I thought Bloodsport was awesome, personally.

2533. Radio-Telegraph Operator. I believe I was in the very last class in which Marines were taught Morse Code. Never used it once, the entire time I served.

Thank you. Our current President apparently shares your opinion. Google it, if you harbor any doubts.

Yes, I graduated from Jump School at Fort Benning, and made a number of jumps afterwards, including one at Ranger School. I went through pre-Scuba at Camp Pendleton, but didn't go on to the actual Scuba School because I discovered that my ear drums can't handle the pressure of more than one atmosphere. And we had to be able to go down to three atmospheres.

Have I answered enough questions? I usually get paid to do this much writing
Remember, pink font for sarcasm, not a wink emoji.... how are you going to get paid when you don’t speak the language?


Besides, cut and paste of a bio.....isn’t writing. What you wrote in your last post is what SHOULD have been in your bio.

Revisiting the Clinton/Bush/Perot debacle. I could not stand either Clinton or Bush, King George I or II for that matter. All that said, King George I did not campaign with much vigor and seemed to be bored most of the time. He actually looked at his watch during one of the debates with Clinton as if to say, "How much longer is this bullshit going to go on?" King George I always struck me as a whiny elitist. Since his defeat in '92, he has proven me right. For example, acting as an apologist for Dear Leader O'Bumbles. If he had his way, Crown Prince Jeb would have been forced on this country as the '16 GOP nominee. We all know how that would have turned out; a 52-48% vote split with Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Crime Cartel allowed to raid the national treasury once again.
