mlw1013..WElcome if you have any question just yell .Most of us are either retired or are Veterans and have also been in the forum for quiet some time and support each other so post away.By the way we don't have very many Air Force posting in here.

Welcome young lady as sully1 said we will do what we can to help you.

Thanks all for your kinds words! I am sure I will have many questions soon and I am fully prepared for a bunch of stuff to break/fail right after he leaves for Qatar.

It's a given that it will.

Hails! I am Elizabeth Archuleta from Renton, Wa. I am 24, and take care of my 5 time war vet with 9 deployments under his belt. SSG Sven Rawlins is the light of my life, and proud of him. Never thought I would be an ARMY girlfriend, but with SSG Rawlins I could not help it.

The older I get the more I want to befriend those who truly deserve to be on this Earth such as the men, and women of our armed forces. Glad I found this site. This should be fun.

Many thanks to all our troops on this who without your service to America I would never be so lucky as to live in a killer country!

One day I shall gather a chart of people I have known that have gone to war. My most recent is SPC Chuck Mannen, my good friend of 11 years.

I have a tendancy to have much to say. I hope you guys don't mind reading. *LOL*

Welcome, Elizabeth..

now shut up and buy the beers...or didn't your many military friends tell you that the newbies have to buy a round for all the others who beat you to the site??

Sheesh, the yoof of today.. no sense of tradition...

when I was a lad.....[ Rocketeer slowly fades into sleep in his rocking chair, dribbling into his pilsner ]

Ewwwwwww! Beer? YUCK! Only beer I drink is fermented cider, other than that it's whiskey, and merlot. None the less I found this site on my own last night. I decided that a fourm fill of troops, and supporters would be a nice breather from debateing with idiots as to their retarded reasons why I shouldn't support the military. *tosses Rocketeer a shot of whiskey*

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Elizabeth....Welcome aboard I hope you stay around most of us have been around since the begining of the forum.I only drink seven -up and I can speak for most of the people here we cheerish someone who supports our Troops and it is a breath of fresh air with all of the News Media belly-ackeing and their so called Patriotism.I guess it really makes the 03% that support this Country stand out more & more everyday.And Thank the friends that you mentione above for their Services.

By the way Rocketeer you better not go back to sleep REMEMBER THAT HONEY DO LIST the Padre gave you.

Sully:

thank you for your support and encouragement.. As it happens I am [temporarily ] in the Good Padre's good books by virtue of having replaced the shower head just last night with a snazzy new ultra massaging thingabob that soothes her after a ruck march..

Elizabeth, my dear.. thank you for your offer, but.. I do not drink ' whiskey' only 'whisky', and, believe me, my dear.. there IS a difference... [ and, not to be too indelicate, but, just how 'friendly' are you with the military??.. you see the Good Padre does travel extensively and one does pine for -um- ..

Yes, Dear.. be right there!! ]

Well, Rocketeer one of these days I will learn to not say much in the am. It would not be the first time I have miss-spelt something due to just waking up. *tosses you a shot of whisky with a beer back* I do love all you troops, but I am a sneeze away from being engaged, and hard-core about SSG Rawlins being the only man for me. He and I have a strong bond with black metal, so if you and I met in person it would only be as friends. I am not one of those kinds of women who will cheat on their man. I would be happy to see about finding you a woman if possible.

Sully, I find it sickening how many don’t support the troops. I firmly believe that one should be a true patriot and support those who fight for your rights. I fully understand that while people are like snowflakes, in that not a single one is the same as the other. One can disagree with the politics of a war, but at least support those fighting so you don’t have to, I say. I shall thank my soldiers for you. I am sure that they will smile at a comrade thanking them.

I also want you all to know that in the past I have been an ear for the troops. I have counseled many free of charge and my p.m box is open 24/7 if you need to vent, or if just simply b.sing helps you as well. I feel that it Is the least I can do for you. I am not the type that likes to just say “thank you” and think that’s good enough.

Now here is the shocker, and a breath of fresh air; I am a Satanist, and black metal goddess! Now pick your jaw up from the floor. Ha ha ha ha!

Oh, and Sully. *hands you a six pack of Seven up*

Elizabeth!!

Anton LeVay??

well, I do declare... In the interest of being 'ecumenical' in her duties, the Good Padre has a copy of the ' Satanist Bible' on the shelf, right next to the Koran, the Talmud, The Book of Mormon and a host of 'authorized and correct versions of the Bible showing the 'one true enlightened path' to the higher plane...[ not to mention stuff on Ba'hai, Hindu's, Shinto, Confucianism and a raft of other 'isms ' [ she's got to keep up with the 'trends' ..those quirky Wiccans, God(ess) love 'em ]

made for very interesting reading..

mayhaps we need to start a new thread for further deep discussions?..Nothing stimulates 'debate' better than politics, like "Religion".

Tell me, do you have one of them skimpy satin outfits with the big collared capes? I just looooove... oh, ah... well.. getting off topic a bit...

Rocketeer, aren't you confussing it with S&M?

*hands Mech a cup of coffee*

Rocketeer, I am a Spiritual Satansit. Vastly different from a LaVey Satansit. No, I am not a baby, or virgin killer. Otherwise my M.P wouldd have a bit of an issue on his hands. I will happly talk about my religion, but I no longer debate it. I did start an all topics go chat thread in the "Off topic" area. I will be back in 8 or so hours after work. Talk to you then! Have a great day guys! Hopefully my spelling is alright this am hahaha!
