FWIW, some of us appreciate this resource, and the opportunity to use it, very much Sirs. 
For all of the information you guys provide, and the opportunity to ask the specific questions (post-research of course)... You have my thanks.

XXXX - I don't mind answering questions. I actually enjoy "pontificating." Sometimes I can even contribute something of value to the discussion. I do mind letting myself get suckered into responding to a mindless query that the poster could have answered himself with a little personal initiative, some basic research, and a minimal application of common sense. I am as annoyed at myself for the wasted time/effort as I am at the poster. I don't have the thousands of posts some of the more prolific members do but I am looking at adopting some of their attitude where it comes to stupidity and laziness. As I understand it, the primary intent of this board is to encourage and nurture the individuals who have the ability and desire to become the next generation of Special Forces Soldier. I wholeheartedly support those goals. Mindless queries, a lack of personal initiative, and failure to use basic research skills or common sense are indicators of undesireable character traits that are not indicative of future success in Special Forces. If I can contribute something to the future of SF with a little chlorine and cleaning the filters when my turn comes around to do pool maintenance then I will do my duty as best I can. End Rant - Now we return you to your previous thread! Peregrino
