Rooting for the Seahawks 100%. It's going to be a close game but Seattle wins 30-27. MVP = Russell Wilson I respect the Broncos and Peyton Manning but this is our year!:beer1:

I work for the WA State Liquor Control Board and I want to clarify a couple things in this post. There will not be a new department in our agency. The licensing will be handled by the same employees who currently license businesses for alcohol sales, we may need to hire a couple more people, but...

Thanks NorwichDad. I got word from him that he arrived in A-stan yesterday, so all prayers are very welcome. Reading today's Stars and Stripes online I found this article regarding the green on blue attacks: "Previously rejected report is now key to US effort to curb insider killings in...

"Hundreds Fired in Afghan Insider Probe" http://www.armytimes.com/news/2012/09/ap-hundreds-afghans-fired-in-insider-probe-090512/ I'm glad to see something is being done, although this should have happened from the beginning.

Sending prayers for the families and friends of these soldiers. RIP

It makes me physically sick to hear that security issues were ignored so that they wouldn't hinder recruitment of Afghan forces. My son is set to deploy within days and these green on blue attacks really concern me. I would be torn apart if he lost his life over there but I don't know if I could...

I agree. I’m not saying the American public needs to give more recognition or praise to the military. I do think the level of public apathy regarding war is disgusting. Everyone was all gung-ho on getting out of Iraq but you don’t hear the same about Afghanistan. If more people cared maybe we...

So are you saying that makes it okay to ignore what is going on in Afghanistan? If it is predetermined and meaningless lets pull all Americans out now instead of 2014. I heard today that we have surpassed 2,000 American troops dead in the Afghanistan war. It took 9 years to reach 1,000 deaths...

I don't think this is a surprise to those of us on SAF. http://www.armytimes.com/news/2012/08/ap-afghanistan-forgotten-war-082112/ What the Kardashians are doing is more important.:barf:

I agree that there are differences and that the nature of one’s service is not irrelevant. My problem is with the superior attitude of some who think “I am more of a patriot because I do (fill in the blank).” My thanks to that SEAL and that bus driver because they both CHOSE to serve when...

I can’t believe what I am reading on Service Academy Forums of all places! Is minimizing the service of others who don’t serve in a combat zone really helping anyone? In my opinion all this does is make good people feel bad. Anyone who willingly takes an oath to serve knows they may give their...

My son is enjoying the Week of Eagles. It’s a nice break since his deployment is coming soon. If you are on Facebook check out the "101st Airborne Division (Air Assault)" page for pictures and stories this week.

Another loss for the West Point family. Maj. Kennedy was a 2000 grad and former TAC at the academy. http://www.west-point.org/users/usma2000/57030/ Prayers for his family, especially his wife and two small children.

The second 2010 grad to be KIA this last week. RIP http://www.west-point.org/users/usma2010/66560/

I agree, but it is slightly better than the "Army of one" crap they had for a few years. Why did they ever change "Be all you can be"? I will always like that one. Happy Birthday Army!
