"And NCOs and Officers who get involved in any way with junior enlisted

A while back I spent a year doing military appellate work in DC. Basically, I worked on appeals of court-martials. Most of the docket was sex crimes. It's not a fair sample of the problem because my experience is limited to cases where the victim (a) went to the authorities, (b) the authorities believed them, (c)…

@avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus I'm just giving you shit with the "tourist" crack. Based on the content of your posts, you seem to be quite the opposite.

Sorry guys, that movie still blows.

I remember watching "The Sandlot."

Fuck that guy. Seriously.

The blood pressure rises the moment I leave northern new england and stays that way all the way back to my downtown desk job. But… I'm also not driving in the city, so that calms me down some. At least until some waddling tourist clogs up half the sidewalk and/or can't work the turnstile on the subway.

Wasn't this movie already made?
And wasn't it called "Josie and the Pussycats"?

@ Scott Stapp,
I've head from folks who vaguely knew him that Ralston had a rep for being a bit of a careless jackass. Skiing in sketchy avy-situations and such. They said they weren't too surprised that something finally happened to him.
That said, leaving a note and a will is hardly essential any time you walk out…
