Damn jarheads.
Woobies? Who has the time to slow down and huddle under a woobie? Fire and maneuver! Stick and move!

Greetings and regards to all. You run an interesting board here so I thought I would join after lurking a little while. I have been around the Army over the past 15 years and intend to be around a few more. Used to be an artilleryman but now I'm a foreign area officer working in DC. While not a QP, I have worked with you guys from time to time and a couple of my bosses along the way were QPs. That's it for now. See you 'round the boards somewhere.

Welcome aboard.
Be careful of the 3 or 4 expats here who live in Thailand though, and the 1st Group guys who wish they did.

Thanks for the welcome. I need to check some profiles to see if I know any of the Thailand & 1st Group members. May not know them well, but I wouldn't be surprised if I saw them moving around the compound when I was over there. Anyway, good to be here. Take care.
