Check it out. Graduated with him. He was our quarterback!

Been in four years. Sergeant, sniper, 32 Kills. Silver Star. WOW!

Kinda makes me feel like my NROTC days haven't meant jack squat compared to what he's been contributing. I'm ready to get out there now! Good on him! Great guy. Nice to see good things happen to good people.

Good on him. Always amazing to find out what your former classmates and friends have been doing... some more impressive than others.

There have been a fair share of Navy Crosses awarded this war too... lots of examples of bravery on the battle field. Hope he stays safe.

Feeeee-e-e-lings !!! Whoa, whoa, whoa ..... Feeeeee-lings ......

..... your "feelings" are right on ---- your NROTC days are "Alice in Wonderland" days compared to the hard, real world of your former classmate. Enjoy the here and now ... your time is coming ....

It was inflicted on me by Web-san ... (he's also managed to get into my checking account). Personally, I prefer Golden Retrievers .... ...

HOWEVER, since Web-san now sports a Chu-hai avatar ....

I will accept his innocent, but disturbingly misguided, unsolicited editing and semi-criticism of old Sea-Dogs ..... at least until I contact my lawyer.
