I would like to first start off by saying that I miss Lurch! One cannot merely replace a true hero! I hope to only soldier on in his stead. I will strive to carry the torch and attempt to shed light on this Maladministration's illegal and immoral war in Iraq. I hope to expose every nook and cranny to the the cleansing rays of sunshine. I hope to learn and grow with each and every comment from this distinguished and heroic community!

A bit of personal history, I'm a twenty year Army/ARNG veteran. I served 9 years AD and 11 yrs with HI-ARNG. I've been to Team Spirit and Reforger. I've been Bluefor and Opfor at both, NTC and JRTC. I've helped build the border wall in Tecate, CA. and blown up log cribs in Deep Woods, Maine. I've been stationed in FRG and Korea and numerous stateside posts. However, I consider myself very lucky, in that, I've never had to fire a shot in anger! Please do not denigrate me for that, that is all I ask! I was stop-lossed by my C.O. during GWI, as I was about to be sent to Ft Stewart for deployment to the Gulf, and, my retirement papers had cleared before my boyz were mobilized for GWII!

I'm always open to frank and honest discussions, and, I don't have a thin skin. All I ask for is fair play, if you think I'm out of line , please let me know, believe me, I'll let you know...!

Mahalo!
