I received this email from a close friend of mine and I thought I would share it with you all. As a military man myself I can relate to it as so can many of the other military personel who frequent this site. Please remember our soldiers. Subject:Please Read--Please Pray The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either. He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm Howitzers. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death then he should have in his short lifetime. He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not "just" a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood. Prayer wheel for our military...please don't break it. Please send this on after this short prayer. Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen." Prayer Wheel: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our ground troops in Afghanistan, sailors on ships, and airmen in the air, and for those at war with Iraq. There is nothing attached.... This can be very powerful.... Just send this to all the people in your address book. Do not stop the wheel, please.... Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman, prayer is the very best one. CSA #699 Muff #3804

You know something i really should fill that little yellow card out. I have 137 jumps and still haven't filled out my card. Maybe I should just wait for 200 jumps and take all the license tests at once. CSA #699 Muff #3804

Thank you now show your boobs CSA #699 Muff #3804

Enough, this is a post about who got to jump, how much beer you drank and those of us who got some. NOT about man boobs and small packages. So stop hijacking my post. ITS RUDE CSA #699 Muff #3804

No, it was the first thought that came into my sick little head until I scrolled down for a beaver shot and saw something I would rather not have seen. I'm not talking about a tan line either. CSA #699 Muff #3804

As a military person myself to say bad things about my commander-in-chief as well as saying he should be removed from office is grounds for a court marshal. In war times and extreme cases it could be punishable by death. I say F*&K ALL OF YOU anti war people who agree with this article. CSA #699 Muff #3804

This has been done before nun the less, SNIFF SNIFF it's still BEAUTIFUL! THANKS! CSA #699 Muff #3804

[B]THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THAT SITE AGAIN FOR OVER A YEAR NOW[/B] I found it once before but never wrote the site address down. I've been wanting to get c8 in the clip art section as a tatoo. This makes my day

If you ever make it to the states lets spare. Since moving back to Washington State from North Carolina I haven't been able to find a style I liked. It sucks sparing with a heavy bag it doesn't fight back. CSA #699 Muff #3804

Would you jump (and land!) a round?
homer replied to eddytheeagle's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Ahhhh been there done that. I have 24 of them. 23 on T10- charlies and 1 on a Dash1 Bravo. CSA #699 Muff #3804 -
Sorry, the weather sucked so I went to the mountains to do a little fishing in the rain. That and my rigger hasn't called me about my reserve repack being finished. CSA #699 Muff #3804

***Hope Larry and Bob are doing good out at Richland Sky Sports. Looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks when they have a Caravan in for the weekend! (March 29-30th I think??) It was here 2 weeks ago with about 20+ jumpers present. Not sure what the date is for this month is. Larry and Bob are doing great! Couldn't ask for better friends. CSA #699 Muff #3804

Your only 3 hours away! I have got to get up there sometime. Over here on the east side in the Tri- Cities we can see Rainier, St. Helens, Adams and Hood as our back drop up to altitude. CSA #699 Muff #3804

I have them in my risers and there on both front and rear. There used mostly for CReW to dive since dive loops are troublesome to get into sometimes. Sorry I don't have a pic for you but to give you a basic idea of size there about 2 inches squared and made of a thick and very stiff harness type webing. CSA #699 Muff #3804

We have a couple of current CReW world record holders at my home DZ. Just ask anybody at Kapowsin about Vern Bates and Ken Smith there some of the best on the west coast. I look to start doing CReW with them in another 70 or so jumps. CSA #699 Muff #3804

unknown amounts of beer, 4 jumps on my brand new Hornet 170, As well as my first jumps from a Caravan and 2 BOOBIES IN MY MOUTH! CSA #699 Muff #3804

Its all bad acting and far fetched DZ drama. I guess thats why I like the move. It gets me motivated to jumps when the weather is bad. I remember being at FT. Bragg when some of the GK and wind tunnel seans were filmed. Something of interest I say the acta r that plays "Redline" a couple of weeks ago at work on skinamax doing a bad B-rated porn.

Thanks all for the support it means a lot to us soldiers to have someone say THANK YOU once in a while. A lonely soldier could always use a skin i.e. BOOBIE pic now and then I will have an address posted in a month or so when I get settled and have one to post. BLUE SKIES CSA #699 Muff #3804

As a person who is being Activated and headed to the Mid-East what do I think? I think this should have been taken care of a long time ago and now Junior is trying to fix Daddies mistakes. Politics and ethics need to be set aside and he needs to be removed from power for the greater good as well as safety of the world. I can't say to much but what needs to be done is going to get done.

No thanks, and she is not a chick. She is an extremely beautiful and sexy woman whom I haven't yet had the opportunity to please yet. I will get her a vibrator if need be. CSA #699 Muff #3804
