INFERNAL christened me Captain Obvious!  If you missed that you certainly don't have the qualifications for the job.

Brother Odd by Dean Koontz
"Never make your passion your occupation. it will loose it's luster and become work. that's why i never wanted to become a gynecologist!"

I also taught him how to put in 5min of hard work and then spend 15min staring and admiring what you have done...

I'm reading the EOs and GOs of the Dept, and my textbook right now.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

just started 'the lone survivor' last night...its a damn good book so far...and im kinda pissed off about it because im moving today so wont have much of a chance to get into it today.

if your into books and stories about the military, id say definetly get this book. its the story of the men who lost their lives and what happened during operation redwing in afghanistan a few years back.

Quote from: borders.com
The battle raged ten thousand feet up in Afghanistans Hindu Kush Mountains. Four US Navy SEALs in a fight to the death against 150 armed Taliban warriors. Despite wiping out half the Taliban force, it all ended as the worst day in the history of the SEALs: three of the four dead, eight more killed when the rescue helicopter was hit and destroyed by an Al Qaeda rocket grenade. Now, two years later, in the summer of 2007, hear the spellbinding, first-hand account by the SEAL who survived. It is a heartbreaking, yet inspiring story of heroism, courage, and sacrificewritten by the only man who lived to tell the tale.
Bring it!!!!!
