<sarc> Amazing how younger people stay younger as time progresses. <sarc>
She’s probably about the age he was in that now. He was 43 then 57 now. She was 28 then, 41/42 now. Seriously, that’s not a fair comparison. He’s practically a geriatric and she’s in her prime.

When, where, how, and with whom?

As compared to Obama’s ivory tower? Kick back, crack a cold one and read Secretary Gates’ book. You’ll see that the level of effort in understanding the military isn’t too different between the two of them at this stage.

And you, dear fellow, do not seem to understand the difference between responsibility and accountability.
I agree that Trump is a cretin who is shirking his responsibility when he says “They (the military) lost Ryan”. However, it is not the President’s job to conceive or manage risk on missions. He weighs the…

There is so much stupid in your statement that I don’t really know where to start.

Listen, I didn’t vote for Trump and I dislike his leadership style, but let’s be clear about one thing. The President didn’t get the Chief killed no matter how you dress it. There were several layers of leaders doing risk assessment and mission prioritization between those two things. The President isn’t the guy…

Stay safe. If you end up in Bahrain, look me up for a drink!

Really though (And I’m not supporting the troll above you) - there’s only one hereditary race - human. Racial groups are not biologically defined, nor able to be differentiated in genotype-phenotype differentiation. Basically, there ain’t no science that supports this. We’re really all the same.
If sex is biological,…

My home cops (Honolulu) are with you. They chose to have all of the unmarked cars be fancy-as-fuck fully optioned V8 Dodge Chargers with chrome... really subtle and totally inconspicuous when the majority of the population drives beater accords and civics.

Yeah... a lot of shit happened to him. Not just that. Father leaving. Dsylexia. Stillborn kid with that gf who died soon after. River Phoenix dying. etc etc

Most of us males wish we were half as well put together at 25 as Keanu at 52.

If she wants to do the trip, she should plan the trip the old fashioned way instead of having something or someone else do the work. Don’t let her go otherwise! Make her get out the maps and guidebooks and do the research. It builds character!

That’s the point of the question (well that and a little of what Blown2K2S2K said). I was asked this exact question as an interviewee for entry for an advanced nuclear program and later taught the desired answer as an interviewer for the same thing. The thought being that you can teach someone to solve a problem ()…

+1 for the Street Triple. Love mine.

Wow, Tom. From this article, I have two responses:
1) I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t like you, probably never will. You’re a smug, unhappy little man and you treat people like they were idiots.
2) Wyoming is gorgeous. I’m glad jackwagons like you don’t plan trips there. Allow me to enjoy my paradise. I need to…

Star for appropriately using the term “liberal values”. And a big laugh for making me mentally consider how “liberal” the “liberals” are these days. Neither party is either ideologically liberal or conservative these days - just “my way ‘cause I want it.”

HA! I remember half of the people in my initial MSF class saying they wanted “a Harley for their first bike because it is special”. Of course, these were the same people who wanted to ride because “it would be relaxing”. My first bike was a beat-to-shit Buell Blast , which was definitely a smart move after I dropped…

YES! Related: As a young (Read-dumb) man with a brand-new military paycheck, I went out to buy a new 4th gen F-body from a dealer. Went to a Pontiac dealer first with my Dad because he didn’t like Chevy (he was a MOPAR guy so getting him to even come was a win). Salesman took us out for a test drive in an automatic. I…

Give it to someone you pity. That kind of snark seems like your thing. ;-)

For what 3 months... It won’t alleviate a mortgage or even get a down-payment on one. It won’t continue to put food on the table. It won’t pay for a degree. It may fix a car. Reliable transportation is nice 0 could solve some problems. So that’s a couple of years.
But it likely won’t “change a person’s life”.
