Yasser Arafat (Sp?) and Ringo Starr Try and tell me they ain't the same. Ever seen the two of them together in the same place?

Thats awesome! My godfather has a Kawasaki version, well I think its called a Mule anyway, but its nowhere as strack and hardcore as that one.

Ranger, although I obviously wasn't around in the 70's, I've heard and read a lot about the problems between soldiers and civilians. Personally, it pisses the hell out of me to see people unwilling to serve and fight for their country have the gall to complain and insult those who are. That seems to me to be the ultimate of cowardice, hypocrisy and stupidity. I certainly hope that when I am in the military, the same doesn't happen to me. I don't know if I could take it. I have no problems with somebody complaining about anything, so long as they have made an effort to change it. If they are unwilling to make a personnal effort to change the situation, they deserve no right to complain. Please, I don't mean to offend anybody on this board, nobody at all (Unless they have a certain set of banned initials, ) because I consider just about everybody here my friend, no matter their political leanings. And above all, this is just my opinion, and I'm too stubborn to be swayed.

Haha, seriously? Were they worse than those that weren't gamers?

Yeah, at that time 18 years of experience was definately enough to beat an army of geriatric 30 year olds with plague. And nope, I don't know of any current 18 year old generals, at least in first world national armies, lol. Viedo games are getting more realistic then ever, stands to reason we should be getting some decent experience now at a younger age

Alexander the Great ring any bells? But I have to agree with Chuck Yeager, "No matter the aircraft, the pilot with the most experience will wax the other's tale." Maybe not a perfect quotation, but the meaning is there.

I have only the greatest respect for the current French soldiers, do mainly to their heroism and bravery during Dien Bien Phu. The problem has always been with the government and the higher leadership, not the ones out there doing the fighting.

Damn man, definately going with the wrong people.

Damn straight. AFJROTC TX20017 Support Squadron Commander, Cadet Major.

rofl You hear about how somebody petitioned to rename it the Freedom Quarter? Thats going a bit too far, I think.

All the (I'll be nice) older folks are probably shaking their heads in disgust. Snapple, 3 dates? Jeez, I'm going with the wrong people...

Figured it out, it was the "-" in the link that caused it to malfunction. Well, thats what you get from x-plane.org webspace. ty Cowboy, for the pic and the hosting.

Dangit, thats exactly what I did, but its not showing up. I'll try again.

Alright, I'm an idiot, how do you get this thing to show?

Tight, its goin into the sig.

OMG, dude, thats awesome work! Release date, anyone?

Damn straight, :roll:

Our numbers are swelling, haha. But they remain low! Jeff, we declare minority status. We want a month of recognition, and all our poll scores should be inflated to reflect our past suffering.

Yeah, it feels kinda good being the young-uns.

OK, I feel so out of sync. Dagger, what terrain are you using? Can you guys forgive me if I've been spending all my sim time in Forgotten Battles?

Just hope you fall into hers,

I'm having IAF flashbacks.

I hope it turns out just like the training. Good luck!

I used to subscribe to Combatsim.com, until they discontinued the daily news and the regular reviews and articles. One thing I really appreciated about Combatsim was the monthly calenders, and unfortunately, they can only be accessed by subscribers now. I was wondering if we might be able to start the same service here. Thanks

I'm glad you guys were already working on it. No prob that you forgot to post. What'd be really great is to see like three categories of calendars: Military Photo, Civilian Photo and Flight Sim Screenshot. Every time I see a good (And suitably large) photo I'll be sure and link it, with author's approval of course.
