USO Canteen FReeper Style Military Support Links

Armed Forces Careers

Army	Navy	Air Force	Marines	Coast Guard

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need by providing homes close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There are currently 31 houses located on the grounds of every major military medical center and several VA medical centers. These houses will play a critical role in caring for casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Donations will be used to help meet the cost of lodging for a family whose loved one was injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is a limit to the number of families who can stay in a Fisher House and program is committed to help provide lodging for families who must find commercial lodging, because the Fisher House is full.

Access the Wounded Heroes Guestbook to write a message of encouragement for a hero wounded in the line of duty.   Messages in the Wounded Heroes Guestbook are viewed by wounded soldiers, their loved ones, and the general public.

VetsCoR is pleased to present: a CD message of support from America to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen deployed in the Middle East, and other places around the globe, in the ongoing war on terrorism.

If you have a family member deployed, and would like to send them a copy of the CD, please click here. (VetsCoR will mail a copy of the CD FREE to any APO/FPO or military address.) If you want a copy of the CD and you are not a member of the Armed Forces, you may order a copy for $5.00 each. Click the VetsCor Logo for more information.

Share your thoughts, good wishes and messages with American troops deployed around the globe. In turn, we hope those in service will be able to view them on this site, and perhaps respond themselves. ADD A SERVICEPERSON: Please help make this tribute more complete by creating a page for your own friends and family who are currently deployed around the globe.

Hi MoJo.

[MoJo2001]

Are you stuck at work? Awww...you are? Bummer! Don't you wish you were on the beach doing absolutely nothing? Me too! I'm at work! All I can do is post this lousy rant before I can come and play!!

Troops, Canteeners, Visitors, Aliens, and Burka Man's "voices"! It's great to have you with us today!

Mocha Frappo anyone?

While I'm slaving away at work, think about things like this:

Do not ruin your day thinking about these below:

The French and slobbering smiley are to be ignored!
And if a strange guy with a Teddy Bear and burka come up and ask you to buy a burka, JUST SAY NO!

Oh! If you see my Ma, tell her I ran off with a sailor! That will brighten her day!

Have a great day everyone! See you later tonight! Don't forget the reason we are free and who provided it.

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

 

   "I did not imagine," sighed the dejected suitor, "that a woman could possibly be as particular as her mother is.  She is ultra, fanatically, absurdly proper."
  

"What's the matter now?"

   "She took pains to inform me this evening that she didn't even allow the pilot light on the gas boiler to go
 out without a chaperon."

PROGRAMMING CONSTRUCTS from My "Voices"

1. Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.

 2. Real programmers are those that can sleep in front of terminals with their eyes opened.

 3. Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5. If any real programmers are around at 9am it's because they were up all night.

 4. There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.

 5. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.

 6. A crash is when your competitor's program dies. When your program dies, it is an 'idiosyncrasy'. Frequently, crashes are followed with a message like 'ID 02'."ID' is an abbreviation for idiosyncrasy and the number that follows indicates how many more months of testing the product should have had.

 7. There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one works.

 8. As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications.

 9. Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

10. Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.
