Be the most squared away individual at BCT and AIT. Max the AFPT each and every time, keep your gig line straight and wear the uniform with pride.

Be above standard, not just the standard.

Just my personal .02 cents...

Don't bring it up to talk about directly unless you have some concrete proof.

1. He'll just deny it and make you feel like you are going crazy and put a lot of blame on you. 2. You may not be correct (but gut instincts should be listened too). 3. If he is cheating, he'll just start being more careful about it. 4. The truth will come out eventually anyway unless he's James Bond and he knows you are onto him.

Just take your time, act oblivious, and wait until you know for certain.

Just my opinion.

But I do have to say, if you are looking to buy and if you are stable enough financially - now is a good time.

...as Belushi already did. Sorry didn't see the response.

A mess to some people, an opportunity to some people.

Gypsy, from what I understand - this whole deal is arising from over-eager lending for home buyers that couldn't necessarily keep up with payments (over-extending). Someone more knowledgeable in real-estate can probably kick in with a better explanation...

I feel ya man. =/

My situation is a little different though. I keep getting mail, email, and phone calls (months after the end) from marriage planners, wedding photographers, bakeries, florists, etc... seems I ended up on a marketing list when I inquired about some locations for a ceremony after I got engaged to her and before we broke up.

Kind of makes it hard to forget. lol

Good to meet everyone.

Pearlman: Where did you go to AIT? Ft. Leonard Wood?

I'm working on 10 years now. Over half way to retirement! =D

Yeah, that's my old Labrador and yup that's an Apache Longbow.

Names Andrew by the way.

Alright, knew a few guys that got to train in Oman on a regular basis there from that unit.

Larry Timson - IDF?

Good to meet you AbelDanielt. Have you met/trained with anyone from the US 5th SFG there?

What country/branch?

AbelDanielt: by JCO do you mean Joint Commission Observer?

Command and Conquer: Red Alert - that was my all-time favorite.

Homeworld, Age of Empires (and following series).

Of course all the Blizzard RTSs too.

Kohan wasn't well known, but the multi-player on it was insane. A really well designed game.

From personal experience, I agree with dc and John.

Only thing I would add is: when you do confront, be mentally prepared for a *strong*, emotional denial and finger pointing back at you. All the more reason to be sure and have some sort of proof.

Truth has a way of coming out over time in relationships.

But I don't know about the rest of the guys here, but I love the fact that women are different from men... men are all hairy and icky. Women are beautiful. But I'll be grateful and celebrate that difference in my own special way. ;D

Right, right. =D

I'm still undecided on the issue on what to do with illegal immigrants that are already here...

I'm Libertarian in most of my views and would prefer the government stay out of the lives of people who live and work here already as long as they aren't hurting anyone...

But I think csi1994, that a lot of people argue that *legal* immigration is better for everyone involved, including immigrants. Which I can understand as well. It's not fair that illegal immigrants are getting all the benefits at the expense of people that are legally applying to come here.

It's a big gray area without an easy solution in any case and I'm glad it's finally being addressed politically.

Aren't we all just contradicting ourselves?

But aren't there differences in people? Is it better to pretend everyone is the same regardless of religion, sex, culture, society, etc... or to recognize and respect those differences?
