this weeks "navy times" came out. it had the usual articles in it. one very touching one about the last carrier operations of the f-14s. then.....

Post 52 is the single best example EVER of why capitalization is important.

I am totally stealing it.

I bet that drinking is much heaver in the college student demographic than it is in the military demographic of the same age.

BTW, there is nothing wrong with using the "Shift" key when appropriate... certainly makes for easier reading...

He obviously does not care about communicating with the reader. It's the liberal mentality.

[stands2reason]

it's great to know i have found the keepers of the blog world!

You couldn't be more wrong. This is not a blog.

i know it's really nice when everyone agrees, but it's also boring!!

We don't all agree here. And it's not boring to read posts that are grammatically correct.

[OneWingedShark]

That's OK, I think I read it on Bash.org...
It's just too great an example NOT to spread.

[Rain-maker]

Less structure and discipline on campus, I suppose so.

Imagine trying to win a war with Berkeley students.

Studies already proved that smoking and drinking is a major problem and an increasing liability for the military. I suggest you write the DOD that 18-21 years olds should have a right to chemically altered realities. Then post the response at Free Republic.

You remind me of my late aunt. She called the cops on her husband for smoking a cigarette. Despite the evils of tobacco {he quit smoking upon retirement} he managed to go from E-1 to LTCDR in rank and Captained a Gator Freighter as well. I'm certain he managed a drink or two along the way as well. But he joinned up for WW2 and got out in 1969.

Now as for the stress? Look at over deployments. What has congress or Rummy done about that? That kills more men by mistakes due to combat fatugue but you don't hear about a study on it. Let me tell you something about such things. When those ships deploy the line to see the JAG is as long as the pay line when the first mail call hits for divorce papers. should Rummy prohibit marriage as well?

The report you showed is Horse Hillary. One's lungs are not damaged to the point of pnuemonia by recently taking up smoking. They were in a third world nation for Pete sake.

Wow...Fleet Marine Force. I'm duly impressed. You ran with a pretty elite crowd.

Fair winds and following seas to your brave family; they're now included in our prayers.

> Imagine trying to win a war with Berkeley students.

Hmmmm.... If I could get my ROTC to sign up for that... ;)

[OneWingedShark]

Oh, wait, you meant USING Berkley students, not AGAINST Berkley students...

[humblegunner]

I think he jacked off a horse.

There is a very good reason why I never drink tequila, you know.

[humblegunner]

i(I) see you can't read either. (B)both my boys and my husband are in.

(T)this isn't a game of who has more to lose. (W)we all have a lot to lose if we dumb down our training.

Write in proper English damn you!

This isn't kindergarten, please post like an adult.

Notice how they come out when we are working...This troll is a true Democrat, unemployed and wants to be taken seriously. Must've of been a McKinney volunteer.

[Cobra64]

i think people here take themselves a bit to seriously

We do not take ourselves two seriously.

Series, since your schoold never taught you how to compose a readable message, it appears also that you would have difficulty in passing this grammar test.

Oh, arrogant one, you are going to pay for that little comment. If you have learned nothing around here, you should still have realized that there is a vast wealth of knowledge and experience resident in this forum that far surpasses your own pitiful existence.

A little respect will carry you far in these parts, Junior. You have to show it if you expect to also receive it.

Agreed. There's another twerp around her that says our generation have caused all of today's ills. These kids are barely potty trained, and yet they think they're experts on everthing under the sun. The sad part is, they fail to listen to those of us who've made mistakes. They insist on repeating them, bceause they know it all.

[Rain-maker]

You remind me how an addict talks. Lots of excuses to hold onto and condone chemical crutches.

That's all there are too is excuses.

[stands2reason]

I'm not getting the "long-time lurker" vibe from this one.

For one, the PIQ called this place a "blog".

Secondly she's apparently been too busy playing with vanity bloggers who have the same 26 members (which consist of the other "bloggers" they link to) to notice our little operation here. :-)

[stands2reason]

this is only one way to stir people up. it seems to work.

Trolling is Effective, or Nobody would do it.

[stands2reason]

The purpose of language is communication.

To fail to effectively communicate your point will result in your point being obscured.

It is not the fault of the average receiver to fail to receive a poorly communicated message. It is the fault of the communicator.

To purposefully obfuscate your message with your "style" is a childish affectation for the purpose of aggrandizing yourself.

In other words, cutesy writing "styles" are "ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

[stands2reason]

If you can't make your point without paragraph after paragraph of explanation, you don't know how to write. Period.
