When I win the lottery Wednesday.....

Just wanted the SF guys to know when I win the Powerball on Wednesday I plan to purchase 5000-10000 acres in Montana and build maybe 20-30 cabins and a big house for hunting and fishing. If you're SF staying will be free to you and family. I plan to have an armory so you will not even need to bring guns, they will be supplied as will be fishing poles, boats, horses, ATV's etc. I also plan the same thing in Alaska.
I'll also be donating a very large amount to the GBF and the SFA.
FYI

And if thinks go South you'll have a community of retired SF guys as neighbors and all cabins will have fields of fire.

TS

Now that you've thrown down the gauntlet so to speak. Let's make it an SF current or retired pact amongst us that who ever should be the unbelievable enough fortunate one to hit "IT", that he or she (AFChic) will follow through with your plans. I'm all in.

Now that sounds like a plan. Your going to need a medic. I will be sure to pack plenty of muscle relaxers in the M5 for all the OFs

The first thing you do if you win is disconnect your phone/turn off your cell. The second thing you do is move into a hotel under an alias...

Great idea TS, what a wonderful gesture. I'm in. And I'll even buy a ticket every now and again.

Geez. I'm stuck holding down the southern border. Can I hope for an occasional Buffalo jerky re-supply?

Talking Things you should NOT say out-loud...

"If I win the lottery, I'm staying in Afghanistan and building this shit for half-the-price! And I'm going too fire a bunch of folks."

And I'm serious! I'll stay right here and kick-ass w/o the politics.

Stay safe.

I'll also volunteer to be the scout element on the raid of Turner's ranch to get PSM his buffalo for the jerky!
