Good Luck,

I tried to re-enlist myself in October and the Docs doing the physical said I have flat feet!!

Shit, flat feet? So I told my recruiter to "hook it up" but it doesnt seem to be going anywhere.

I was in during the Gulf war 82nd Airborne 1st brigade 501 Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR).

"The devils in baggy pants". "You call, we fall". Deployed anywhere in the world in 18 hours.

But I guess I have to leave all that for the younger folks.

Still I would have loved to go back....nothing like breathing the desert air which is good for me. (sinus)

Take care in boot camp.

Quit smoking crack...the USA is not a bully!

what are hippies smoking these days?

let me explain a few things to everyone:

let's chew on this first: what if america wasn't the world's only superpower?

Patriot

Dolph,

With your education I dont reccomend you join. You'd only make about $500 a month if you're single!!

But as long as we're talking about war let me take a moment to remember Sgt. Checo who was the latest casualty of the war on terrorism. He was only 22 years old. He grew up in my neighborhood and his funeral was held several blocks from me here in uptown Manhattan.

He re-enlisted after doing his initial 4 years. He, like many others before him, did not join the armed forces to become rich or famous, he joined becaused he felt that it was his duty.

Like an Army Cadence goes:

..........Oh hail, oh hail, oh Infantry, Queen of battle follow me. The infantry life is the life for me, 'cause nothing in this world is free.......

Yes freinds not even freedom is free.

Here's to you Sgt. Checo, I'll see you soon...*

Good Post DM.

BTW if you decide to join the Army you wont get stuck doing laundry. Everything is by contract now, so lets say you want to go Special Forces, you sign and the Counsler signs and thats what you'll train in. If you want to be an air traffic controller, you sign they sign and off you go.

Thats the way it woks now. Of course you need to take the ASVAB test so they can grade your intelligence for certain jobs, but I dont think you'd have a problem there.

Nails in The WT Coffin

by hillbilly in

nails in the wt coffin-- what kind of nails?

a while back i posted my opinion that the wt's demise would come at the hand of the "home grown" legal department.

in my scenario i see the lawyers flitering cash out and creating legal manuvers to protect the players ( like any other corporate "legal theft").

I agree Scully,

Just like they did with the Aid to Bible understanding book.

360 Furman up for sale

how you guys doing?.

sorry if this was discussed already but i havent been around lately.. my sis and bro in law had some of their witness family fly in and visit them last week.

they decided that they wanted to visit bethel here in nyc.

Patriot

I'm tryting to get a hold of my sister. They also visited the WT "educational facility" in Patterson and found it almost empty compared to how it use to be swarming with workers and visitors.

Most of the tour was directed to just walking up and down the hallways opening one or 2 doors and saying something about what goes on in there but without actually letting anyone in.

I mentioned several months ago of how my good freind who at the time was the P.O. of his Congo. took his visiting relatives to the Bethel complex in Brooklyn. When they came up on a door marked I.T. , one of my friends Bro-in-laws who is an elder asked the tour guide if they could see what goes on there, to which the group was told that they could not because that section deals with "sensative information".

Everyone was astonished so the guide went into the room and opened one of the Blinds up a little so that the group can take a peek through the glass.

Needless to say everyone walked away with questions as to why the WT would keep "sensative information" that their own "brothers" can't see.

My sis and bro in law had some of their witness family fly in and visit them last week. They decided that they wanted to visit Bethel here in NYC. (They went just this past Friday)

To their astonishement, they found the factories (or printery as they are now calling it) 3/4 empty. All the conveyor belts have been removed and there were hardly no personnel.

As if that wasnt enough shock for them, when they tried to visit 360 Furman which is the shipping "Central", they were told that the building was almost empty and that the property was up for sale.

The reason was that it was no longer feasable for the Society to ship to other countries being that most already had their own factories.

They were pretty disappointed not to find the "busy brothers" at work like you see on the WT videotape.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll sell all their property in Brooklyn!

A Part Of Died

By: Harry Koch

Somebody killed a policeman today

and a part of America Died

A piece of our country he swore to protect

Will be buried with him at his side

The suspect who shot him will stand up in court

With counsel demanding his rights

While a young widowed mother must work for her kids

And spend alone many lone nights

The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,

Just as if he'd gone off to war

Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast

To his name they will add a gold star

Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,

It happened in your town or mine

While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,

A cop put his life on the line

Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street

And he stands at each new rookies side.

He answered the call and gave us his all,

And a part of died.

There are alot of mistakes that are made when you only have a half-second to decide your fate.

I dont know what happened here and I dont care.

Its very easy and "fun" to imagine how terrible and evil some officers can be but the truth of the matter is that a very small percentage really needs to get off the streets.

It's nice to sit back and get all worked up over how the media portrays certain police stops and how they did'nt follow "proper procedure" and then demand the officers head for not doing so.

Its nice to live in a place where everyone has the same rights, right? So why when a heroin smoking addict reaches for an officers gun and he defends himself is he not entitled to the same treatment as many here apparently are fighting for when it comes to you local crack addict?

Police officers can stop anybody at anytime if the find their actions suspicious. The way he walks, how his bike wobbles in and out of the sidewalk, how he is constantly looking at you as he rides by....etc.

If the stop goes to hell, then it went to hell. It's happend to me before.

But next time I decide to pause that half second to see if this guy is really going to shoot me and he does....I just hope you guys make a big stink about how I got Iced and how my rights were violated and how I deserved better.
