Being in a infantry unit as a infantryman for 4 years training for 4 years to go to Afghanistan to at the last minute be switched to the BSTB and sent to Kuwait instead thus throwing out the previous 4 years of combat training and all credit of being the best company in tha battalion the "tip of the spear" getting all the hooah missions and constant deployments in te past and goin above and beyond just went right out the window. Ya wanna see 130 irritated grumpy ticked off guys come look at my company.

By going to Kuwait it's a good bet your chances of staying alive have dramatically increased, sounds like a pretty good thing to me, bet your wife and kids are pretty happy too.

By the way, everyone is coming home.

It is and in a way I'm glad because it's almost a sure bet I'm coming home in one piece. But the 11bravo in me is ticked and disappointed it's kinda like practicing your flipping and pitching gearing up for big bass battles to go fish for sunfish with a bobber lol. Good thing I didn't go buy all that cool looking gear though won't need it in Kuwait. They are talking bout doing some cool training though like air assault school and expert infantry badge if I can get 1 or both I'd be happy as hell. Plus things right next door to Kuwait are heating up but I HIGHLY doubt they will send a guard unit from upstate New York in. I hope it's all talk though that would be one nasty fight.

Glade you don't have to be in the nasty mix! Be safe wherever you land!

Go to www.topix.com and put in your local zip code then go to discussion. That should be enough said...I get amused, and disgusted by the amount of craziness and ignorant people that runs amok on that site. Makes me never wanna go back to the town I went to high school. On other hand, it's probably like that nearly everywhere else...

When your on the phone with some one and they are talking to you plus everyone else in te background. You never know who they are talking to you or some one there with them. I can't stand it. It's so frustrating

I hate the fact that when growing up JET SKIS, AND SKIERS were the worst watercraft in the lake, as far as being rude, inconsiderate, ignorant, etc.

NOW IT'S FISHERMAN you can count on a FISHERMAN to buzz by you close, cut you off on a spot, motor past so close you could pee on them, etc.

Without question, around me anyway, the worst people on the lake are fisherman.

Also hate how club tournament fisherman, fishing for $75 in winnings think they own the lake

AND think they are the next KVD

Not much bothers me. One thing that does irritate me is the term trash fish. To me trash is something I put out at the curb on trash day. As far as fish goes, I like catching all of them, big or small, tasty or not. I find it almost comical that some may tout a certain species as something really special, when in fact they are pretty easy to catch, very common, don't fight too hard and not all that tasty. Then call a fish that can strip out 50-75 yards of line in an eye blink, give you fight that you'll never forget, and are very sporting to catch, since some are not classified as a "game fish", call them trash. That being the case, some one else can have the treasure, I'll take the trash.

60 foot yachts chugging along at 12 knots kicking out a 3 foot wake as they pass by 10 yards away to where you are fishing. Jet skies. Or a 60 yacht chugging along at 12 knots kicking out a 3 foot wake passing by 10 yards away from where I'm fishing, that has a pack of jet skiers zig-zagging behind it jumping the wakes.

People fishing off the dock at the boat ramp that get an attitude when you tie up to the dock to go get your truck and trailer.

People diving/swimming off the dock at the boat ramp that get an attitude when you tie up to the dock to go get your truck and trailer.

Geese, ducks, gulls or any other feathered vermin that approach my boat looking for a handout.

Pulling in 100 yard of mono that some slob was too lazy to put in the trash and instead tossed it into the lake.

People who back halfway down a single lane boat ramp, lift the cowling off their outboard, and start working on it, starting this about 5 seconds before you tie up to the dock, sounds unbelievable, but I've had it happen to me twice over the years.

Here one I hear often on a day like today. It grinds my gear when someone say, "I hate Monday." I find it stupid to have a mood base on day of week it is. I dictate a good day base on what going happen, not the actual day. Today is a beautiful day, it only so-so because I'm still on crutches and I'm spending it inside doing accounting rather than enjoying the beautiful day outside..

People that butcher a sentence by inserting the word "like" at every pause. I once overheard a conversation that had no less than 25 "likes" in it!!

Im guilty of it but I change "like" to "f-in" I have a bad mouth I drop f bombs like no other it's usually when I'm riled up it's every other word or on pauses like you said. Guys get a kick of keeping track how many times i say it.

I agree completely.

I hate when people say they have a case of the Monday's. It's so stupid.

I also hate when I'm in class and the teacher asks why everyone is so quiet and people say because it's Monday.

Really? What did you do Sunday night that has you hating Mondays so much?

I used to be guilty of that. Only I pretty much incorporated everyday into it. Mondays I was usually in the worst shape though. I drank with a vengeance Friday thru Sunday night. Wasn't as bad the rest of the week though. Awwww who am I kidding. I was torn up from the floor up, all week. I eventually found the cure to it. I just quit going to class.

I eventually found the cure to that too. I gave up getting drunk.

I can understand that.

That's what I like about my school though. I don't have class on Fridays.

I can drink and do whatever I want on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday without a problem (except for money).

I don't think I'll ever give up drinking, but I sure as hell will always go to class.

Dont get it twisted. I still drink. Just not to the extent.

My buddy set his schedule up two semesters to where he only had classes, Tuesdays and Thursdays. said that way he always had a four day weekend.

Wow, that sounds nice.

Four day weekends would be awesome, but I think I'd run out of money pretty quick.

He ran out after two weeks. Bad part was monday he was doing homework for Tuesdays classes and Wednesday he was doing his homework for Thursdays classes. We never saw him Monday thru Thursday because of this.

Alcohol sucks. With that said, I went to a bikini contest the night before a final exam and showed up at an accounting final reek of smoke and booze. Ah, good times. I made an A in that accounting class. That was last year and the last accounting class I made an A in. Last semester I ended up with two Cs and all Bs. Screw Federal Income!

Should have smoked more. The theory is. Study high, take the test high, get high scores.

Never worked for me. However my roommate wound up with straight A's doing that.

It don't work. However, studying then being high to rid anxiety then taking test next day has been proven to achieve a score of a 90, twice. So I've heard. I've also heard it helps you get in zone on certain topics when it comes to writing papers. As long as it's proofread before turning it in.

I'm a pretty patient and easy going guy but liars and stupid people will set me off like a bottle rocket.

1. People who thinks there better cause they are from the north!

2. People who thinks they are a pro and can't catch a bream on a cricket!

3. People who thinks wearing a shirt with fishing logos they are a pro!

4. People who thinks they should own the boat ramp and take there time!

5. People who thinks they are big and bad behind the key board!

6. People like myself that has no clue how to fish a new lake and wins a tourney!
