Agreed. God forbid that reading might give us imagination and creativity to create something like electricity, or even lawn mowers.

We're ALL this way, in some fashion. So we have to consider every communication from a perspective outside of ourselves. When Romans 15:1 tells us that we are, indeed, our brother's keeper, we must consider how our communications are received; and the fact that one receiver is not the same as...

I wish. Unfortunately, it backs up to the time period that my retirement "officially" started.

I don't believe I've ever used the word "ironical." :laugh: And no, I don't believe in coincidence.

You're wrong, Zaac. I don't want you gone. In fact, I would enjoy some productive conversation/debate with you. I'm just curious about the fact that you're quick to talk about all the negativity on this board, when you apparently don't realize how much you're contributing to the negativity on...

There's a difference between "running off with your tail between your legs" and simply getting out of the cess pool. The way you talk about most of the people on this board, one has to wonder why you continue to swim.... ----- Sorry for the detour, folks.

What's crazy is all the complaining about the "nasty, funky attitudes"...and yet, y'all keep coming back. Hmm.

Yes. Technically, you get two options: tricare standard or tricare extra. Not sure i'm remembering this correctly; i think Extra costs a little less per year, but you have higher co-pays. But this is one of the things they'll talk about in TAP.

Quite a list. And I thought I got around. ;)

Jon-I retired last year. What I'm about to write, you probably already know, so forgive me if I'm wasting your time. First, ya gotta go to a transition assistance program class. I went about two years before I got serious about retiring, and then again when I made the decision to retire. Lots...

I'm pretty sure it ended. If an appeal were to ever find him not guilty, then he'd be entitled to back-pay. But since the current appeal is only regarding the death penalty, not his guilt, then the appeal won't affect his rank, pay, or status.

As I heard someone say: Anyone who wants the job, probably shouldn't have it....

Actually, the last thing the Army wanted to do was sentence him to death, only to have it over-turned (which has happened to most of their death sentence cases in the last 50 years or so). Now the question is: How long before they execute the sentence?

Zaac - are you trying to make a point that ALL bullying is bad?

Did y'all know that some of the newer cars don't have a spare tire or one of those little donut tires any more? I do now. Checked with a friend; his 2013 Chevy Camaro doesn't have one, either. They come with an air compressor you can attach to your vehicle's cigarette lighter, and a canister...

JonC - all bases you've actually been assigned to? And I thought my list was long....

The one who shuts him/herself away, is akin to the servant who hid his talent in the dirt....

Anyone remember a 2-plane bombing run on Libya back in the 80's?....

"No one"? Sorry, but that constitutes "brazen lie." There are several of us that actually do check out stories before we post them. We take pride in being as truthful, honest, and credible as we can. Now, there are a lot of posts that show up just like Winman's; and those same people (just...

Do you use that same logic when you post or talk about scripture? If you put out false information about something like this without taking the time to check it out, what else have you put out that's false--including your arguments regarding Calvinism--because you "didn't have the time" to...
