Hey, the stats sheet didn't say how many bicyclespankentruppen the C-17 can carry??

Military Prayer Request

I have a co-worker who's son is with the 3rd of the 7th Marines in Iraq.
She's quite worried because another company of this unit has had casualties over Easter weekend in the area they're working.

I'd like to ask that everyone add the 3/7th Marines to their prayer list.

Thanks!

Morning PE. We've come a long way from the old C-47.

[SAMWolf]

I'm starting to really look forward to seeing your NASA photos every day. :-)

[SAMWolf]

That and the scene with Johnathan Winters and the "Chunky" guy wrecking the gas station. The movie is dated but still one worth seeing again and again.

[SAMWolf]

My guess is "a whole lot". :-)

[SAMWolf]

Consider it done, Johnny.

[snippy_about_it]

Yep, I'm of the opinion there should have been no cease fire.

[snippy_about_it]

Done. Thanks Johnny.

Well let's see, it can carry 102 paratroops so since my bicycles fold up, hmmm. I'd say we can carry at least a company. Maybe a little less as soon as archy fits the bicycles with 88's. :-)

My son is really enjoying the Foxhole! He asks me every morning whether he can go read his history lesson ... or does he have to do math or something first? He doesn't understand everything, but the pictures are a big help. Over time, more of it will make sense to him, and I'm sure some of what he reads will stick with him for life.

(Billy, more airplane pictures on yesterday's topic. Click on the numbers - 71 of 80, or whatever) and then scroll up!)

The gas station scene is hilarious! Arnold Stang (Ray) has the funniest voice. And Jonathan Winters is in a class by himself.

I'm thinking of a plan to use your spankentruppen. Suppose they show up in Najaf, burkha-free, and announce to the "martyrs" that their virgins have arrived. Have them stack arms and follow the spankentruppen out of town to "paradise." Then we walk right in and arrest the Black Rag himself.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks Tax-chick. I'm glad Billy is enjoying the threads. We think the pictures help too.

[snippy_about_it]

Perfect, but Sam and I prefer we kill the Black rag rather than arrest him. I just knew the ladies would be helpful.

Of course my spankentruppen are the guys, they can do the killing in town. The girls (recruited by almost all the men at the Foxhole) can lure the "martyrs" out and send them to paradise. Excellent tactics ct, you'd make a good leader. :-)

He asks me every morning whether he can go read his history lesson

That just made my day. Thanks Carolinascout.

If you like planes keep an eye on Johnny Gage's and Aeronaut's posts. Professional Engineer covers the NASA equipment for us and aomagrat is our resident ship person.

Archy and Iris7 are great on armored vehicles.

[Tax-chick]

Bill likes tanks, too :-). Our second son (Tom - 7) doesn't quite have the reading comprehension skills for this, yet, but probably in a year I'll have to get him a screen name so he can read, too! You're never too young to appreciate the United States military!

[SAMWolf]

You're never too young to appreciate the United States military!

You have that right. Nice to see the young ones being taught who paid for their Freedom.

[SAMWolf]

Arnold Stang

Thanks CT, I couldn't recall his name.
