Here as well.

Great write-up. Hopefully lots of people follow this advice.  Unfortunately many won't.  Bad things happen but don't volunteer for it.

Whatever you do, don't write "Logged" on the duty log under actions taken.  Hope you have an uneventful night.

Still praying here.

Those sleeves would make everything green. We used to dry off behind the tanks as we walked by.

Cook the egg on a rock heated in the fire as the potato cooks.  Then you don't lose any of it.

No Law ever prevented a crime.

Praying here.

Good luck.  it's a great feeling to get those orders.

That is great.  Hopefully you can get the aunt out to show her that guns aren't the problem.  Good luck.

Wilco.  You should see what I posted in the Gun Quote thread.

Won't be Darwin.

Looks great.

Like Nate said earlier, get it exercising and it'll be ok.  Just like a tank, helicopter or boat, they are made to work not sit.

You already know, it is a lot better to find out before using the pen.  There are plenty out there.  You'll find the one you are supposed to have in God's time.

I'm glad for ya'll.    It will be great.

Pair of handcuffs to the seat frame is what I do when I don't have any other way to secure mine.

It is pitiful that we as society glamorize celebrity.  The immorality that we allow ourselves to be subject to, no as a society, crave, is the foot on the accelerator to ruin and damnation.   The identification of this confused, misguided, mistaken, individual as a hero should shame us as a society and cause the nation to question our values.  If this society wasn’t founded on Christian values, as some now claim, why is it a crime to commit murder or steal? Why is it not a behavior to be tolerated?  Killing someone is against the 10 Commandments and defiantly violates what Jesus said was the most important commandment, "Love your Neighbor as yourself,"  but it is encouraged in the muslim holy book.  Homosexuals are to be killed according to that book.  Don’t forget about man love Thursday like Don pointed out.  That is ignored. Why am I required to tolerate them, (lbgt, muslim, ect), and their actions but my Christian values and opinions are not to be tolerated? 

Where is our national sense of Patriotism?  We are in the midst of Police bashing and harassment.  What about the firemen and other first responders?  These are the people that run to the sound of the guns in the civilian world.  I don’t think they should be worshiped rather respected.  That is courage.  That is love of country.  That is putting others first.  That is what heroes do.  That is what we are all called to do.  Love others as ourselves.

This sense of community, putting others first, even service, is lost on the majority of the population due to the breakdown of families and ever increasing selfishness.

I have had the honor of serving with some of America’s finest in some rough spots around the world.  I have served with heroes.  Both those awarded for courage under fire and those who weren’t. 

Heroes aren’t people who do what they are asked to do.  They are people who do the hard, right thing no matter the circumstances.  No matter who is watching.  They put others first.  No matter what.  No matter the cost.

I have and will continue to raise my sons and lead my wife as we seek to glorify God.  This nation needs God.  The silent majority needs to make noise.  Pray for our leaders, society as a whole and our neighbors.  All politics are local.  We can make a difference but the most important thing is to seek his will and be obedient. 

I am not any more qualified to call someone a national hero than the next guy but I know what a hero is and is not. 

And get a skillet of corn bread in the oven.

The all caps part is exactly how it happens.

This is a link the army mountaineering manual.  Some good chapters there for another reference.  Like Bobby said use your legs.  An instructor I had once at Sapper school told us arms are for balance and legs are for climbing.  Good footgear is important.  The harder the sole=less traction on the climb.

Sorry I am unable to kick in right now but I am glad to be a small, new part of a group that cares and shows love as we are all called to do.  The country and world could use more of it.  Thanks everyone.
