I was joking about people at Mackall knowing me. . .should have made that more obvious.
Look, I didn't realize that this board was so damn serious all of the time. Regardless of who you are or what your rank may be, I think everyone is capable of taking things with a grain of salt...especially on a forum on the NET. I have no stripes on my arm yet, and I haven't even been sworn in as a soldier in the Army (other than DEP), so give me a break. Christ, if everything on the internet is taken with this much bland "watch your mouth" negativity, I'm sure I'll have a field day keeping myself entertained WAY before you guys even get ahold of me. Hooray for that...

AztecSN95,
Your last post containing an apology has been read and noted however after reading your segment of the thread for the second time I feel compelled to respond for the sake of anyone else who may have an interest in how this forum works.
This website has nothing to do with watching your mouth and everything to do with engaging your brain. Anyone else posting here, read the front page of this website, these guys have more than earned the right to ask this simple thing. You will be repaid in ways you cannot count if you show this simple respect.
Any help and direction given by the Quiet Professionals is an act of generosity on their part. They do it to pass on knowledge to those who may be able to put it to good use.
One of the skills these men have learned over the years and in the most difficult manner possible is how to judge character and know who is worth spending time on and who isn't. They've seen this movie before and don't think you will succeed at playing them for chumps. This isn't a game and if it was they'd win, every time.
For those still reading this, do not piss off my friends which includes every QP who has answered AztecSN95 to date.
I'm just the knifemaker around here who grew up logging big timber in Oregon and working as a blacksmith afterwards because I wanted an easy job. Now all I do is hand shove steel and titanium in grinders.
About that size thing, If your under 250 lbs. I can grab your throat and lift you off your feet and squeeze your main airline until it collapses with one hand. If your over 250 lbs. I'm getting old and will have to use both hands to accomplish the same.
That said I wouldn't even begin to think about screwing with the Team Sergeant or any other QP no matter how lightly they tread upon the scales.
They are designed to win.
Pay close attention to what they have to say because it will only make you better..
Carry on.
