    Need some old dogs with good memories. AET to AVN conversion dates.

    I need to rough out the dates that AVN was initiated and our trade conversion began. I was there when it happened. I did my BET in Jan of Feb 1996 and went to Trenton on my IOC in May 1996. I know the process was 'completed' in 1997, my recollection is we changed trade badges in 1995, but damned...

    Body Piercings

    OK, so..anyone ever have to remove quickly and discreetly or explain a body piercing while on duty? I had my right nipple pierced for a couple of years before I got out, but it was never an issue. One of the guys on my crew wore a tongue piercing and was pretty good at hiding it. I've not got...

    The movie 300 and marriage.

    I think that some of the lines in 300 are applicable to domestic relationships. Having a morning argument with your wife..she looks over her shoulder at you as you scamper out the door, thinking you're safe and says "Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... For tonight, we dine in hell" Two...

    Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers.

    Another fantastic show. It goes into how contractors are basically raping the american public for the contract jobs that military folks would normally do over in Iraq. I can't believe they would contract out mess hall, turning chow time into a 1 to 2 hour wait in line, no water treatment...
