Exactly!!!!!!! Dom

It is a slap in the face to the many many Rangers out there past, present and future! Berrets used to mean something. It made you stand out from the others. It showed that you had something extra in you that the normal soldier either dosen't have or didn't want to work hard and earn. Very upsetting day when that happened. If I was s Ranger I would be ripping them off peoples heads as a protest! There was talk for years when I was in of switching everyone to Berrets but they would have been the color of your Corp. (i.e. Orange for signal, lt Blue for infantry) I didn't think that idea was to bad but still took away from the guys (and girls) that really worked hard to get theirs. Basic traing is a vaction campared to Airborne School, Ranger school and the Q course. Dom

Meeker monday is just getting started. I will have to llok at the details and let you know more. I'll let ya know in a few. Hey I had to at least give it a good try for the pics. Dom

You can remember back that far Spark? Those pills must be working. Thanks Dom

Now you have to remember we are skydivers here and we will be happy with any topless photos! You should check out Freefly Friday at the tunnel when you get a chance. It is pretty cheap and the Fly Boyz and Alchemy run it. They have also just set up "Meeker Monday" for us RW freaks! fairly inexpensive and done in a camp type of atmosphere. Dom

I saw the Halls commercial. Ehh. Not much to it. I am still waiting to see the Verizon commercial they filmed out here last year. The ones with James Earl Jones. I have seen the water skiing and the one wear he dances. My friend Scott did the skydiving one and it has not appeared yet. Dom

My name is Dominic and I sell gear. Dom

You let us be the judge of that! Post any topless photos you may have for immediate review! Looks like you are having fun. When you gonna come and fly in the Perris Skyventure? I am going in tonight for my B-day gift to myself! Dom

Happy Birth day Base. It is my birthday as well. 30 yrs old isn't bad. I am turning 33! Dom

Thanks Rosa. You to Linda! I love it when you talk dirty to me baby! Dom

I second that!!!!!!!! Dom

Good to see it is the same in any branch of service. You fuck up you move up! That being said, where can I sign up for that ride! Dom

DOn't tell any one but I miss the daily pounding of the mouse! Let them figure that one out! Dom

Thanks everyone! I wish I was only 21! 33 years old today. Any birthday jumps can be put on my account at Perris! Dom

OF course you have the right to an opinion. That doesn't mean you get it. What has pissed me off about this thread is that people are making comments that reflect negativley on the individual soldiers that are over ther fighting and giving there lives. Just the very name of the thread is insulting. Remember your comment in the Veterans day thread? I do. It brings up the same feelings for me. Dom

I could talk till I am blue in the face and you would just not get it! How do I know this? because I have had the conversation with others as well. Unless you have been there and been a part of it you just won't get it! Serve you country. Fight for some elses rights and way of life. Actually get out and help someone that needs it. Then you will get it. Dom

So how many years did you serve in the military? Sounds like you know exactley how it works. I never said activation orders are illegal. THey will be told as soon as they get there what is going on and know damn well exactley what is expected from them when they get there. I said we have a right and the duty to question illegal orders. Meaning if I get to another country and they tell me to shoot somebody, they also should have told me long before I got there why I am there and why I am shooting at that guy. There are laws that must be followed dring war and if a slodiers orders do not follow the laws of war or the mission objective and hand then they are illegal and should not be followed. It is not laughable at all. You say we fight because we are told to. That is to simplistic of an answer! Soldiers are not robots that just follow orders. Dom

Andrew, This is like the Veterans day thread. YOU JUST DON'T GET IT. By verbally attacking soldiers that are willing to give there lives for what is right. How do you expect people like Steve and myslef to react? Have you ever served your country? Have you ever been in harms way protecting some body elses rights? Until you have then you should keep your comments to yourself about soldiers. Talk about the GOVT. if you want to. Don't make comments about soldier that are negative. Without soldiers like myself and Steve and many others on this site. The world would be a lot more of shitty place then it is now. For the record I am not just speaking of US Soldiers. I am speaking for every fighting man and woman that has ever served a just nation. Dom

So nobody told them what grid point they would be staying at. That is a stupid question for them to ask. Every single soldier in the Army knows what there mission is. There missionis to do there job that they have trained for. Every unit knows it's mission. Of course reservists are going to complain more. They have just had to do something they actually thought they would never have to do. GO TO WAR. It is the same everytime something comes up and they use reserves. Dom

I never said it wasn't about oil. I was trying to explain what it is about for a soldier. Soldiers and the Govt. are different. WE serve the Govt. but we all have our own minds and make our own decisions. Human nature will have you look for the best in a situation. The best we can look for in this is that hopefully innocent children over there won't have to go through what thousands of others have had to indure for the entire lives in that part of the world. AND FOR THE RECORD I AM NOT YOURS OR ANYBODIES FOOL! I DID TAKE OFFENCE TO THAT! Dom

Not looking for one, but thank you. Dom

War or no that seems about the norm anyway. Regardless of a war or not. Half the guys in the military love it and the other half hate it. Moral is of course going to be down anytime a soldier is away from home and in a war zone. I swore up and down that I would never reenlist in the Army. I extended once and reenlisted once. The second time I swore to my CSM I would never reenlist just two days before I actually did. Most soldiers are 18-20 or so anyway. How many 18-20 year olds do you know that are happy all the time with where they are and with what they are doing? So if half of them are happy in the Army then I look at it as something is good. Dom

THat is not true. Soldiers now where they are going! They may not tell you, but they know where they are going! the last line is a bunch of crap as well. Soldiers have the right to question any ordr given to them if it is against the law. We in fact have a responsiblity to challenge something if it is not right. Our soldiers know the why and aren't stupid enough to believe a lie, and are smart enough to know if and when they are being lied to. Dom

QuoteSure its great that Libya is offering to do this, but invading one country to scare others into submission, when the one being invaded is 'innocent of the charge' is going to come back and bite you in the ass.Quote F--k em. If going into Iraq scares other law breaking countries to clean up there act then good! Let them be afraid of us for a while. I don't care what reason we went into Iraq! That son of a camel needed to be taken care of. Don't tell me any different. I spent 9 months over there the first time and we gave the bastard the benefit of the doubt and he spit in our faces for the next 12 years. Killing his own people and generally being (in my mind) the f--king devil. I wish they had strung him up in public and did to him what he did to others for decades! I served 9 years in the military and never once did a single soldier I know go off to have his ass shot at without having a reason. They may or may not agree with the reason but they have one. What it comes down to is individuals asking themselves "Why am I here?" I asked myself the same question for months during Desert Storm and Desert Shield. The bottom line for me was the innocent people that had been hurt by the Iraqi's. I have posted this before. All it takes is to look into a little girls eyes that has had her father killed and mother raped and beaten. Then you know why you are there! Forget Terrorists, oil and WMD. For me it was always about the innocents. The people that where killed everyday by that sick bastard! As long as our Govt. keeps going after countries that treat there people like he did, I don't care if they tell me we are going there because the price of bread is to high! The bottom line is that SOB needed to be taken care off and he was. Dom

PISSSST! Hey, look the other way for just a second! Dom
