Have to goi speak to the local Army recruiter today.
Seems someone turned in my name as a possible recruiting lead, and I gotta go find out why and how.
He's as mystified as I am, and besides- if any good can come about from my experiences in uniform, then I've done my part and someone else will have a better time in service.
So around noon or so my time, I'll be at the local recruiting station going over some stuff.

Using M.R.I.'s to See Politics on the Brain

"I was shocked at how much political capital Bush is trying to make out of 9/11," Mr. Graham said. "But I found it kind of interesting that Johnson was using the same kind of technique against a Republican."

What these reporters fail to bring into view.

That this trangle of rebles is really only a fraction of the whole nation like 1/6!

But why be honest when this story can sabatage the efforts of Bush group!

[Pippin]

Good going!

Hope you do join up

But I also hope you don't get sent to Iraq,but if you do, Be safe!

Had already served once.
I'm now 28, and my knees are shot.
(Makes it unlikely, and somewhat stupid, for me to re-enlist. Various other small things to consider in there as well.)

But, either way, I get to find out what happened that my name was forwarded as a recruitment lead.
There's 3 Sarah K's in the area, so my poor sis has the 'fun' of being told that she's already been to the doc's office when she goes for an appointment. She gets so mad about it. Of course, at least she isn't getting love letters from 40 year old adulterous wives like my brother was. There was another Kevin Lee who lived near us, and he & my brother used to get each other's mail once in awhile.
My brother, 15 at the time (mid 1980's) got a letter from a woman who was oozing platitudes about 'last night' and 'please don't tell my husband' and how he was just the greatest man in the world.
Needless to say, he was mystified by the whole letter and looked around for Alan Funt.
Finally he checked the address itself, not the name, and saw that it belonged to the OTHER Kevin Lee.
My brother's final response, "Who is this woman, and where does she live?"
*snort*
In all likelyhood, there's yet another Brent running around teh world at large here, and he and I are beginning to get 'mixed up'.
I've been getting invitations ot the prom, and tux rental info lately.
Stuff headered with "Dear Graduating High School Senior"....

Laboratory tests on the poison gas smuggled from Syria into Jordan by al Qaeda terrorists earlier this month could determine whether their weapons came from Iraq, intelligence expert John Loftus said Monday.

"What they captured was a poison gas that consisted of several chemicals to be mixed together," Loftus told nationally syndicated radio host John Batchelor. "This has to be a poison gas of what they call the G-series; Sarin, Somin, Taubin and VX."

The terrorism expert noted that, "VX is the only kind of nerve gas where the chemicals could be safely mixed together in the field."

On Saturday, Jordanian officials announced that they had seized WMD components from the cars of the al Qaeda terror plotters, which had been intercepted just 75 miles from the Syrian border. Experts said that had the WMD plot succeeded, it could have killed 20,000.

Jordan's King Abdullah confirmed that the al Qaeda vehicles had come from Syria,

Noted Loftus:

"Syria dopes not make VX nerve gas - only Saddam Hussein did. So it looks as if now that Israeli intelligence and British intelligence were right - that Syria did indeed get a hold of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction just before the war."

Loftus said lab tests of the al Qaeda weapons would be key to establishing a link between the WMDs found in Jordan and Saddam's missing stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.

Interesting.
I expect the press to be VERY quiet about this.
Not good for their agenda.

[null and void]

But, tell the truth, do you think I should roll my eyes when they show me pics of their grandchild....as they have done to me?

Well... Not the first hundred times...

Small gene pool?

Only 3 last names in the local phone book??

Does your family tree look like a telephone pole???

[lodwick]

Good evening, over there.

[lodwick]

Good luck with the identity snafu - bizarre.

Nice choo-choo's. I like the way you signed your contact information: it looks like a metal casting.

Kerry Snub: Heinz Executives Supporting Republicans, Bush.....

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Umm.. no.
Actually, it's a rather chaotic mish mash of vikings in the barn and other assorted sordid tales.
(Or was my family the vikings in the barn, never could get that straight..)

But there's Keller's here that aren't related to my family.
Weird.
Really, really, really weird.

Evidently it appears that someone from my old unit thought they were doing me a favor.
The info was mostly right, except that they had me as having been born in 1978August28, and currently attending college.
(Name, e-mail addy, and mailing address was correct. Just as it was in my old service folder at the armory. The date of birth didn't appear on most of my paperwork with the e-addy and such on it, for that they would have had to rifle through the folder a bit harder.)
But, the attending college thing would be abit of an odd error.
I'd applied for Montgomery GI bill assistance for college, but never heard back from anyone about it.
My folder would show that I'd at least applied.
Which would make someone assume I was currently in college.

Curiouser and curiouser.
Wonder who I'm going to hear from in a few days?
