the BBQ sounds like a plan! i will def. be there! yea, maybe some of the socal peeps here will come too. B) as far as being a mod, its pretty cool. i get to lock up threads and tell peeps to chill the f*** out when they get out of line. hope this dam war is over next week so you and all the other troops can come home early. BTW, found out my cousin shipped out last week and is with the army's 3rd infantry. they are under fire in basra right now. he is a state trooper so he should do fine, but he's only 22. he doesnt even have time to acclimate. he was flown to an airfield in iraq and then was driven to the front with the rest of his division, so its like within a 24 hr period, he went from saying goodbye to his family to being at the front lines! they would have shipped out with the rest f the 3rd infantry, but his unit's commanding officer was arrested for something and they needed to get a new commander. wack isnt it?
