  1. Well, that's a healthy skepticism to have and I agree with you. It can harbor abuse and fraud away from the general public. Which is why there are checks and balances that exist. The number of people in the U.S. with that kind of clearance is actually in the millions, believe it or not. Many military attorneys, panels, government inspectors, civillians, contractors, ect. . Believe me, there's no "Power" of Secret rule is a bad description. It's better described as "Pain in the ass burden that I have to mind my p's and q's at all times" of Secret rule. You don't trust the govt or military with secrets. Truth is, I don't trust the civilian population with being able to keep secrets either. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  2. Now we are getting closer. There isn't any that say that no damage was done. I have been in for 15 years so far. It's hard to keep mouths shut. Everyone likes to share a secret. Especially if some of the top brass are saying things that are not true. Here, Senior leadership is saying that damage was done. But nobody is coming forward and saying that it's all bullshit. Sometimes its about what you don't hear. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  3. Shah will be around soon enough to say: "Typical IT professional." Was this guy trying to look Western or something? He's wearing a hat, belt buckle, levis(??!!) all never found at a tack shop or western wear outlet. I wonder if some people got an impression he was some sort of rancher. He doesn't even fit the "redneck" bill. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  4. And quite possibly no one is - because quite possibly, that information does not exist. This is much easier for you to believe. Have you noticed all those active duty military types saying that there was no harm done? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

    Too skinny?

    I think you are using "healthy" as an opinion here. But it's hard to gauge whose "healthier". Your photo is a product of lights and airbrushiing. Shah's photo is taken in bad lighting pre-runway that is creating shadows. Now, I'm not saying that i'm into segosaurs. I'm not partial to "air cooled" women. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  6. Like I said before. You are not privy to that information. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

    USMC or SS?

    Don't forget about pirates of the past few centuries. Many forgot how horrible a people they were. Makes good movies though. . . _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

    Nothing wrong with her. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  9. Got it. You threw a pretty cool party that required cops to intervene. Unfortunately, some dipshit kid lied about his age or managed to find him(usually a "her") at the party at the time and now you are on the hook. Because you like Spongebob as quoted on your profile, I won't judge you. They, however, may have already. Tell the truth. Minors sneak in all the time. What do you got to lose. Wrong...no one lied about their age nor did I provide any minors with alcohol or anything....LOOOOONG ass story short, my past self had issues, roommate came home to me on the floor not breathing, insto-facto 911 and an ambulance later I get arrested the next day Damn. . my theory was more fun to hypothesize. Truthfully though, you made a personal mistake. It wasn't you being a deviant asshole, it was a phase when shit just catches up. Explaining it as such, who knows? Why lie at that point. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

  11. That bulletin doesn't tell one if the case was dropped or prosecuted. Was this arrest because you were a minor that got busted drinking? that is what this sounds like. But I had to admit, it took me a few reads to realize that this wasn't a "contributing to a deliquency of a Minor" which in my book is unexcusable and deserves that kind of scrutiny. Maybe that's what they thought. If this pops up in an interview again, probably good to ask what they thought that dispatch meant. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  12. But only due to having lived there for a *considerably long time* - since 70s when prop 13 passed? Or does a direct family inheritance avoid a step up in tax basis? Prop 58 protects reassessment of primary homes and the first 1M of secondary or other homes. We only pay $600 a year on a home we inherited in OB. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  13. Just make sure you scrutinize your contract thoroughly before you rent out. Depending on what type of bond your mortgage is packaged in, you may not be able to. Don't refinance through any institution that uses tax exempt bonds, for example. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

  15. Wait!! It gets better. Protesters are protesting her. . .protest.

  16. You know fully well that this kind of reference antagonizes the women who read this forum. You're deliberately baiting them. Sigh god...ok ok ok....told you this hasn't been easy for me! OK the fashionably, socially and somewhat mentally challenged chemical engineer with the PhD who is assumed to have two X chromosones. That better? Carol works with you guys now??!!! _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  17. Funny. Anyone actually know the name of that score (the one the ring tone emulates)? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

    Tramp Stamp.

  21. I don't know if that is a lesser adrenaline sport. How many grounds try to gore you after you have landed on it? Anyone remember Bodacious? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  22. It's actually pretty easy. handling a ship is a skill that no technology replaces. Hell, we have that issue with our warships in the Navy. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  23. Actually, thats very close to what we do. Physicals, feed them, extra food ect. . . Standard procedure. Now the aircraft carrier thing. They would have to get them on the carrier first. But since it was the USS Ross that did the boarding and rescue, Im sure they are there. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
