That's the funny thing though, I never called them and asked for a debate. It seems they are making it up for a variety of reasons. (1) when I don't show they can claim I'm afraid of them and backed down or (2) maybe this is their way of trying to pressure me into debating them. Crazies...

Code Pink - Update So these wack jobs are still at it. They've recently posted that they have been challenged to a debate against me. Which of course is not true. Perhaps they think if they put it in writing, it must be true, and therfore must happen. Crazy, Crazy People. Here is...

This is great! Thanks you guys. It's great to have a Plan B, or maybe a more fitting Plan A for some folks. JB

USMC and ARMY have very different missions. Like my buddy TPG, I'm biased, but that's because I chose the better of the two :shake::shake: Seriously though, research them both. They are both similar in many ways, but very, very different. The Marines have their own air wing, the Army...

I've met your Regional a few times and I don't think he would mind you calling. Do you have his number? JB

If USMC or SEALS is your end goal, there are more than one way to achieve that. For example to get to USMC there are 5 paths towards a commission. 1 of those is USNA, 1 is PLC, 1 is via a program for enlisted personnel, one is ROTC and one is OCC. The majority come from PLC. For SEALS...

In '91 we had a week of block leave, and I took off out of the area. We had orders to "NOT" even approach the border. When we returned I was standing in front of my platoon and they were counting off, and I was surprised that we had 100% attendance. Later I had a couple of L/CPL's come up...

Good suggestion. I think it would great to have a section for "alternatives and/or plan b's" also. For example, PLC. I know a number of OSO's who would love to logon to the board and provide advice and answers on their programs. JB

It's harder than that. The class is ranked into 3rds, and each of those 3rds are broken into 3rds. This is called the 3rds rule. If you are not in the top 2/3's of the top 1/3, you likely won't get your first MOS choice. It's very, very competitive. Get with your OSO and start...

That was a good one. I just finished reading Jenny's email out loud and my wife and daughter and a couple of her friends busted up. We often refer to Ca. as the land of fruits and nuts. And trust me we are "NOT" talking about all of the fruit and nut orchards out in the central valley. Jenny...

Of course you are correct in that it is good for the military to act on this and not cover it up. I'm sure usna mom agrees also. I think what she meant by it doesn't look good is just to mean that it appears to be what it appears to be. I'm sure she, like I and am sure others all hope when...

To let the UCMJ play out, would include an arraignment, investigation, and eventually a trial.

Mine has her heart on 2757 (French Linguist) or 2712 (Arabic Linguist) with a primary MOS of 0210 (Human Intelligence). She took the placement test for 2757 and placed at an advanced level (highest you can get), but for Arabic she's on her second year and has some work to do. My mom is...

No, she was just your stereotypical bad driver from an un-named far east location, un-named so that I don't sound racist.:smile::smile::smile: When she hit me, she pickup my rear wheel by coming up under the saddlebag and I tried to pull away, but with the rear wheel up, all I could do is go...

I can't touch this one, I'm in no position to judge. I will only say that Marines can play rough, and sometimes they don't realize how rough. I remember in Oki we used to box and wrestle each other, and more than once we ended up with someone getting a broken bone, or dislocated shoulder...
