Welcome to the site, careful though it can be very addictive.

L.E._YFZ_2005, I was out there from 2 - 4:30. I was on my red banshee & my son was on his Dinli 90 white / blue.  I remember your yfz yesterday. If it's the one in your sig. My first time there yesterday and looking foward to going back. It's alot closer than Croom.   My sons atv had a problem that's why we left early. Maybe we can meet up out there.

Title: Re: just staying in touch with the real world
Post by: cubnfrank on April 18, 2005, 07:53:46 PM
I think thats it. East of Little road about 1 mile. I live in Holiday and don't know that area well.

Post by: MadMudder on April 18, 2005, 08:02:21 PM
SHOOT ONE FOR ME ;D  Hope you get home soon. I don't know why yall are over there. We have tried to help all them middle east countries in the past and they just keep finding reasons to fight. I say that we should let them fight agmonst themselves. Iraq was a different case though, they needed a government switch. But this is the first time that we have done this for them correct?  If they go back to a dictatorship in about 15 years or so then let them do that. Just becasue all the leaders need an anger management class doesn't mean that we have to have our soliders getting shot and blown up by suicide bombers. Still, we are over there and nobody realy cares what a 13 year old kid thinks.

Post by: devildog55 on April 19, 2005, 06:51:57 PM
hey man wich ever you do make sure you sign a contract with the mos you want. i wanted to be a grunt, but they had no grunt contracts open because there was a over flow of infantry after 9/11, so i when open contract cause my recruiter said "all open contract gets infantry" now i work in a freakin warehouse. so make sure you sign for the job you want. the recruiter will tell you what you want to hear.


Title: Re: just staying in touch with the real world
Post by: Kawa3 on April 19, 2005, 06:53:30 PM
arent all marines open for infantry?


Title: Re: just staying in touch with the real world
Post by: devildog55 on April 19, 2005, 06:57:56 PM
recons pretty tough to get in too but it worth it. yu gotta have a pefict pft:100 crunches in 2 min 20 pullups and 3 miles in under 19 mins. and thats just to get started with the pre recs for training. and if your color blind dont even think about your out. thats what happen to me.


Title: Re: just staying in touch with the real world
Post by: devildog55 on April 19, 2005, 07:01:53 PM
every Marine is a rifle man. at time of war all of us can be agumented into a infantry unit. but normally we have normal jobs like motort supply and admin.  they still give us diff oppertunitys to do diff kinds of training,but infantry is infanty all the time thats all the do, train and kill

Post by: Moose on April 25, 2005, 04:10:45 AM
Hey devildog55,
I use the paint program, it's on almost every PC. Open paint, on the top click open, file, then look where you have the pics at and click on one to open it. Then click on image, stretch/skew, in the top boxs put 40% or 50% to reduce size. Then click on save as, and add a letter or number at the end of the name to change it. That way you still have the original and a smaller one to use. Try different %'s to get the size you want, as close to 75k without going over. I usually go with 74k, or about. It's very easy after you have done it just a few times.

Keep the pics comming, they're great.

Good luck over there.

Post by: jjamesbar on April 25, 2005, 04:36:24 AM
everyone back here is proud of you guys. keep sending pics and stay in touch. when i use paint to reduce the pics sometimes i have to reduce to 25% to make it fit. keep working with it and you'll get it.

I've also heard about another asian delicacy that's freaky.  They take the poison sack of a cobra (i think) and cut it out and swallow it whole.  It's supposed to explode in your stomach and make you hallucinate.  It's some kind of wedding treat for the guys.  I don't know about some of these things.  They're a little to weird for me.

cool pics bro.
I asked about that saliva because a guy I know got a little vile of the stuff from someone that had come back from Japan as a gag gift. It was real though. They have some weird fetishes over there I think. I personally prefer young dog spinal fluid. Sweet.
