Interested in rockets?

I know I am. Today I looked deeper into my MOS (military occupation specialty) that I will be acquiring in the fall. My MOS is 13 Delta (Field Artillery Automated Tactical Data System Specialist). Sounds pretty fancy.

My main job: Primarily responsible for operating field artillery tactical data systems on a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Team. :O , :D, XD and so on.

Seems pretty high speed and I think it will be sweet. For more info checkout GoArmy.com

The SAW

SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) is awesome. At National Guard this weekend we had competitions taking them apart and putting them back together. The fact that you can remove the barrel easily when it gets to hot and slam another one in there makes it a bad as machine gun. What is the SAW you ask? Every play Counter-Strike? Its the M249 under the "Machine Gun" category in the gun buy menu....

Natural Selection? I think so..

Out on the lake across the street there is some open water. It has been getting warmer here so the ice is starting to melt. There are also a lot of people who like to ice fish. (you can see where I am going already). Somebody was dumb enough to put up a shanty like 20 feet from open water. I would like to say they checked the thickness of the ice but who knows. Now whats bad about this (even if the ice was thick there) is the fact there is open water so close, that the ice might start to crack and then break and spread to where he is.

So next time you are doing something think "Is what I am doing/about to do dumb?"

So whats new?

Its been a while since I last posted so what the hay, I figured I would throw out some random stuff.

My addiction to Mountain Dew leads to me drinking it everyday. So, last week I finally hit a week where it wasn't on sale. A 2ltr of Mountain Dew cost me $1.70 !!!! The store I normally go to, I quit going because if you use a Debit/Credit card(ie. says the word "Debit" on it) they have to use Debit which charges an extra $1 and I am not going to pay $2.50-$2.70 for a 2ltr. So anyways, the sale started back up again and now its 5 2ltr Pepsi products for $5. So I bought 5 2ltr's of Moutain Dew and will have to stock up on a few more once we get close to the weekend.

On another note, I am awaiting for the approval of my application to use the UPS Ready Program (XML Api for a project I am doing).
