Hey, Tallpine: re: "Get off the turnpike once in a while and see America" Be careful; you might get what you wish for.

XD talk down? Sure seems like it for me. Haven't been able to get on for a week or so now. You might want to take a look at my attempts to fix the problem on the Springfield forum at www.pistolsmith.com. Then again, maybe not, since I've not been successful. But it is gratifying to find that...

Bad Dad Brad: You're absolutely right. I forgot to add that I was 22 when I was drafted and boot camp was a genuine bitch for me. 24 would be WAY too old. Mayhap the USAF or Navy?

Pipsqueak: I guess what I'm trying to say is that making a decision like this is a very personal thing and deep down, you KNOW what you want to do. So, you either go and join up, or don't. You don't ask a bunch of unknown persons what to do. Kinda like when I got drafted in '66. I didn't ask...

re: reading material Howdy; Have you read Kenneth Roberts books... Northwest Passage, Arundel and many others that I can't bring to mind right now? They're superbly researched historically and very well written. Also, The First First World War has just been reprinted; it's a history of the F&I...
