Killin' is the Marine Corps business...crazy terrorists are keeping business good.

As long as I get a little time off before I head out again on deployment...got me almost 60 leave days saved up already and another 5 months to go out here before I get a day off. Thinkin' about taking the wife someplace elegant for vacation when I get back.:D
Unsure of where to go though:p

If ever a bet were a sure thing. That little bastard takes credit for everything he never did.

I've had the pleasure of drinking with members of the RAR during RIMPAC, Sonnabend. Those pics were better then the guys talked about though.:D

Ya'll down under can drink, that I can attest to. The leader of the group would yell out "Aussie Aussie Aussie", followed by the crowd roaring, "Oye Oye Oye!" Man, good times.

Just might have to take this into consideration...flights from Hawaii to Australia can't be THAT expensive.:eek:

I've always wanted to go to Australia. We had a bunch of Aussies at Balad, working the hospital. They were a hoot. GO1 didn't sit well with them, though.

Why? Is that your wife or something? :D
