This may be my first post but the above isn't all that great a post journey.  Why antagonize like that?  Maybe i'm just on leave and drunk at 4:00 am, whatever.

Ah, yes, the drunk poster.  (But Journeyman and Jim Seggie are good friends, as you can tell by other posts made on Milnet).  Enjoy your leave, which I guess is a manly thing to do!


As for me, I rescued my daughter and her friends from the mall last night.  It was raining and they were stranded. SuperDad to the rescue, and they didn't even need to telephone to ask.  That's right, I'm pretty awesome ;D

Yesterday I hiked 2,200 vertical feet (give or take) to a precipitous view point at the top a serious cliff and while teetering on the edge, facing outwards, taking in the view of all the wonders in the valleys and oceans beneath my feet, urinated .... standing up.

Wow.    ;D

Today I woke up at 1pm feeling the effects of last night. It is now just after 2pm and I am preparing breakfast on the BBQ: Steak, with a side of steak.

Last week I proposed to my girlfriend, who is smarter, more educated, and makes more money than me (she's a doctor).

Today, I did 100 regular pushups, 100 pushups with a 25lb pack on (...in sets of 20), 240 jumping lunges ( :blotto: ), ran 5km with 100m sprinting intervals, and grew about a centimeter worth of beard.

But the first part totally took way more cajones.
Plan B is just to keep on givin' er

A real man would have just taken it to cothing stores - why fix it when you can just get a new one?  ;D

Because I have a jump ruck frame and I'm never giving it up.  I only replaced the string at the top to hold the pouch on that had finally busted after 14 years and three deployments........  Screw 550 cord, which we can't get because we're not an "operational" unit.   ::)
