from today: NO:D
From what I see, it passed three of the four tests, so it's gold....Math is hard. I know. But it looks like it only passed TWO of the tests. No dupe!:D
This is true, but the ICOM 738 can pick up that frequency. Also, depending on the sporadic-E conditions that evening, I may well actually be able to hear it.
This map:: http://home.cogeco.ca/~dxinfo/tropo.html:: helps...actually, on second read, we'll be in the middle of a hurricane/tropical storm. I'll be lucky if I'm dry; in fact, I'll probably be out in it.
plus, it's FM, which doesn't transmit well over long distances. On the THIRD bad-situation hand, it really SUCKS because the TS/Hurricane makes propagation conditions SUCK.
Amateur radio IS cool, though:D If you wanna actually seriously hear about why it is, just comment back, I suppose.

I dare say he might even be interesting and funny, too.
You're still (-1, Flamebait) fodder.
You forgot a few for this article:

Correction to last post; 3rd Force Recon, 4th Marine Division.
Howdy!

The shooting range is single-player mode :)
Intimidating cops == bad.

But I got a good laugh out of the story anyways

Good luck to you as well, from Fort Walton Beach [actually I'm in Destin at work as I type this, but I digress.]
I'm staying through the storm and working at the Shalimar EOC as a radio operator.

Tell the Israeli Defence Forces. They have no problems holding off annoyed, violent people with these.
No selective service?
Have fun without college scholarships.
Okay. Here's a trick that I figured out.

Odds are sleep in, depending on how far that is.
"Just like a rubber band that's streached too far..."
Or... "Like butter... scraped over too much bread..."
I KNEW IT!! He's got the Ring!!! He wants it for himself!!
Well, -you-, anyway. I'll probably just run down to the clubhouse and listen there on the Icom 738. Amateur radio kicks ass. =)

Even for such a small projectile, that's an impressive impulse.
Yeah, well, you should see my girlfriend at the mall. Now THAT'S impulse. *rimshot*
Thanks, I'll be here 'till Sunday.
Oh no!! I've fallen victim to not-reading-the-parent!! :( ::shoots himself::
Right.
...I'll be at the geek table. 'scuse me.
TIEs definitely don't have shields.
Every student is assigned a six (new kids get 7 digits now) digit number.
:D
So do older kids get beat up for their low UIDs?
