Congrats Frank on the 6K milestone.  Awesome, deserves more than just extra rations.  The CAG should be holdin' special ceremonies for this one.  Where is he anyway?  Nam, congrats on the 2K as well.  We'll save the extra rations till your off the meds

Ha Haaaa! Aaron!......No, the fair Priscilla....(damn! still laughing!) seems to be a born-in American! (OMG)

I believe that the XO and the fair Katie have a perfect symbiotic relationship! He gets to work and model......she gets to do whatever the Halligan's of the world do!

Not being rude........but it works for them! 

Thank you very much fellas!  Sorry, I don't have a speach or anythin' but I wanted to post my 6000th here with you guys.

Here here!

Will do lewbud! Plan on making a trip down to the flight museum when it be all over! Then to Fort Hood and check out the changes and think about how nice it is not to be on that concrete at 104 F Melts the kiwi off the boots it does.

 Nam Nam Nam..... Don't fool yerself. A couple of come hither looks and ye be taking spanish lessons! I know you be wise to the world and have all the faith in ye. But I fear the good XO may be lost. Forgot to keep his fingers crossed and fallen victim to the cooties he has,

Katie seems like a good catch though and he be a lucky man as are you. Were be the foul flattulant Bondoman? He has a way with the ladies ye know. Like his peg leg me thinks.

Ahoy! Quitcher gripin' about the weather.  You don't have two-a-days in 90 weather right now like me! LOL. I'm not sure how much building i'll be getting in with football and then school starting on the fifteenth, but i'll do my best Nam congrats on 2000 posts. And don't get too limey on us now

Yer lucky youngster!  Back when we had two a days, we were told we couldn't drink water or fluids in practice because we would cramp up.  We'd be given a salt tablet and no water.  If caught drinking we suffered the wrath of coach (cheap Star Trek ref).  Good luck this season.  Was a chilly 104 today in DFW.  Aaron, reef the sails and batten down the hatches and turn her into the wind.  If you could, send some of the rain north, we be a little dry up here.  Be safe.

Not the case at all Nam That was at Fort Hood a few years back now. When no one was hurt it actually took on a kinda humor watching someone get bombed by bubble wrap. As for the wiley Xo he be deciding where to make his historic post me thinks!

Sorry, was on phone with (maybe) GF.....read too fast. Thanks for the clearage! 

Yes Aaron hope all is well!!!!! Nam Congrats on the posts, I believe a tot is in order, and to the Occifers posts milestones as well.  To many, MANY more posts!!!!!!! We had a few close ones when I lived in Georgia. Just up the road from where we lived one went through and it literally looked like a giant lawn mower had went through the pine trees!!!!! Scary things they are!

Cheers, Richie

Aaron....to echo above....Tammy tape is the real deal! Frankie sent a bit to me in a post.........I checked it and tried it in an odd spot. The Tamiya tape seems paper based and works very well! I bought some Pactra (vinyl based) tape this weekend.....no comparison! The pactra has it's uses.....but I'm really awaiting my Tammy tape!

And don't get too limey on us now  Yer right raider83 ! Thats freaken freezing!  YEp Nam those sudden Tornados stink. I was having a meeeting just prior to formation in our Motor Pool once and it started raining. Then it went sideways( the rain) and everything turned white as a cloud with a deafing roar! It was over that quick and the bay doors had been ripped clear off. 5 ton trailers flipped upside down, telephone poles snapped like tooth picks and Bradleys and APC's pushed off line about 11 feet rocking on their chocks.  Amazingly no one was hurt just wet. The funny thing was a clam shell warehouse next door was ripped to shreads and as we were walking surveying the damage. Soldiers started getting beamed by big rolls of bubble wrap falling from the sky like bombs. Quite the scene.  Is that Tamiya Tape good stuff? I have never tried it. Got some model master stuff but it is just so so. ( wait did I ask a modeling question? ) Sorry

Jeeze Aaron! Hope I didn't make light of it.....didn't mean to! Hope all are well and sorry your place got nailed! The storms never seemed to get north of Ft. Hood a few years ago! Too bad about the damage.....hope everyone's okay!

Nam congrats on 2000 posts. And don't get too limey on us now

Hey Aaron! Yes! Been watching you weather down there. Brutal! While I was hospitalized in Temple, we would dread those T-Storms during hot weather. They seem to breed tornado cells and we'd have to evacuate to the basement. Being in a wheelchair made it a real pain! We never had one hit Temple while I was there, but they had to be careful.

I just rejoined the ship and will look at the XO's pc!

Ordered some stuff from SprueBrothers....a few kits and Tammy tape, on Saturday. They shipped today! Happy!
