Morning my sweet little pumpkin squash! 

I LOVE when you call me pet names.  You know little pumpkin squash is my favorite!!!!

*hurls on keyboard*

Get a room already!

True dat!

35 hurlers all in a row?

Technically, I was recon, just not a Marine.

Most of the real studs generally don't need to talk about things they've done to prove that they're studs. 

You should always assume SOMETHING is there no matter how bad I screw up and how mad she gets at me.

Ding ding ding.....truer words have never been typed.

You lost me at "the flooring guy at Lowe's proceeded to tell me...." 

I preach the truth, my brethren.

Good to see the Mac hasn't lost his flair for controversy.  Although I am amused by the responses. 

Heh.  There's actually a website out there dedicated to pointing out people who have fraudulently claimed to be Navy SEALs.

I know I never did anything overly cool.  I talk about the fun stuff, because it was fun, and if people ask questions, I'll gladly answer.  Personally, I never thought of military service as making someone better than anyone else.  It's a calling, like a being a priest.  You dedicate part of yourself to it, even those who claim to hate it, and do short tours.  But you're not better, just different.  Like doing athletics.  People here are dedicated to a greater or lesser extent to triathlons.  That doesn't make them better than anyone else, just different than the rest.

I enjoyed the vast majority of my time, and would go back in a heartbeat.  And no, my dedication to my country is no greater than anyone else's.  Just my dedication to my men (I never had female troops).  And that's something that people who have never done it don't really fully grasp, I think.  Hence the reason I like the St. Crispin's Day speech.  It encompasses that feeling rather well.  That, and the speech at the start of the movie "Patton". 

Mornin' TAN!

I've never thrown anybody off a balcony or ripped out someone's larynx with my bare hands but that doesn't mean I haven't wanted to.

So, did we all have a nice weekend? I spent mine with my in-laws and actually had a really nice time. My MIL was very well behaved.

Gotta get back to work. I'm in waaaaaay over my head this week!
