    On the other hand, if he was referring to "The Contest" where a woman across the street from Jerry's apartment routinely does things naked, he could have seen it as early as 17 Nov 92.

    Indeed I was. I'm pretty sure SWACQ is Skeeterman. No amount of SIPR email with him would convince me otherwise now.

    Worst

    - Our whole company getting accused of stealing Royal Marine uniforms and then having our rooms torn apart looking for them (none found).
    - People going down for heat because they didn't eat their MRE and/or hydrate properly, then watching with disgust as they complain that it was too hot outside... weak. Then you ALL get treated like little bitches for the irresponsible acts of others. You should get rolled for being a self induced heat casualty and then complaining about the training.

    Best

    - Every instructor, O and E, that I came across gave a shit and made the training worthwhile.

    Basically everything sucked while you were doing it but when you were done there was a sense of accomplishment.

    I thought Skeeterman would be older than he looks?

    That's over my head. Huh?

    I thought the contest started from George getting caught by his mom... don't recall the woman across the street, but I'll take your word for it. ;)

    The thread is now in the private moderator area, but basically Skeeterman was a big phony who got outed here. He's now on the POW Network's phonies webpage.

    So there was a dude here with the user name "skeeterman?" Funny, ironic, perhaps that urban dictionary says "Skeeterman" is a term for a fraud, phonie, etc.

    Have another look at the fine print under the word definition, specifically the contributor of that particular entry. I believe that you will agree with me that he is a reliable source. :)

    From over at IMDB.com:

    Personally, I think "The Switch" is the better episode, but "The Contest" is definitely gold.

    As in "If you become disoriented and separated during the movement, get down and stay put. When you hear the attack commence, run towards the sound of gunfire, raise your right arm and wave while shouting "football football football"....

    ...weeks later he was rolled back to the beginning to our surprise.

    If he'd only used the "north-seeking arrow" on his map, he would have been okay.

    The map, after all, is made of magical magnetized paper.

    Wowwww! The best part is the "mrscaptain" persona he eventually creates. What a genius tactic to throw them off the trail. LOL! Sorry but I've never heard an O-6 with such elementary command of the english language/written word. What a dork. Worth reviewing that ^site^ if you have over an hour to kill at work!

    IO's lost Marine plan during MOUT, "If you become lost crossing the street, return to the AA and immediately start your response to counsel".
