Awesome, please include me; would love a chance at that, especially knowing some of the history you discussed. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I'd love to have a chance at this one. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

I have copies of that series of books, so do not enter me, but it is well worth the read. I first ran across it in the post library at an overseas Army base. It was an eye-opener for an impressionable teenager. ► 6.0/94.0 I can tell at sight a Chassepot rifle from a javelin. | |||
