  1. Since the talk tonight is about old movies etc.. I thought I would kick this topic out for discussion. My vote is "The Prisoner". I saw it when it was first aired. (Yes I am a Geezer now)
  2. What MOS did you select? If you haven't think about MI (military intelligence) There is a big demand for those skill sets after you get out.
  3. It is an excellent movie. Before you watch it, read up a bit on the movie and the world events that were going on during the making of the movie. It really puts the movie in perspective. Enjoy it.

    My new hat

    Nice hat!! Every one beat me to the funny jokes
  6. I remember when Jaqui Downs made her first jump in Hawaii. The operation at Dillingham at the time (1982) had a wavier that stated FJC students could be put out using "jumbo PCs" and all students had to have a radio. The day she jumped the winds came up but she was put out anyhow. She was told "hold into the wind and you will be OK" She hit the runway and was dragged way the hell down. The skin from her right hip all the way down to her right ankle was gone. She was on crutches for a real long time as I recall. Most people with that as a first jump experience would have never come back. She was different. She hung out at the dropzone and eventually jumped again and was a regular. I always admired her for her courage. The kid never gave up. The last time I saw her was around Thanksgiving 1990. I had made a couple of jumps at Perris that day and I ran into her at the manifest. It had been 7 years since I last saw her I said "your living the dream" She agreed. Im not a very religious person, but if there is a heaven, I hope she is there and I hope shes still jumping. Blue skies Kiddo...

  8. You might also look into becoming a probation officer. I have 16 yrs on the job and it is very rewarding.
  9. I was hoping stupid people were no longer in the sport. Obviously I was wrong
  10. Plus if you have a lot of comedians for friends -they have a tendency to make you the 'butt" of their jokes. All jokes aside it is a good test to have and the peace of mind is worth it
  11. I also read Playboy for the articles
  12. I don't recognize the sauce. I don't go to Hooters for the food. Its the service The young ladies are very..prompt. (Thats my story and I'm sticking to it)

    New job "dramas"

    Every veteran, in every branch of service, remembers the first time they met their Drill Sgt. A wonderful person full of wit, wisdom. personal observation and a command of profanity that defies discription
  14. In my fantasay town where I'm the mayor I'm having Jack and coke. Maybe later followed by some Coronas. In reality sober as a judge Thanks General order #1
  15. Happy Birthday. May your beer always be cold.

    Oh no!

    Don't you know - Duct Tape fixes every thing!!!!!
  17. Its an old saying "if it sounds to good to be true -it is"
  18. KLOS is gone??? My God I leave the country and everything goes to hell in a handbasket
  19. I knew all that glitter you generate would cause a reaction somewhere...
  20. I am currently deployed with CARNG- California Army National Guard (for you civillians.) On the civillian side of the house I am a probation officer for LA county, working with juvenile delinquents. With all my life experiences under my belt I am qualified to separate fly shit from black pepper using boxing gloves
  21. Patrick McGoohan- He just passed away recently but the "Prisoner" is one of the greatest shows of all time. I was hooked when it was first brodcast in 68. Every thing the man did was great from "Secret Agent" to "Brave Heart"
  22. Happy Birthday!! You have just started your journey down lifes trail. (Wait until you hit my age- I fantasize about being 50)
  23. Since I've been deployed when I get calls like that I ask a lot of dumb questions and extend the conversation out. I figure they call me and hence they get billed for the overseas charge
