Hey, Glad to see More New Blood Joining or showing up as Guests ? What 300 AFFR Members & 150 use the Forum? ;D Stretch,I didn' t start traveling until I came East in '03. During the time,I was in California?? :DI was involved in Ships & Aircraft Programs? Yeah, I took business trips & went to visit my family-Stateside & Overseas? OK, W/my Home Base being Woodstock, GA-I use 'Delta', most of the time & on the West Coast,when 'Delta is not available; I will fly, 'United'! Have been going out a least once a month,over those past years Now I plan to take a couple months break? Will go back out the end of June. Traveling by Air is no fun?? Folks,I still have two that run in & out of harms way on a regular basis? All you can do is Support them,Love them & Pray for them & stay strong? :)Ask the Good Lord to protect them & you know they are trained? Those of you have seen my 'Rants' know I am a 'Conservative' & now an Independent,in most of my thinking? Make your ideas & views known & post right here? Semper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49

Sorry,most of my prior message answered Stretch & the 'New Guys ' to the Forum? Honest Answer-to early requests to a Poll & 'Who knows ,"What is going on?" Does anyone have an idea on what will happen to the Military? Cut money & something else happens? Soon the lowest new mony w/be a $ 1,000 dollar bill? No longer any change around? Will be interesting w/2k,5k,&10k bills? Ok, plus they will all be different sizes? Enough said,since our U. S Printing Office, does many other Nations' Cujrrency? Take Care-Semper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49 ;D

All, Here we are waiting for the 'North Koreans',to start a new front to WW III,by them either firing their missiles or run a 'Rust bucket vessel, loaded w/what Nuclear Stuff to be delivered to some rogue state ;D .Our 'destroyer' is shadowing it & could board if so ordered? The Third son of the 'Leader'will have to show when the 'War'will begin? It won't be long w/these nuts & who knows what will happen? :oAs you all know,this is only one spot on the map,where things can explode? :)Semper Fi-Marines-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49 P.S. The Chinese will have to get into the act?

All, With the 'Iranian Revolution-who knows where this will end up? Can this blow up quickly or will it die fast? This too can become another front in WW III-right next to our two nations we are now fighting in? :DSemper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49

All- We soon will be celebrating our National Holiday,-the 4th of July? :DOur corps is the United States Marine Corps, to which only 200K can serve? Above that all other personnel are classed as 'Reserve' & are "Activated ,when required? Hence, between WW II & now they are part of our overall fighting force? ;D Marine Air has grown since our 'War between the States'/Civil War--Expeditions to Haiti/Santa Domingo--WW I--then WW II in the Pacific & Caribbean--Chinese Civil War-- Korean War--Vietnam-All the Gulf Wars,including 'Iraq & Afghanistan. And ever since,WW II,we have had Aircraft Squadrons operating aboard Aircraft carriers,up through today? Our 234th Anniversary will come very soon--10th of November--2009! Since, 1775 we have changed to meet the needs of the Nation & the Corps:they will continue to grow & meet the required change? -Semper Fi- "The Crazy Old Man"--RichW/49

I am guessing there ought to be some more information out w/only 4 months to go? ::)Semper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49

I am still kicking and yes I am glad to have some change in government. And as for not serving what was George Bush? Air Guards at time when entry was difficult? But he got in and then didn't show half of the time? C student in college and it showed when he spoke.We gave the GOP 8 years to screw it up now we need to fix it and it won't be done overnight. Were are the ideas? Lot of bi$&chen no answers? As for country of origin the USA get off the conspiracy crap.
