| Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

Thanks so much for the info and photos, Snippy.
I tend to be like that too, alone I do things I'd never consider with someone else in the car, unless I'm really really PO'd.
The duo's success, already on the wane a bit, was tragically cut short by Jan Berry's near-fatal auto accident in April1966, which had been eerily foreshadowed by the lyrics of "Dead Man's Curve." April 12, 1966 on Whittier Drive in Beverly Hills, Berry pulled out to pass a slow-moving vehicle and slammed full-speed into a truck that was unexpectedly parked at the curb.
The Karma Korvette will turn the lawyer into a vegetable.
His clients will have to put on the Frank Zappa classic, "Call Any Vegetable" to reach him.
You will have the last laugh--caffiene reflexes beat the three-martini/four-toot lunch every time.
That's what I heard, and big guns too! LOL.

Mk 6 swimmer-defense dolphins are deployed to the Arabian Gulf to provide force protection for Navy ships, piers and other high-value assets.

Navy 'anti-swimmer' dolphins ready to defend ships, piers in Arabian Gulf
MANAMA, Bahrain -- With terrorist attacks like that against USS Cole in October 2000 still a very real possibility, the U.S. Navy has a new ally in the global war on terrorism – the Mk 6 anti-swimmer dolphin system.
Much more than your typical Sea World entertainers, these dolphins are dedicated Navy sailors, standing watch over Arabian Gulf ports and deterring uninvited guests seeking to harm ships and ports. With swimmer-defense experience dating back to Vietnam, the Navy’s Mk 6 dolphins are ready to deploy anytime, anywhere.
“It is reassuring to know that we can put our anti-swimmer dolphins where we need them rapidly and successfully in order to protect our sailors, ships and high-value assets,” said Lt. Cmdr. Martin Anderson, of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command’s Special Operations Branch.
