Hello all, 10pm (no, I'm not dragging up that old thing) just finishing up with inventories and such, but I always like to make a stop at the USO or MWR tents to get online and see what's going on in the real world. I also will grab a few letters addressed to service members and read through them, many tug at the 'ol heartstrings, btw.

Today though (instead of mostly lurking in on you all) I had to share one of these letters. It's from Johnny, unknown age/location, who wrote a school letter addressed to "an american solider"


"Dear American Solider, Happy Hollidays.
P.S. - Keep your eye on the target and your powder dry."


I think its one of the best I've read in a while and it made me laugh, and still does when I read it. I saved it and put it on my wall locker.

Anyway, I now return you to your regularly scheduled whatever

chiefbowe82 (aka KC_CHIEFS_06). He was temp banned last night for bumping a bunch of old threads. Given that he tried to come back while under a temp ban, he's now perma-banned.

Shoot me a PM next time you're on with JR's cell number.

And did she decide to get a new computer?

That stuff is drilled into all our heads, and it never seems to go away does it. but I'm cutting the kid a break, judging from his penmanship and pictures, I'd say he's either 8-12 years old, or a jarhead...

BTW- I got an aimpoint and a lazer sighting system, several in the squad have ACOGs, the military has changed since I got out the first time.....

I do have the pictures, I don't have a computer with internet that I can put my flash drive in except that one buddy's in the neighboring tent. It's certainly on my list and with tomorrow and the next day being maintainance days, I should get it done. If I have problems posting them directly I'm emailing them to OTWP so he can do it.

The instant snow sounds classic, I'll be sure to get pics of that too, should be fun....

"Keep your powder dry" was an expression that was already passe when WWI's armistice was signed. I'd estimate CC's letter-writer to be 107 yrs old...

Of course. But at least I've just pointed out that I'm intellectually superior to an 8 year old. Makes me feel a lot better about myself that way.

Stay safe! Good story.

Thought I might share with you a recipe I received this morning from Demonpenz

Hey did you see my BBQ recipee?
<hr style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> Hey duke, can I call you duke? Anyway I thought you needed a recipe to get your ass kicked. So here it is

one dash of indian rugburn
two dashes of eye pokes with my dirty fingers
three pinches of your back fat,
and 5 dashes of me taking a cookie cutter and pressing them so hard on your bicept it leaves an imprint of the Christmas tree cookies I baked last week. Sound good? I am sure you will need to bring napkins and serve with a nice small health insurance deductible. so come on down to DEMONPENZ house of ASS WHIP. ASSWHIPPING DAILY 7 days a week 365 days a year (not open holidays or sundays)


Thought it might come in handy over there, if you can find the ingredients.


Take care, and thanks.

I guess I missed the whole thing about CC going over there.

I think keeping your powder dry goes back to the civil war doesn't it?

Take care of yourself CC, thanks for doing what you are doing. :thumb:

I just want to say how grateful I am to be your friend. I try to hang around people who are smarter than 8 year olds... and you sir, qualify... barely. But, you qualify. that=win. :-)

Well, just surfing around online for a bit, going to call my girl and do a phone count down for the new year. I'm 9 hours ahead of the missouri land, so got about 35 minutes to go.

Anywho, thanks for the well wishes, and happy new years to you all tonight, be safe on the roads, no drinking and driving, hug all your family/friends, and if I may be so bold to ask for a second kiss, from whomever you kiss at midnight, just for me.

giggity giggity...
