This is bullshit...what good would service to your nation be if you didn't have financial hardship to endure?
True Ranger Silverback too true.

If I was serious about doing this I would find a way to do it, not find excuses.

Unfortunately I have made choices in my life that prevent me from doing this.

That would be corect.
Now is there a waiver for MS? It's only in my left hand, right eye and cervical spine...

Don't even answer that. I'm not putting others at risk.... :roll:

I think we should all just go ahead and get back in and form "The 75th Special Ops BN!"

Everyone would have a job doing something, pushing a pencil, making chow, working in the armpit room :D , the commo shed, the aid station, or what ever.

Then when they need something done and done right, we could all slothfully (I mean steathfully) gimp our old asses in behind enemy lines undetected because they would think that we were all just broke dick civilians.

Then once we infiltrated one piece at a time, we could rally and kick their ass from the inside out! :D

Damn, what a plan I have! Does it sound good or what? :wink:

Only HE and WP bowling balls, it's to hard to keep the Illume bowling balls in the air until they burn out. So there would be no need to waste our endless budget on 'em. :D
