Dave,<br>It's good to see that us old timers have the thick skins that come with experience. Some of our thin skined friends would have been offended.<br>Have a good day.<br><br>Bruce

 

Good one dave! <br> The doc gave me 6 months to live I told him I wasn't sure if I could have the bill paid by then, so the Doc told me to go ahead take another 6 months then ;D<br><br> Gonzo I am going to keep that dollar I owe Moses because he cheated on our bet about how long will it take to swim the red sea, I had no idea he planned to jog it ;D <br><br> Bruce secure the Ma-Deuce, I can't get mad at these guys for telling the truth. I am just thankful that us old timers are still around after all the stuff we went through. <br> Bruce if you get called up for &quot;Operation Smacky Iraqi&quot;, Have them put in a few Handicapped parking spaces over there so I can come join in on the fun ;D

 

TOP,<br>We've already been taken care of. The guy's here at the shop have already procurred the blue handicap placards for our hummers. Those that are in wheel chairs have a MWO that can be applied to their chairs. It puts the big super single sand tires on it, adds a 4 cyl Cummins with auto transmission, and pindle mount for a M-240B. Top speed is about 70. There is an optional Igloo cooler for the back. Paint scheme is dependent upon area of deployment.<br>As to deployments, Rumor Central is all abuzz with everything but meat frying and money rattling. We've got a bunch of people that got in the Guard to avoid those possibilities, and they are the ones that are crying the most. Us oldtimers that have been there and done that before are going to have to take up the slack and accomplish the mission, again.<br>Standing by to stand by.<br><br>Shortround out

 

Let me see if I remember my way around this place. West from the airport, right at the mangey camel, cross the big ditch where all the frisbee looking things are laying around, pass the vacant airport, left at the T-72 shell, there they are.<br><br>Irondeuce this is Black Lion, fire for effect, over!

 

Shot,<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>& gt;<br>&gt;<br>Out!!<br><br>Ceremony 26 Charlie, request new target, Downwind Out.

 

Late splash over!<br><br>End of mission, target neutralized, estimate two track vehicles and 8 casualties, over.

 

<br><br> Good morning to ya, i can sure relate to this one mostly<br> on colder mornings<br><br> have a good day<br> wizzard 1
