I miss you guys!!
 

Hey everybody!!! It's been a long time since I stopped in to say whats up. vBulletin got alot further along in the versions than I thought it would since I was on here last time. I might be on here quite a bit more in about 5 months or so. I don't know if most or some of you remember, but I joined the military a couple years back and I absolutely love it. Only one bad thing has gotten in the way.... I'm being medically discharged in about 5 months :(. I really don't want to get out, especially like this, but apparently there's some other plans for me, doing something else. Maybe now, I'll have time to take care of my forum and bring some mods that I've made back to life if they don't work with the newer versions of vBulletin. I'm going to have quite a few stories for everybody as well after I get separated, all the awesome things I've seen and done as a Hospital Corpsman (NEC 8404, if any of you know what that means ;). If not, I'll tell you later). I might even post one up tomorrow if I get time.

Talk to you all soon,
Redlinemotorsports, USN

Hi Brooks, long time no see... :)

good to see you're still alive.... so you're discharged for what? broke a nail? (i know militaries are tough sometimes!)

hey, yeah, will be good to have your stuff upgraded, because there is a lack of upgrades here lately.. :)

No, I wish nexia. I found out I have a bad heart (Myocardial bridging and Inappropriate sinus tachycardia) and the military is worried about me having a heart attack or something while I'm out running with the Marines. I can P.T and keep up and doing everything just as good or better than some Marines but they still want to separate me to I guess cover themselves.

Hey Brooks.

Good to see you Sir.
Look forward in our endless nights of chat and code ideas.

:D

Trust me, take your honorable or medical discharge and go with it. You don't want to end up having to depend on the VA to take care of you should something actually happen!

welocome back again

Hey! how u doing man! :up:

Nah! think in yourself...

That's the worst part.....they (the military) aren't giving me any disability. I am driving up to Washington, DC next month for a formal hearing so hopefully I'm going to leave with some prcentage after that

I wish you Good Luck, if it makes you feel any better the British Army is just as bad, Too much politics and too many government officials diverting money away from the armed services.

When a guy on the front line loses both legs from a landmine gets ?50,000 compensation and a Secretary in the Ministry of Defence in london gets ?600,000 for RSI injury to her thumb, you know its time to get out.

Good Luck Buddy

:up:

they are in need of veterans in Burundi, if you are interested in a life after the army... (ok, this joke is good, isn't it)

:erm::erm: just keep taking the pills nexy, you'll be alright soon :D:rolleyes:

the blue or the green one UKBL?

btw, that's not only a joke but a fact... 3 weeks ago, one of my cousin was contacted by the Burundi 's Office to see if he was available to train newcomers in their army because he is now a veteran with medals and he was respected in his work within the UN... pathetic, but real.

I think people need to be extra careful with their dealings with some african countries, look at what happened to Mark Thacher, Margaret Thachers, Son.

Beats me how these Countries can beg for food, in one hand and buy millions of dollars of weapons from china and russia in the other.

For years people have been donating to African countries, and in all these years they still havn't managed to get it sorted, the only people that profit are the aid angencies :mad:

An estimated 250,000 people died in Burundi between 1962 and 1993 :eek:

Plus lets not forget the genocide of Rwanda, which is only next door where millions have died in fighting.

He's not going is he nexy ??? :eek:

no, actually my cousin continue to work with the UN as a consultant, even if he was released from command... he said he would even go to Irak next year with the UN when the USA will retreive their forces... so i suppose he is in better situation than planned.. :)

Yeah that's really sad.
