Lol, you expect me to notice the details?

Damn, why do I get online after drinking? Posting random shit. I just realized I even posted this.

I find it's the only way to post. I was posting online and ordering a valve shim tool for my bike while I was drunk. I remember actually hitting the checkout button. Later when no tool arrived I check my order status, and there was no order. I was so drunk I didn't complete it. Plus my words get harder and harder to read from the misspellings.

Check your bank, my bank does it for free for their customers.

Yahoo headline reads: End of war hurting soldiers...

http://news.yahoo.com/war-drawdowns-wreak-havoc-guard-soldiers-lives-082140985.html

I got sick reading this trash.

"And unlike active-duty soldiers, Guard members may have little to go back to, if their country changes its mind." Wow. Nothing to go back to...must be real losers:rolleyes:

Deployed military can return to their same job, if they left on good terms. If your dumb ass quits...then it's your problem when you return.

If you didn't register for classes for OSU at 25 years old and return from war early...I don't think your education was derailed. Be happy with a few days away from the books, get your affairs in order, and return to school. Win/win/win.

If people believe these are issues now...wait 18+ months

My beef isn't with anyone that has a legitimate issue caused by our withdrawal/drawdown. The problem is with the examples and tone of the article. People should be happy with the wars ending, but this article wants to stir shit up. Shit that isn't even there. Also, it makes soldiers(all military) seem less than capable of handling their own business. On the verge of pitying us. Maybe I was reading into it to much, but it pissed me off regardless.

I am still trying to figure out the purpose of that article. It sounds like the guy in the article quit his job before deployment. If your in the guard you know all about these issues. Like you said if you quit your job to deploy, your just a dumb ass. The hardest thing about this last deployment has been registering for school. You get a deployment date, you don't sign up for that semester, and then the deployment date gets pushed back several time. You could've taken that this semester after all. That happened to about a quarter of the people in the Company. They lost out on a year of classes they could have taken. They are going to bitch about it, but they aren't going to run to a reporter and cry about it.

Same thing about jobs applies to the college, if you get the college, scholarship and loan lenders a copy of your orders, you have no issues returning to school when you get back.

All this stuff is drilled into your head as a soldier. You get tired of hearing about it. I get weekly emails from a military officer and job leads. Including jobs that pay full salary while you are deployed. The lack of information has not been there. Some people just have to have something to bitch about.

The other thing that has happened are the soldiers that had no job before deployment. They were relying on this deployment as a full time job. There were a LOT of soldiers in the position.

Beretta 92FS/M9 is a hell of a 9mm too. Some military appeal, great feel to it, and shoots like a champ.

I don't know a Solider that likes the M9.

I about ready to trade my Glock 21 for a 9mm compact or subcompact myself.

Roach,

I have a question. Are they going to operate to fix that disc and tear ?

I'm not trying to drag this on, but discs don't heal by themselves, they need surgery to fix, trust me.

I have had 2 disc surgeries in my life, without that kind of repair, you will not heal.

I really hope the military doesn't drag you through therapy, it is useless for a damaged disc.

Good luck, and request surgery if possible.

Ride safe all, and please, ATGATT.

Yes, they are trying not to have surgery, but it's not off the table yet.

A jesus man! Sorry to hear that (I think, I know I would really like to have that oppurtunity again). That is a tough injury! any expected time they think your going to be down or are you done? as in parmentaly non-deployable?

Orthopedic Specialist say three to six months. I'm still waiting to hear from the Army on what they consider me.

As most of you know I started Mobilization training to go to Afghanistan several months ago. I'm back at home with what I hope is only a minor spinal injury. I have a herniated and torn disc in my lower spine. I've been told it will take three to six months to recover. I'm now considered medically non-deployable. The rest of my Company arrived in Afghanistan about a week ago.

I broke my phone while I was down there, but I managed to get a few pics during my time at Camp Shelby, MS.

Small Pox Vaccine

The only thing OWS has accomplished is reaffirming my hatred for Apple.

I have one with four keepers also. I haven't thought about selling my gear yet. But now you brought it to my mind. You are talking about a snap buckle and not button snaps right?

Yeah, count me in too. I can barely get out of the house cause of my injury.

I have two for my Glock 21.

That doesn't explain green eyes.

I sold mine on the very cheap earlier this year. Sorry. On another note, is see more and more standard Mossberg 500's being put to use now.

abstaining from voting isn't some kind of social protest against "the man," it's simply the best way to insure that no politician will ever give a shit about your opinion.

Everyone should vote. Go pick up your ballot card, and turn it in blank if you want. Just be part of the voting population so that your demographic has a voice.

I refrained from voting on certain elections where I didn't know any of the candidates, but I voted for my city council ward election, issues one through three.

This. You can live sections blank. And vote for the stuff you do care about.

The Ride of a Classic Bike? As an owner of a 70 CB750, the ride kinda sucks.

I still love my bike though, but I am saving up for a newer FI sport bike.

What size box and oven?

Thank you to all the Patriot Guard Riders, and specifically to the ones escorting Bravo Co. 1-148th INF RGT yesterday.

Says they are still testing and

We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.

I still can't get on to google+

Never heard of that before. good to know

If it attaches to the rifle or your load carrier, tie it down. Last thing an underpaid soldier wants is to pay for a laser left behind on the battlefield.
