The Thirtieth Random Discussion for (TPB)M (and may they R.I.P.)

Hmmm that dream could be misinterpreted due to the censor. Everyone please dream of good STUFF and forgive my potty mouth.

That's it, this thread is asleep. *zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Good Morning All

Got my 5 votes in already. Sure wish we could bump H.A.R.T. up another notch soon.

OK, this is the last of Chapter VII and the last Bovine for a while. Gimme a few weeks to get caught up again. Thanks.

Perfect cliff-hanger. I didn't see that coming...

Dood, I can assure you she smells wonderful, like a freshly laundered sock. I have very little to do in life, pick on Sarge and I am driving your way to feed you your knee caps.

*sigh* Chivalry is not dead. Thanks Zane.

Gorgeously pretty.

I think you should draft up the proposal and begin the process of declaring a "Just cuz" day. Let us know when you have jumped through all the hoops and got all the signatures to make it so.

I don't know if any of you have Pick Up Stix restaurants where you live, but they have the coolest dragon in their commercials...

For a Green dragon it is pretty cool, but it doesn't compare beat to our unbeatable Purple Dragon.

Hi Pea.

Cool tiny little V8. Really tiny.

Very cool. I remember one of my brothers having a model clear plastic engine that ran on batteries. It was cool to watch especially after they spent hours putting it all together. Very similar to THIS though I doubt seriously the price was anything like that even factoring in consumer price index.

Time heals. And when you throw in little Jasper, tis even better.

G'MAE all. Except for waking up when we went to bed, Bax was cough/gag free last night. He let me shove the pill into the back of his mouth like a champ this morning too. First time he has had to have that done.

Good to hear he is doing better, the meds seems to be working.

Jasper is weird, any pill or such we give him we just offer like a treat, and he gobbles them down without even batting an eye. Throw them in with his food, and they are the first thing he eats.

Side note on the insignia Dan drew. Three stripes now are given to Senior Airmen. The rank of Sargent is no longer in the structure. When I went in it was Airmen Basic - no insignia; Airman - 1 stripe; Airman 1st Class-2 stripes; Sargent - 3 stripes; Staff Sargent - 4 stripes. While still in they added Senior Airman which took over 2 stripes, Airman lost their star and Airman 1st Class was 1 stripe with a star. I think the brass were bored and had nothing better to do then to mess with the ranks and make it take longer to reach NCO status.

There is your trivia for the day.

As a medic we wore our rank as tack pins on the lapels of our white uniforms. I achieved the rank of Sargent when my parents came to visit while I was at George AFB. They were able to be there when our CO presented me with the rank and my Dad pinned on my new stripes. It was our, "you've reached adulthood" moment that each of us kids had at some significant point in our early 20's with our dad. *wipes leaky eyes*

Sure wish I could find the pictures. I'm sure I have them, somewhere.

Nice story, Sarge.

On the age...you said it, I didn't. And I wish we could bump HART up as well.

That's good trivia, I was not aware of any of that...never really understood the rankings. Hope you're able to find the pics, that would be neat to see.

Morning all...bit of a tragedy in the area last night (not trying to be a downer) as there was a murder/suicide...the lady had made the news a while back for taking her firearm to her child's soccer game....her husband allegedly shot her. Can't help but wonder....nah. I'll leave my thoughts to myself. Their kids were home. That's what bugs the heck outta me. At least one is Blondie's age.

Sorry to hear that, Chet. Is he on the wall?

Yes he is. And let me tell you how powerful it is just seeing his name on the that wall. I give D.C. credit for getting the memorials right.

Hello and howdy. After days of rain, we have sun today.
