Rick, Agreed, we do not have to sling shit at each other, or anyone else. I love a good discussion, but if attacked, am quick to retaliate.

The timing was not of my choice. I started training in the military in 1953, and for some strange reason, liked it. Being in a combat engineer company was more fun than just being a regular dog-face. Not only did we blow things up, build new ones, act as infantry if necessary, but I got me a tank when I made SFC. Talk about joy rides!! It may sound strange, but I regretted missing a war. I was trained, and wanted to use that training, but having 2 young kids, put me on the no-go list, unless I abandoned them on my own. I couldn't do that because their mom was a bit nutty.

That good ole Mason-Dixon line. I started off in Texas, and moved to Florida in, early, 2001. Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas is a good ole Texas Aggie!!
