    Default The Military Thread

    Seems as if there are a few of us on the boards currently serving and a few more who have previously served. Let this place be the place for story telling, questions, and any other non-political military discussion.

    Default For our Soldiers

    Since Davii and SeeingRed are both soldiers who are serving our country at this time, I thought it would be appropriate to have a thread where they could post from time to time to let us know that they are safe, and to keep in touch with us. Best Wishes to both of you - THANK YOU for serving.
