That's probably pretty accurate now that I think about it. I knew guys that had 15+ years in that had never deployed. Then I knew guys that had been in for 6 years and 4 of those were overseas. Seemed like the same guys kept getting stuck in the rotation. Yeah it was such a beautiful day. Sunny, perfect temp, clear sky and clear air. Sad how the day ended after such a good start.

I went to basic in 2003 and I remember my DS telling us that at least 90% of us would be deployed to a combat zone. I'd like to know how many of us did.

I forgot about the gas hikes too.

How many people remember exactly where you were at on that day? I sure do. 2,977 people lost their lives because of the actions of 19 hijackers. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, followed by United Airlines Flight 175 which hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. Another group of hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m, after the passengers on board engaged in a fight with the hijackers. Some say this was religion, some say politics. Regardless of why this happened, it does not change the fact that many innocent people died that day. Remember the firefighters, EMT's, police and everyone else who ran into the buildings while everyone else was running out. They faced fear and death to protect their fellow Americans. Take a moment of silence to reflect, remember or pray. Ask someone how they are doing, and truly mean it. Hold the door for someone. Help the little old lady with her groceries. Bring back manners and honest to the country. We are better than what we have become at the high costs we have paid.

Mines working. What time you going?

$9/mo full coverage.

Wait a minute.....it's only a one owner bike? I didn't know that.

I don't think I'm gonna do it. Gotta drive to drop my kid of, drive back, get the bike, go to the start point, do the ride, ride home, get the car, pick up kid and drive home. All that for a ride through Columbus isn't worth it. Figured I'd have some daddy/daughter time at the AMA.

I'm gonna go.

Your thinking about the cream pie, aren't you?

Can "porter" and "ghey" be interchanged? "Damn that was such a porter thing to say. You are :superporter:" :lol:

I really don't want to get involved in this thread, but I have found just the opposite. Seems that saying "Merry Christmas" pisses more people off. Christmas refers to the one Christian holiday. "Happy Holidays" encompasses all of the holidays around that time. We are so PC anymore we want to please everyone. Just what I've seen. Carry on. Maybe because combat in Iraq is "over"?

Exactly. Both sides are have there extremist, oddball, nut jobs. I say we boycott both parties completely and start fresh. Or at least institute term limits.

Ditto.

That's cool. $100 bucks seems right in the middle for those classes. Good luck with it, have fun. Oh and carry often. Shit can hit the fan anywhere, anytime.

When are you taking your class? How much?

I'll get right on that. Let me photo copy my SSN card for you first.

I'm sorry, did you not refute my last statement? Must have missed it if you did.
