    Thats great and thank you for serving, but you are a No Go here. You need to read the SOP and go back and make a proper introduction in the introduction threads.

    Welcome Wildcat.

    Your not doing too bad. The computer learning curve can be steep but starts to get better pretty soon.

    Some of the folks might ask for a little bit more background information about you military service.
    Light engineers must be proficient in marksmanship, demolitions, light infantry skills, and field-expedient engineering. Because of the austere conditions in which they operate, light engineers must have knowledge of all weapons in their unit, an intimate understanding of the weapons systems of the forces they support, and a working knowledge of the enemies' weapons. The close combat skills of light engineers must be unequaled. They must hold total confidence in their abilities to apply these skills and tools.

    Welcome.

    Any service in RVN? How about where and when you trained. BN's, etc?

    Get yourself verified for full access and unquestioned veracity.

    Wildcat...

    Although, I appreciate the experience all the soldiers, sailors, and airmen went through during those years...

    I cannot accept that intro...!

    Please, provide some more G2.

    You will learn the computer world as time goes on.

    Have a great night.




















    I can't stand being politically correct...

    Wildcat, that intro sucked some major ASS...

    Provide some more G2!

    You are a NO GO at this station!

    I have received some mail from our new hero. He's not all that used to this type of format and has sincerely asked for assistance with what he did to earn the negative "feedback" here. Let's cut him some slack until he gets used to the place as he is attempting to make right.

    But showing consideration is "politically correct." We can't do that. It's more "paratrooperish" to be a dickhead no matter what the circumstances.
