  2. Hey Andrea, Come on over to Kuwait. Nothing but beach volleyball for miles n' miles Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  3. Nothing like seeing a perpetrator being bodily passed down the plane to the door with the parting words," 8000 feet, you have a chute, don't come back till it's gone!" Well, at least that's what we told him we'd do.... Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  4. Left off- When in doubt, a tactical nuke answers all questions. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range

  10. Well, I've offered 'special' favors for gear. So far I've had a return offer for a USPA bumper sticker, does that count? Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  11. The master would roll in his grave, but I just couldn't help myself. Time to leave the office and join my .com buddies in a glass of wine!
  12. Oh, by far one of my more flattering photo's! Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  13. The USASOC demo team has three full-time members: SFC Johnny Mulford, the former Golden Knights Gold Demonstration Team Leader; and two riggers. Every other member of the team is an active duty soldier from within the command. This is the team that I was on. Anyway, being voluntary, "the government" didn't have anything to do with it. The call to "go" came from the designated jumpmaster, Stu Goodall. Chuck Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  14. Yes, everyone that jumped has a PRO rating. Word straight from the horses mouth is that winds were within limits and the canopy flight was smooth down to the ground for the first guys, then a 40mph gust came through and picked everyone not already down and sent them flying backwards into the infield. More later Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  15. Yeah, if y'all can. Be cool to see how many of us we can get on a jump. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  16. Doesn't go over in Church very well.... Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  17. That's not stating an opinion. That's taking part in the Homeland Defense Readiness Training. Think I'll upgrade to a Napoleon III to improve my homeland defense Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  18. Actually, I think most people find reassurance in this simple phrase. It allows them to find purpose in the seemingly purposeless losses in life. An answer to the question why that salves better than,"Your daughters dead beacause a drunk wouldn't take a cab home." When reason and logic rips the soul apart, faith bonds it back. Part of being human I suppose. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  19. Soldiers are normally directed to express their opinions as their personal perspective (job and duties) only. There are certain boundaries that they may not cross (giving out unit information, plans, common sense stuff that may endanger mission).

  20. Yeah, I head a Chaplain told one of the families that God works in mysterious ways in an effort to comfort them. Nothing like egging on inflamitory comments. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  21. Yes, we have the best and most expesive toys in the sandbox, but Americans have always been willing to trade gold for blood when it comes to our soldiers. A policy that allows us all to sleep at night. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  22. Senator, I do not recall. Senator, I have no recollection. Senator, the video..er.. video... I can explain.... Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  23. Yes, but it most definitely wasn't a double falcon-eagle, if it ever occured.... Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  24. Hey, Just what I've been looking for before I go on my next Armored Personnel Carrier hunt. Hey... that's no that far away... how much are those???? Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  25. Ron, I can neither confirm, nor deny any 'night jump' incident ever took place. If such a 'night jump' did take place, I can not recall if one JM, let's call him 'Ron', would have taken the time to orient less experienced jumpers of the situation and their option to remain in the AC if they felt uncomfortable. And if said incident ever occurred, said pseudonym JM may or may not have given a quick 'night jump' brief to said jumpers so everyone who chose to continue would land safely. But I can neither confirm, nor deny, said incident ever took place. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
