Yeah....you say that now. But back in the day the Rain God sent shivers of fear down your non-Gortex back !!!! :twisted:
Negative, negative, negative. You know as well as I do, at Ft. Lewis, you either learn to love the rain and use it as an advantage, or you live fucking miserably.

Most times when the sun came out fella's went running around screaming about the end of the world. :lol:

We held a PT test yesterday for some new applicants to our Tm. Pouring rain and 30-40 mile an hr winds, felt just like home. :twisted:

(They actually did pretty good as far as not whining, but only 4 out of 7 passed the PT portion.)

In the hall of the slain
Valkyries and heroes attend me
Ravens and wolves at my side
Forever they did befriend me

I paid an eye for a drink of mead
And was given wisdom supreme
Granted to me the secrets
Of magic, of life and death

Ah.. Speared hung upside down
Nine days and nights no food nor mead
The will to be a sacrifice
Of myself unto myself

Wisdom and rhyme
Sorcery, death living inside me
Of life and death I am king
For both do I bring by sword and spear and ring

Raise thy weapons on this day
Ye shall not die alone

Fight and die let Valkyries fly
For they shall take thee home

I promise thee that on this night
Ye shall be by my side

Asgard's halls await with hero's
Brothers that have died

For thee we wait at Asgard's gates
Come join us by our side

Valhalla waits so choose thy fate
For all of us must die!

I have often wondered why it is conservatives are called the"right" and the liberals are called the "left." By chance stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." (Ecclesiastes 10:2, NIV)

Dear Islam,

Americans ARE NOT "Islamaphobic".

Phobia is fear.

We are not afraid of you, We hate your "Mohammed lovin' guts!"

Sincerely,

The Green Mountain Boys

P.S. We will find you and we will kill you. That is all.
