That's why we have moderators.

I agree that her treatment is BS, Put her ass on report and send it up the chain. The WO in this case is too worried about looking bad and not having his people under control. As you well know too, the military is not a democracy nor should it be one. Why don't you fill out a request chit for Captains Mast and walk it up the chain with your grievance. Just make sure your record is squeaky clean. I guarantee you won't get past your warrant officer but it will bring his attention to the issue.

We just moved from Washington to Colorado and depending on where you are in the state you can check on cat odoption centers that can take the kittens and find them homes. They'll also help you with the the best recipes for preparation,..... I mean recommendations for care until they are old enough. Ask a local non-puppy mill type of pet store about PAWS or look on the internet for their info. I'm not sure what areas they cover in Washington. By the way,....we get more sunshine than you!

It would be nice to see a moderator delete this thread.

There are two main DZs in Oregon. One is in Eugene with, I believe two seperate and competing companies. Oh, Big John is in Madras, great group there too. The main one is Skydive Oregon in Molalla which is about 30 minutes outside Portland. That's where my wife and I started. Awesome DZ and staff. It was more difficult leaving the people at the DZ than leaving my family in Portland. In fact we even miss them more. SDO has a Turbo Otter and a Caravan. They don't give the tandems priority seats either. Let me know if you want more info.

Thanks for all the info on riggers, I appreciate the help and PMs.

Just moved to Evergreen and I need a rigger in Longmont.

I didn't even read this thread other than the subject line. See my thread "House of Bush House of Saud"

Ok, I'm back. Didn't the governement issue the findings in the 9/11 report?

OK, I've had 3 Gin amrtinis and need time to mull Sundevils response over in the morning. It looks good. This is the kind of thread I like. Peoples opinions and good discussion.

I agree about the bigger picture, enter the Carlyle Group and Bin Laden Group [two companies]. This is just the basic summary of the book. It also goes into details about the connections between the Saudis and Arab non-profit organizations in the US that funneled money to known terrorists. The connections with The Carlyle Group and the Saudis; how they hire top politicians to help the CG buy failing defense companies so they can inturn get huge contracts from the government due to their connections. How 140 Arabs were able to fly out of the country after 9/11 when all aircraft were grounded. The CIA either wasn't aware or was ordered by the white house to not ask them questions and just get them out of the country. The CIA knows they let suspects travel back to Saudi Arabia only to spend months tracking those same suspects down later and arrest them in other countries. I'm pretty skeptical about anything I read or see on TV but this book is a must read in my opinion. The book House of Bush House of Saud was actually written by Craig Unger. I do need to read the two books written by Robert Baer too. How were they? I'm half way into "Against All Enemies" by Richard Clarke. The book has some interesting information but I'm finding it to be slanted in it's presentation. There's a surprise. What do you think about prosecuting Bush for some of the implications made by Craig Unger?

Has anyone else read this book? Very interesting account of 9/11 and the relationships between the Bush family and the Carlyle Group.

Since we have separation of church from state and corporations have clearly taken over politics and dictate policy and law to their advantage why shouldn't they be separated. At what point are we going to say enough is enough? Is it only an issue [problem] if it affects ME, YOU or a particular individual. We are constantly lied to by the Democrats and the Republicans but we just laugh and say "That's a politician for ya". In the mean time we have lost our country to big business and now our freedoms are being taken away as well.

My apologies, Michael Moore is not the filmaker. From Netflix: This documentary charts the spectacular rise of corporations as a dramatic, pervasive presence in our lives. Filmmakers Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott present a timely, entertaining critique of global conglomerates as they chronicle the origins of corporations, as well as their inner workings, controversial impacts and possible futures. The pros and cons are weighed via interviews with social critics such as Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore. So I can back to thinking he's a dirtbag.
