OOOPs.... :-[ I may have posted this in the wrong place seeing as I am not a member as yet. Should have put it in the "prospective members and interested parties. Sry guys... Admin....get the cane... ;) Or please just move this thread to where it belongs. (I would much prefer the latter)? ;D At any rate, thanks much for the welcome all!!!

Just for the record, If the SIG offends anyone I will gladly get rid of it. I made that Sig, remembering one of my first Airborne jumps with the Rangers back in 75. I was a frightened young man, with all these "OLD" soldiers around me, waiting on the tarmak to board the planes. Setting there, a Sgt. walked by, stopped, he could see my fear, and said that to me. In those exact words. A few jumps after that, I said the same thing to a NEWBEE who had just came into our Battalion. I am sure it had been going on long before I got there, and is probably still going on to this day. With all those who fall out of a perfecly good airplane. Just another way to let them know, they are not alone.

Welcome aboard Charlie1A. Glad to see more Wyomingites here.
The sig is cool 8), nice job. Sort of a challenge for bringing up on dial-up, but don't let that stop you.
Pop was a Ranger before Nam, so I can relate, sort of ;). Most on the board here appreciate those that have served so I can't see it being a problem from that standpoint. As far as regrouping in Hell, well, war is Hell IMO. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do, like it or not. Thanks for your service.
We're just a bunch of freedom loving folks who want to keep it that way, and a polite easy going crowd at that. :)

Chuck, no problem here with the sig... not for me anyhow. And you can fix the membership thing easy enough. <G>
Propose a Casper get together of some kind to meet all the folks there. No need at all to move this thread then! :)
-
Figured I'd drop the sig. It never dawned on me about the dialup thing. I have had DSL for so long now I almost forgot how long it takes to bring things up on the slower connections. LOL, spoiled to the core I am!!
I see this thread got moved to where it belongs so all is good. Glad the Admin in charge didn't bring out the cane. ;)
Bobcat, thanks for the kind words.
And MamaLiberty, that sounds like a good idea, although it may be a while.

Wow! Still going through this forum and have not come close to seeing all of it yet. Catching some of the links, getting side tracked with that. A wealth of good information here !! Great work you guys!! Now to see if I can find a couple of Bostons books and get a read on that. Again, great work all !! ;D

Welcome Charlie1A! Thanks for stopping in.
Is Colorado a lot different in climate from Wyoming and other places you've been? I was just talking to a car salesman today on the phone at work who is in Colorado Springs. He is from Houston and it REALLY sounds like he is having a hard time adjusting to Colorado's "4 seasons in one day". He lives at 6000 elevation, and said he drove down the mtn. where it was sunny, then ran into rain, then hail, then snow. Says the thinner air really kills him too, and he just recently was in the Army. I suppose he is just not used to it yet. :)

Hi JenS,
No, the climate in Colorado isn't too much different than here. As a matter of fact it looks like we got a couple of inches of snow on Casper Mountain just south of us today. Only rain here in town so far though. I spent a few years in Georgia, and comming back to these elevations took some getting used to again. But it doesn't take very long. The weather here is really pretty nice. And I bet there are more than a few from here and Colo. who can say they have been snowed on in the mountains on a 4th of July weekend. The winter cold takes a bit to get used to. But you can always dress for it. I grew up mostly down in the southern deserts, so that was different for me. Spring and fall is where you can see all 4 in a day. It's great though.

Welcome Charlie!
My wife (Lynda) & are are hoping to get our house sold & move to WY within the next year, and are leaning towards either Casper, Buffalo, or Sheridan. Lynda wants to see all 3 before she casts her final "vote".
You can find Boston's books at www.javelinpress.com, although I've picked a few up from gun shows, and got Molon Labe from Fredsm14stocks.com.

One of my best friends, and indicted co-conspirators for Space Travel Services, was an Army Ranger. They do lead the way.

Hello Charlie 1A,
Sorry I'm late on the thread. The first time I went shooting was with an Veitnam Vet Ranger. He taught me how to shoot rifles('95 Spanish Mauser, 7mm) and a 30-30 Marlin. That same night I watched him reload all the spent ammo. What a cool dude. Rangers are all right with me.
Triple Volunteers, right?
