When stationed at Ft. Stewart, GA (home of the 24th ID at the time), after we returned from GWI, I drove for him for one month during the summer. It was quite interesting. I actually ended up driving his wife back and forth between Savannah and Ft. Stewart more than I did driving him around. There was a month long AAR (after action review) taking place and so he spent most of him time there during my turn to drive him. He is actually a very nice guy.

Another interesting fellow that I served with (in brigage HQ) was Colonel David Hunt. You see him on Fox all the time now. In the summer of 1988 I worked in the 3rd Brigade S2/S3 shop in Korea and he was in charge of counter-terrorism and security for our sector during the Summer Olympics. I actually got to work with him quite a bit. I was and E5 at the time and I acted as a driver and assistance to him and the brigage S3 during security planning with the 1st ROK Army division. It was quite an interesting time. About two years ago I saw him on Gretta's show and I emailed her and she responded to me letting me know she passed on my email to him. He replied back but we haven't kept in touch or anything. He is a celebrity now and I am just, well, a dude living in Vegas!

I thought it was cool of her to reply to me and pass on my email and equally cool of him to email me directly. He actually remembered me! (I guess it is kinda hard not to remember people you have showered with! )

Well I don't know about Col. Hunt, but I remember every male I showered with! Unlike many, I like Greta as a 'person', I do wish that Fox would let her go with 'real news' like Hunt et al, and stay away from Michael Jackson stuff...

True. My sister is a teacher and says many teachers have problems with this.

Sorry I missed this, I like the concept-especially standards, though think they should be 'localized' rather than 'nationalized'. I really, really hate that 'special ed' inclusion kids are factored into school test results. It's complicated but it means the schools that do the most to help the kids are penalized...

I agree. They are, in my opinion, wasting her talents. But I sometimes wonder if it is her that prefers those kinds of stories.... I would think she would be pushing them to let her take on some of the legal issues concerning the WoT. Maybe she is too liberal and they are afraid she will use her show as a soapbox or something. But there are other legal angles that she could tackle in regards to the WoT without taking on the Patriot Act, etc.

Hey there are things within the Patriot Act that should be discussed. Guess what? I was singled out for a security check at Logan on the return trip from Boston. I haven't a clue to why, but would love to know if it was for a random check or something else.

T/F I once talked on the phone for 9 hours straight.

No brainer-true. I've done that, easy! (not anymore, only when my kids were little and a portable phone was my lifeline against child abuse/insanity). Oh yea, when I was 'in love' and young, though much of it while I was sleeping and drooling on the phone.

Yeah, you're right. I guess that was an easy one. Although my huband finds it amazing!

T/F I have visited all 50 states.

False.

T/F: But, you wish you had.

 

[Nienna]

False.

T/F: But, you wish you had.

Very very true! Only 8 states + DC. I think we are going to MI this fall though, camping with the kids. Should be interesting!

Probably all had to do with you're timing in checking in!

Yeah me and 10 other adults, 43 13 and 14 years olds! Why me????

T/F: In 1974 I shot and killed two vagrants at a wayside just outside of Tombstone, Arizona in self defense.

This is false. My vivid imagination prevailed... :teeth:
