    Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call from my family...

    and they were arguing over whether "Zit" is a legal play in Scrabble.

    Hey! I love my outhouse.

    You just have to be brave enough to build it without a door.
    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.

    Apparently, I am a rascist because I disagree with Mr. Obama.

    The greatest thing about being behind a camera at events... is not having to be in front of it...

    Apparently less than one month from deployment and a decision still hasn't been reached about where I am to go downrange.

    Just go downrange anywhere, watch your 6, and shoot anyone who talks like they are clearing their throats (except the Germans). Come back safe. thats all we ask of you.

    At least I'm not a douche... according to my reputation score here.

    That's the biggest ego boost I've had in a while.

    It is very unlucky to touch the gas tube of an M16A1 rifle until at least one hour after you are finished shooting it.
