I was just about to edit that into a friendly suggestion to use the sports discussion forum. I'll crank out some pushups.

You are not SF, nor are you a staff member of Professionalsoldiers.com.
The next time a Quiet Professional or staff member has an issue with you you're gone.
There is a outstanding paratrooper bulletin board located at;
http://www.paratrooper.net/ where you might feel right at home.

I don't want to see a post from you for two weeks.

When I hear names like Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson, Ingemar Johansson, Sonny Liston, Cassius Clay, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman it reminds me of a day before Pay Per View, Don King, and criminals posing as athletes ruining the Sweet Science.
The modern boxing world has lost its direction, and its fans, and is headed into the toilet of obscurity, unless someone steps up and rescues it.
That Sports Illustrated issue goes back to a day when boxing was king, and real men fought for the prize, with honor.

I couldn't agree more! We have lost the age of innocence!
Sonny Liston did however have a bit of a shady past.

Great find, on that Magazine.
Here's hoping that your buddy keeps that Magazine in the good condition it's in. Already that's got to be worth quit a bit. You should suggest to him to put it in a safty deposit box. Because that thing is only going to go up in price.

If that's not the truth right there. I remeber my Grandfathers staying home on Friday nights, just to watch the "Friday Night Fights".
It's a shame, what has happened to the sport.

Quiet Professionals and Honorable members of this site:
Please forgive me for posting in the wrong place. I did read the stickies, I did know where to post but I managed to screw this up. Operator Headspace was way off. I did not mean to cause anyone any drama. I assure you this will never happen again.
Again, I apologize I have absolutely no excuse as to why I screwed this up.
Sincerely,
R

Hey, F&I guy, don't panic, no problem.
I moved it to the right place.
Just turn your SA up and don't make the same mistake again.
Keep you feet and knees together and execute a dynamite Parachute Landing Fall.

Team Sergeant
not mince (your) words
to say what you mean clearly and directly, even if you upset people by doing this.

Thanks fellas. Sure would like to liberate that magazine though. That is a pretty cool heirloom. I knew the old man that died. The HH6 used to keep watch over him whenever he needed it over at the Nursing Home.
Tons O' Spunk and an Army Vet. The old man was never afraid to say what was on his mind. The only thing, was what was on his mind was often questionable.
I thought he was a cool guy. His son came in today to get some more boxes to pack up his apartment. He said he cleaned out the frig. It was loaded with all stuff he was not supposed to be eating: capers, cheese, anchovies, sardines, water crackers, gallons of Olive Oil, cheese cakes...
You get the picture. Hell, I should have gone to his house for lunch instead of the gut truck!
