Fort Sill Oklahoma

Our WTC (Warrior Transition Course) class
graduates in 3 days, after that we continue on with various schoolings, trainings, back to civilian life etc.
As for me, I continue to Ft Benning, Georgia for AIT / Advanced Infantry Training and after that, will find out where my next duty station will be for my 3yrs 5 months Army enlistment.
 
So much has happened to me in training,
and most of it good stuff too. I've been able to push my 42yr old body and complete most of the day to day PhysicalTraining that the Drill Sgts make us do.
On the other hand, I pulled something in my knee while sprinting and medical gave me a brace and put me on 5 day limited duty pass (meaning that I could still walk, run, march etc and not get sent to medical hold and miss graduation)  I'm old, but am here for this brief time.
 
It's an honor to serve.
already we've gone through riflle marksmanship and we've done Convoy exercises and Clearing Rooms.
Fun fun stuff that I hope I get to do for reals over in Iraq or Afghanistan
 
Lovs,
theSam!!
 
PFC / Private First Class  Samuel L Flyinghorse,

Poop Moose Has Bottomed Out!!!

theSam!! says: I found this story online. And it's sad.. *lifts head and eats* to see that a true Alaskan cultural icon like this has to FALL by the wayside. And ann... *lifts head and eats* I see these items in stores all over the place too. We even got one. But the niftiest thing was theCollapsible Alaskan Outhouse. It was like,,, a puzzle. And you'd assemble it and stand it up. Then an unsuspecting person (preferably someone that ISN'T Alaskan) comes along and see the cute curio and grabs the tiny Outhouse door to peek inside and...... *Crash!!* ...the whole set up collapses. Anyway, on with theMoose story. I mean... *lifts head and eats* at the height of this guys success. which for a REAL Moose would be about 5.4feet considering that the...the.. you know..

But to scale these items down to 1/11000th scale that means theDrop!! would only be 5" give or take a millimeter. *awkward silence.....before lifting the head and eating some more* I mean.. at ...

Institute Director Resigns from the Mormon church

SHOOTING THE MESSENGER By Ken Clark I need to admit up right away that I’m a little bitter. I feel lied to and used. The church had every opportunity to be truthful from the time my wife and I took the discussions to the time we left. Out of the Mormon Church My wife and I left the LDS Church on August 7th, 2002, the same day that I resigned as Institute Director of the Pullman Washington Institute of Religion, and the LDS Church Education System (CES). I had worked full-time for CES for 27 years. I’m also a former bishop, high councilman, stake young men’s president, high priest’s group leader, ward mission leader, ward young men’s president, and more. I wasn’t a casual Mormon who lived on the fringes. I had been seriously looking for another job for some time due to harassment from Priesthood (PH) leaders and CES administrators. I couldn’t take it anymore. They were not crazy about my teaching style. I was honest in a gentle way with institute students about the church’s history and ...

Alaska Village Tales

This is from theAnchorage Daily News, online edition, which I'm accessing at 0512hrs on 01 Sat 2007 Murder over $20 in drugs nets 75 years in prison ALASKA DIGEST Published: September 1, 2007 Last Modified: September 1, 2007 at 01:50 AM FAIRBANKS -- A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for shooting another man twice in the head over a bungled $20 marijuana deal. David Cox was sentenced Thursday in Fairbanks Superior Court. Cox went to trial in February on charges of first-degree murder and evidence tampering in the death of Gary Lee Titus, 22, on July 22, 2006. But Cox pleaded no contest to the murder charge before the case went to a jury. Cox's attorney, Susan Carney, maintains that Cox drew his .22-caliber handgun and began firing because he thought Titus, who was accompanied by six or seven other young men, had planned to rob him. Prosecutor Jeff O'Bryant said that Cox meant to kill Titus in an act of bravado. A tattoo on one of Cox's forearms s...
