Hey jet jock, Take a zoloft dude. Before you go shoving your military experience up my ass I'd like to let you know that I have 11 years on submarines. I've walked on the North Pole twice, been in National Geographic for performing the proto "Scice-ex" mission, travelled completely around the globe, bounced all over Europe, spent 94 days at a shot without seeing the light of day, been chased by Russian submarines and just returned from a 6 month tour in the United Arab Emirates, roasting my ass off on tiny, but heavily armed patrol boats (like the old 'Nam river rats) chasing off would-be suicide jockeys looking to make a repeat of the USS Cole incident. I still have 7 years to go until retirement so I'm sure I'm not done yet. Lastly, I AM a parent. Spare me your "rush" speech. You can do what you like with your DeLorean. I merely meant that it's a private and rewarding experience for ME to work on MY car. I don't care what others do to or with theirs. If you recall the flap on the DML regarding parting out cars and who thinks it's sacreligious and who doesn't, I never posted a comment to that bitch session because I thought it was silly. I don't care what people do with their stuff, I only know how I feel about MY stuff. Finally, I'd like to say that the mark of a true soldier/sailor/airman, is that he doesn't feel the need to brag about his exploits because he's only done his duty as was required when he took the Oath. That you feel the need to do so to gain acceptance makes me sad, and I'm angry at myself for being goaded by you into posting my experience like I'm a guy searching for hero-worship. For the rest of you: Rest assured, I am not looking for your admiration or respect because of my time in the Navy, and I'm sorry I posted it. It was not intended to be a "brag sheet" and I'd just assume it was forgotten.
