Nice move Arkie - way to go !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Thanks. Being prior military myself, I always do what I can for our servicemen. I remember how bad it sucked being out in the gulf for months at a time.

Anyway, I just went through the sign up at paypal and they're saying I have to verify my account, so It'll probably be Monday before I can send the money.

I am with you on this Dice. My old Gunny was the stockiest big boned guy I ever meat and he could run a perfect PT every time in his late 30's. He was always at least 10 pounds over weight. The Navy in their archaic ways uses a tape measure system to determine body fat and they used this system to determine that he had 22% body fat?! He was almost kicked out. This warrior had a six pack! He went on his own to an Air Force facility where they use water and calibers for body fat testing like modern science does and he came out at 9% and our Unit was still arseholes to him. He is now a CWO-3 and has seen three combat tours and is still juking and jabbing, but every few years he gets f-ed with! Crazy days!

Welcome to the Yard

Zero - warrant is the way to go! If I would have stayed in, I would have dropped my flight packet.

I'll never understand the Army's obsession w/ "appearance." We all look fat in all of our gear anyways <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I understand the PT test - but not the appearance. And I don't think that the PT test is a great measure of fitness either - like Jason said - who do they want to carry the crew serve weapons? Guys that are flagged for weight and on remedial PT. Now how the H#ll does that make any sense? It seems to me that the 130lb 11:45 2 miler should be carrying it, doesn't it?

sorry, been away with some "personal issues".... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

(I'm going to start a thread w/ today's DF chopping pix - will be back shortly...)

welcome to the yard arkie. very pleased to meet you.

my friend, plenty of people are asking to get in on this late. the split has the knife paid for so i really wouldn't know what to do with your money. there are, however, six people who have yet to pay. if they don't come through before i submit the list of contributors to patti i'll post here and late comers can contribute and replace them on the list. i do not want those who haven't yet had a chance to pay as a threat, i'm still waiting for you, but you have a few more hours, maybe until tomorrow.

everyone, your money will do just as much good in the collection tray at church.

Geeze, talk about brainfart, I was out and about and a friend called and wanted to go see a movie @ 6pm. I'm about to agree and remember there is something I need to do at 6:30pm(Pacific) but can't quite remember. Then it hits me.

We're seeing the movie tomorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

If you were out with seven models, it would be easy to get distracted, Ted.

You got THAT right H/D !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah Ted, I can see forgetting things when in the company of those that I've seen your pictures of!

Glad you're here though brother!
