Current If we win here we will win everywhere. The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

Bio

Interests and Experiences It is best to write about that which you know, rather than to fictionalize what you don't know. Go out into the world and experience what you want to know. Then write about those experiences.

This be a hardcore mili-stim?


A wargame
I'm starting on something, but I may not get it posted until Monday.
@Gunther I have read the OPORD in the 0th post of the In Character thread. I believe I understand what we are doing. I have a few questions...

Notes:
    - I have no attachments, nor am I detaching any units to the others.
    - My battalion is the Brigade main effort focusing on the armor threat at Hill 140.
    - There appears to be obstacles at 25.53, 25.54 & 25.55. I assume these are Anti-Tank mines? Maybe anti-personnel mines?
    - There appears to be three mechanized infantry platoons dug into the built up area on the north side of my breach point. A company CP to the left and one 750 meters to the north of the river.
    - There is also one company of tanks on Hill 140.
    - I assume, I must pretend I do not see them yet. That I must roll to spot them and then roll to hit and destroy them?
    - What should the remainder of my battalion do, once we have secured objective SABLYA and a company establishes an Ambush or Support by Fire position at the north end of that road, to the right of the Sokol Group?

I am neither a dragon or any other form of reptillian...unfortunately.
My theory is, older people have better handwriting because teachers taught handwriting classes in Elementary school. That is a lost art. My son, who is 14 years old cannot write in cursive at all. I ask him to sign a card for his aunt's birthday and I have to show him how to sign his own name before he can duplicate it.
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. I speak of my neighbor of course.
I live below someone who appears to not give a rat's ass about anything.
How's that OPORD coming @Gunther?
Are we playing Battleship or not? Why did this long haired neighbor interfere with my game with the other writer above?
The home-buying process is becoming a tad frustrating for me since my options on properties are more limited than normal due to the fact that I’m getting a VA loan.

I just need to start meditating or something.


How are they limited? I bought my first house through VA with no problem and then refinanced my second home through VA. What conditions are they setting that limit you?
