Embarrassing school stories, I could come up with a few, but most of them have lost their details in my memory. No, the only thing that sticks out in my mind with any significance is just how brain dead I acted on occasion in my crush toward Ranae Ward during my Sophomore and Junior year. Sheesh, did I have some real social progression to do over females in those days. I still can't convince my wife that I ever was ackward or foolish over a girl, so I guess I made some progress.
Dave: yeah the MRAPs are great, but they should have been deployed sooner. Most of my friends just shake their head over my loathing of politicians because of issues like this. I've had to many friends come home for close casket funerals. You folks want the REAL price of warfare and the price so many people pay. When many of us volunteer it is not just our lives we are putting on the line, it is the lives of our spouses and children we'll also destroy with our deaths. Watch a young wife scream herself hoarse over her husband's casket, which can't be open because the IED that killed him set his hummer ablazed and trapped him. You want to know what rage is, hear the screams of a dying man as he burns to death, and KNOW his wife will be shattered beyond recovery because of the loss. No, this world is dangerous and the wars are necessary, but those who forget the price some people pay need a firm beating.
Oh, and it's nice to be the communications troop, it's a wonder what you can do to get online when you are the one setting up all the communication networks.
