OH, here is a little note to civilians that was sent to me. I think it just made too much sense even that it is meant strictly for humor.... No it is not politically correct, but then neither am I. If you like it great, if you don't, simply quit reading it as it is not being forced on you.

Dear Civilians,

We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation have many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas we would like your assistance.

1) The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem ... kick their ass.

2) When you witness firsthand someone burning the American Flag in protest... kick their ass.

3) Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these Veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these Veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold themdown while a Disabled Veteran... kicks their ass.

4) (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDU's), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay if you were still seven. Now, it will only make you look stupid and.... get your ass kicked.

5) Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass kicking (children are exempt).

6) If you witness someone calling the U.S. Coast Guard non-military, inform them of their mistake... and kick their ass.

7) Next time Old Glory (U.S. flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her...of course failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass kicking.

8) What Jane Fonda did during the Vietnam War makes her the enemy. The proper word to describe her is "traitor." Just mention her nomination for "Woman of the Year"... and get your ass kicked.

9) Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans and we all bleed the same regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command, is to include our commander in Chief. The President (for those who didn't know) is our CIC regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives" meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. The military member might direct you to Oliver North. (I can see him kicking your ass already.)

10) "Your mama wears combat boots" never made sense to me... stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore, could kick your ass!

11) Bin Laden and the Taliban are not communists, so stop saying "Let's go kill those Commie's!!!" And stop asking us where he is!!!! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me ... if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers; let me know, so I can go kick their ass.

12) Flyboy (Air Force), Jar Head (Marines), Grunt (Army), Squid (Navy) etc, are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked.

14) Last but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of sailors and troops far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked.

- "It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.

- It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

- It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.

- It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.

HUAH!

What can I say; the war in Iraq has intervened in the current course of my life, as well as several thousand others. Currently I am assigned to the US Army Reserves 282nd Quartermaster Company out of Montgomery Alabama. The people have so far been pretty congenial and I am starting to fit in, not an easy task for a stranger as strange as myself! The pictures behind this link were hastilly put out here for your consumption. Thanks for understanding that and just taking the time to enjoy them. Upon our return to the states I will have more for upload as well. ...and then here is a message to civilians! It is at the bottom of this page, but clicking HERE is a shortcut directly to it!
If you should have any questions that I can answer feel free to hit the link at the bottom of the page (The Later2day Logo) as it will open your E-Mail client and my military email address will be there. As of yet we only have a temporary snail mail address, so that cannot be included. IF for any reason you want to email anyone in the unit and don't have thier email address feel free to send it to me and I will get it to them! -SGT Rossbach-

This is a Powerpoint Presentation of photos from the Operation Iraqi Freedom. Watch it and be PROUD of our troops. One of the photos is of troops in front of an M4 rifle that has a bayonet attached and stuck into the ground in front of a pair of boots with a kevlar helmet and dog tags hanging from it. This signifies a fallen soldier, and they are paying thier respects. Some are giving all, and all deserve your support. **If you cannot open the file then right click on the link and select "Save Target As..." and save the file on your system in a location that you can remember. Once there just double click on it and it will play if you have either Powerpoint or the Powerpoint Viewer.
If you don't have Powerpoint on your computer then you can download the viewer here: Powerpoint Viewer
Jump Pics. Pretty self explanitory. I took these on a jump out at Malmsheim Germany. The helicopter is a UH-60 and the weather was perfect. Page 3 has some nice shots of what it is like to jump from a helicopter. I am on page 2 at the bottom in the middle row. Last guy on the right in the main door waiting to lift so that I can jump too.

Bored? Play some mini golf! Someone emailed this to me and I thought it was kinda cool. If you know who created this let me know and I will be happy to give them proper credit for their efforts! **The file is 850kb so it will take a bit to download if your connection is slow...be patient though, it's pretty cool.
