Once again there I was riding down the road actually I was stationary and then the road erupts in fire and steel. You know what I'm just slightly tired of those damned things! And once again I roll on down the troop clinic the next morning because after that you really dont feel like doing much. And its hey hows my ears look? And they knew it! "It won't affect your scuba diving." All right we got someone in the IZ! We could start up some kind of third world faction of SD. And thats why they call dustoff "the ride of your life."


And I just want to throw it out there, why are we giving these people tanks? Half of them can't read.

PS: Anyone want to support the troops and send me your Red Sox tickets? Actually its not for all the troops just this one. I know theres a season ticket holder out there with some badass seats that theyre not using, Send me your tickets and I will spraypaint your business name on something out here think of it like a once in 10 years advertising oppritunity!

We're giving them tanks???!!?? Do even they have drivers licenses? Of course not.

Don't let one of those guys run over you fella. Wouldn't even be a grease spot.

In all seriousness, take care, keep your head down, and come back here so we can go diving. If I had Red Sox tickets, they would be yours.

We need you back diving with us, so ALWAYS keep your head down. While you can't worry about the one with your name on it, you must know that a whole s*** pot of them are labeled "To whom it may concern"....

I personally don't have some but may have access to some, when you are back home drop me an email and I'll see what I can come up with. Until then, thank you, :twist: and do keep your head down!!

If you think the tanks are bad you should see them fly their choppers...or the IP's driving around in their technicals. Funny.

I still think it's funny how they like to paint their flag on everything.

Dom,

So far so good with our Red Sox but we are almost too afraid to get too excited as it is still so early. Regardless, they are looking very good so far and Dice-K appears to be the real deal. I don't have a hook-up for tix but I have heard that the Newport MWR has tix for folks coming back from Iraq. It will definitely be worth checking out upon your return.

Folks are also pumped up for the Pats as they have added on to help Brady considerably. Now if only the Celtics can get Oden or Durant out of this draft........

Went diving today with Mike (Going_Postal) at Fort Wetherill and water is now up to 50 degrees! And yes, the cherry stones were delicious. Saw some flounders and baby lobsters out as well.

Keep your head down and hurry back!

Oh I already one upped you there, I Asked Pat Kennedy for Sox tickets his guys are going to hook it up. Wow fifty degrees for the love of god thats cold. yeah I was thinking about doing castle hill when I get back, I was told theres some monster blackfish out there. I want to try to grab one for my dad. You know anything about it? August work for you?

Oh and hipshot see you have to understand when you're a Sox fan you celebrate every minute you can, because you never know when its going to take a sudden downhill turn, you know like a corkscrew.

Hmmm good to hear that he is good for something! Just don't offer him a drink as he has a tendancy to "forget".

Ah how soon you forget, 50 is a big time improvement! By August it should be close to sixty. Castle Hill is one of my favorite sites but you need to play the tides right and have to go diving when the restaurant is closed. I prefer to night dive there. And yes there are blackfish (tautog) as well as good size lobsters. It is a tricky dive but also one of the prettiest in RI.

Oh and hipshot see you have to understand when you're a Sox fan you celebrate every minute you can, because you never know when its going to take a sudden downhill turn, you know like a corkscrew.

We're playing the Yankees for the next 3 days beginning tonight and we need to drop the hammer down NOW! We are still on pins and needles as our luck has been too good as of late. Becker is out for a couple of weeks so for the first two games we are using lousy pitching but Schilling vs Petite is set for the third game of the series.

That's not a tank! I've got PFC's under me in my Cav unit that hand carry enough firepower to make that into a barbed wire fence! :cheerleader:

In fact, I'll go anywhere with my Cav unit. Those guys are crazy! :cheerleader:
