Viet Nam vet here  (1966-1967) so I too want to thank the military guys especially those in harms way,

Let me be the first to say thank you for providing the path for us "NEWBIES"...(oopps..I did it again..)

It means alot more when you find out a little more about the individuals you chat with on a daily basis.....it puts more things in perspective other than just talking about cards and baseball all the damn time......

Let me just say this...I hope you are still in good health and not too mention...........MAN....your LUCKY!! Use that SS to buy some cool cards uh?.........nice to meet ya by the way

Are you setting me up here or something? ...lol..cool job, that would be something I would like to do!

I'm in Alaska right now.....My family and I (2 girls 7 & 6, and my son 4) live on the Air Force Base....It's pretty much connected with the Post. I actually live 4.2 miles from work. In the summer time I usually run to and from work or bust out the ol' TREK Mountain bike.

It's beautiful here, it just doesn't last long enough...maybe a good 3 months of warm weather....

damnnnnn, i knew i should of went to college when i had the chance...

Hey bro...there is no shame to any job title at all. I used to do alot of diferent things before I landed in the Army.....and yes, I did the waiter thing too as a partime gig, and I must say.....the tips were pretty good!

I actually have a part time job on the weekends...I work at the commisary, bagging groceries on the weekends and I average anywhere from 20-30 dollars an hour....I'll do about 4 or 5 hours and take home about 100 bucks...just some extra cash when needed so I can continue collecting the hooby I love the most....
