Is it okay if I ask DMP what happened to shorten his tour and limit his mobility?

Sure thing!
Here's a question for CSM - If you had the power to change one thing about today's military, what would you change?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

I'm not CSM so this doesn't count, but I'd change the CIC.Sure thing!

Guns .50 cal and over are what keep it civil.

It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

Well, someone already said CinC but that would not have been my first choice anyway. If I were emporer of the universe I would make it so that the military COULD NOT be deployed to ANY foreign country without a declaration of war by the CONGRESS. That entails a lot of details that are probably too long to list here but that would be the outcome.Sure thing!

My turn.
For Jimnyc: is there a way (other than an avatar or sig) that we could indicate vets that post ... maybe a little smiley next to the name or something?
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I've seen other boards that have little nations' flags next to the user-name.
Maybe a little branch-of-service icon???

Question for Gunny: Do you watch NCIS, which stars a "Gunny"? If so, any similarities between you and Mark Harmon (be still my heart!).

My apologies, I haven't kept up with this thread and had not noticed this request. I'm looking into a few options. My first option would be a way to add an image of sorts near the user name when you post that would acknowledge you as a Military Veteran. The problem is going to be adding it for certain users and not the entire board. I'll find something though...
And although you mention other than sig, what would be your thoughts on a custom image that would only apply to DP military veterans? Or maybe something like that if I can't find a way to make the user name image happen quickly?
I'll start a new thread in the lounge soon enough when I have a few ideas, so as not to derail this thread. I didn't want this to go unnoticed though and I think it's an awesome idea for honoring our vets!

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

Would this be the correct thread to ask JT why he is such a dick?

Just a simple curiosity . It certainly won't affect my life if I never learn the answer.

Does JT stand for Just Trollin?

You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

Well....I think it would be like when I'm watching Funniest Home Videos and see something gross...like a kid picking his nose ... you can never get that image out of your mind....knowing why JT is such a dick would be similar.
