@VH...I got promoted to MSgt back in 2012 but I just retired from the Marines. I already landed a federal job at the middle school on Camp Lejeune. This place is dead now, what happened? Everyone leave?

I first joined these forums in 2004 timeframe (I think)... I used to be in here a lot. It's been quite a while since I've logged on last. Hope all you ol' timers are doing well.

Been great man, just busy but I guess not busy enough to have an excuse not to venture in here more often. I'll tell you one thing, this place is a ghost town compared to how it used to be:(

What happened to this place? I remember back in the day coming in here and it was hard to squeeze a thread in here, these forums are empty today. Anyhow, I did my first NASCAR race last week in Charlotte at the Coca Cola 600 and it was just an awesome time. Of course I was the newbie and the other families we were with were vets so they showed us the ropes and it was just a great time. We camped as a group there just outside of Turn 4 and had awesome tickets. I think I'll stick to hockey as my favorite sport but I must say it was pretty cool going to a NASCAR race.

Go B's...

It's not as lively here as it used to be, this place used to be jumping.

All is well here in Eastern NC... living the American dream, lol

Good to see some of the old names around here. I've been busy, between deploying and college, it's been non-stop. I'm in Eastern NC for right now, I'll retire from the Marine Corps here and then who knows where I'll wind up after that. Maybe I'll start coming around more. I'm really shocked the politics room is so quiet. I remember back in 2004 that room wasn't quiet, lol... that's where I first met Buckee, lol... Hope everyones hunting season is going well for them.

I live in Eastern NC and we had maybe 40mph (tops) here over the last few days. Total rain fall maybe two inches... but it just brushed up against us down here, nothing major at least where I am at. We had much more rain and much higher winds with some of them crazy thunderstorms we had here over the summer.

Farts are the oldest, most funniest jokes in the book...in my opinion. You ask my wife, she'll tell you something completely different...

There are more issues out there than the economy, so yes, this debate was needed. Foreign policy is a major issue and it needed to be debated. I would have thought that Romney would have pounced all over Obama during that third debate, why he didn't is beyond me. Hopefully we have change here in a few weeks...

Just got back from Jordan, what a great time although driving in Amman is a nightmare. But I got to see some pretty cool places. I went to the Baptism site of Jesus and that was pretty cool because the Israel border was right there too (West Bank) and we're waving at them and they were waving at us, lol. Then we drove up to Mount Nebo, which is where God showed Moses the Promised Land. So it was really neat seeing them places, it's not every day you have a chance to do those things. So I'm back in Bahrain now and will be heading to U.A.E here in about a month or so.

Had to come over here to Amman, Jordan for a few days. Wrapped up business yesterday so today we went to Petra and to the Dead Sea to see the site where Jesus was noted as being baptized. Petra was cool and so was seeing that old discovered ancient city. Rode in on a mule and a camel so that was cool. It's amazing what they made with their bare hands that long ago. Got to see a lot of history today so that was cool. Heading back to Bahrain tomorrow to continue my one year deployment:wacko:.

Thanks everyone, I'll try to get in here more often. It's hard though, I've started my Masters program in July so when I'm not at work, I'm doing home work so it's easy to find an excuse. Glad all the old timers are doing well, how about Buckee and VH?

We got a brief on this today from our top man in the Marine Corps. 6 Republicans, 6 democrats = no decision = failure.
