If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?
wrote in message oups.com... I knew a SSgt that was also a Major. When he had on his Major Uniform, he strutted around escorting the JrCAPs to the chow hall to show them how it's really done. Cool, so he could wear one of each rank per shoulder and you can just call him Sgt. Major. Yet as "chief operator" or ANCOIC of NMC MARS on Okinawa, he remains woefully ignorant of MARS. I just don't get it. Uh, hello.... Looks like perfect qualifications for a management position. He never thought that a mere Army or Air Force NCO would know anything about MARS. It's the 4th planet from the Sun, and there's a probe thingy driving in uncontrollable circles around Deuphus Prime. Very, very unfortunate for him. Not good for the probe either... Seven hostile actions, I'm told. I can't imagine being short-sheeted 7 times by members of my flight. The marines can fly? I thought they were just to cover the beaches so the Army doesn't get sand in their boots.... rb |

Careful. You might get him excited with the probe talk. Very, very unfortunate for him. Not good for the probe either... Can't it be factory refurbished? Seven hostile actions, I'm told. I can't imagine being short-sheeted 7 times by members of my flight. The marines can fly? I thought they were just to cover the beaches so the Army doesn't get sand in their boots.... Welp, when the AF took the airplanes away from the Army in 1947... ....this guy named Sikorsky came along and sold them some helicopters. Anyway, they were a lot of fun and the idea really caught on. Now the marines have them, too. Robesin says he worked on helicopters in some capacity, and got hisself involved in 7 hostile actions. |

I like the way you think. I usually try to avoid thought... it makes my head hurt... Can't it be factory refurbished? Funny thing... the stupid NASA Engineers tried to control the thing with data bursts.... Yes, data bursts! Can you believe those anti-CW nazis? We'd already be on Pluto if they'd controlled it with CW. So, sadly, no.... due to advanced technology, she's been lost.... I thought they were just to cover the beaches so the Army doesn't get sand in their boots.... Welp, when the AF took the airplanes away from the Army in 1947... Was it that late? I would've guess more around the late/end of the war... Well anyway, I was just trying to stir up some jarheads with the beaches/Army thing... You wanna swap radios or anything? rb |

You would have been right at home in the Morse Forever camp about 10 years ago. Can't it be factory refurbished?

We'd already be on Pluto if they'd controlled it with CW. So, sadly, no.... due to advanced technology, she's been lost.... Manual telegraphy? C'mon... I thought they were just to cover the beaches so the Army doesn't get sand in their boots.... Welp, when the AF took the airplanes away from the Army in 1947... Was it that late? I would've guess more around the late/end of the war... I wasn't there, but that's how the story went. Well anyway, I was just trying to stir up some jarheads with the beaches/Army thing... I've got a lot of respect for both. Served with the 2ID at Casey, and again with the marines and 10th mountain in somalia. You wanna swap radios or anything? rb Probably not, but there is another group, rec.radio.amateur.equipment, which is a lot like a hamfest. Except the food is better. |

I'm just thinking this would be a great place for a radio swap group, that's all. Everything I say is usually in sarcasm.....just to add stupidity to the stupidty.... I've given up though and I'm going back to ebay... I've got a lot of respect for both. Served with the 2ID at Casey, and again with the marines and 10th mountain in somalia. Big Ol' Kudos to you bro. Somalians suck. I think there are indeed places that qualify as Fourth-world countries. Somalia, Nigeria, etc... LOL.. rb |

Seems the al qaida is well liked in somalia because the country has been through 15 years of chaos and lawlessness, and the islamists are now imposing their law. I guess any law is better than none. Reminds me, in part, how hitler came to power. |

Who's gonna see a single want ad in 300 postings about nothing?
Who wants to pilfer 300 postings about nothing to find a sale ad? On the Somalia thing, Do you mean extremists/terrorists that claim to follow Islam, or just basic Islamists? It looks like you mean the former. Please understand that Al Qaeda is a group of terrorists/extremists, it doesn't matter what religion they claim to follow. rb wrote in message ups.com...
