Author flowerpot Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Gunny & ilmw, I enjoyed the posts, I guess for now I'll just have to let time unravel things, if it ever will. My daughter & her family have officially moved in. It's nice to be with them & my grandaughter during this time. I know that the hollidays are approaching soon & I'm not looking forward to the empty feelings,I just need to be strong & not think about it.... Just be thankfull for what I have.... & pray for what I have lost...... Take care, FP Link to post Share on other sites
bonehead Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Pardon me here a second gunny, I know Im going back a few days, but as someone who spent 10 years active army I just have one thing to say. :lmao: :lmao: ( They dont look like they are laughing hard enough ) FP, I am in a position to tell ya the guy is FOS. Some of the courses he claimed to have completed he wouldnt have gotten into without the tab. You are not ASKED to join ANY SF group with the exception of of one unit, and if he is putting any mention of that unit on ANYTHING then I know for a fact he is full of it.

Gunny376 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Pardon me here a second gunny, I know Im going back a few days, but as someone who spent 10 years active army I just have one thing to say. :lmao: :lmao: ( They dont look like they are laughing hard enough ) I did my twenty, and I've got Navy Achievements and Navy Commendations Medals and a bunch of paper to hang on my wall. To get them I had to work my azz off, (slack duty was working a sixty hour week ~ most time I worked seventy to eighty hour weeks for twenty years! I worked most XMAS's and Thanksgivings) Hindsight, it cost me a wife and a family. I was hard working, dedicated, motivated. One of the primary reasons my wife divorced me was because I was a "workaholic" (As if I had a choice?) There are only 146 "Star" ranked generals and admirals in the United States Military. To get a Navy Achievement Medal, in the Marines, you've got to have a Lt. Gen (three star) sign off on it. That's a pretty steep climb, as the senior General is only a four star. My damned medals cost me my wife and family! Link to post Share on other sites
Sup Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Gunny, you don't know that for sure, she still may have left you...... Seems to me she was LOOKING for a reason to leave if you know what I mean. You can't blame yourself for working, you had to do that, she didn't have to do what she did, PERIOD!

That meant a lot to me! My marriage life was like "Heartbreak Ridge" starring Clint Eastwood. My last LTR GF, I rolled in and told her I had to go on a Friday afternoon, grabbed my pre-ready field pack, and bedroll. "Where are you going to?" "I don't know? All I know is I've been told to report!" "How long will you be gone?" "I don't know?"! "When will you call?" "I don't know if they have phones where I'm going?!" "When will you write?" "Whenever they get mail service set up!" This happened on a Friday. and on Monday I was in Rawanda. Then Haiti, Nicaragra, Hondurus, Cuba, Homestead Flordia (Hurricane Andrew relief) Link to post Share on other sites
bonehead Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 What I was laughng at was If you find yourself in foxhole facing Hajji, with a Guardsman, shoot him ~ he'll get you killed. If you find yourself in a foxhole with a Marine cook, ask him which direction to shoot!" When I seperated from the Army I looked at a National Guard unit. One weekend was enough for me. I had an E3 walk up to me, ( E6 ) stick his hand out and say " You must be Bob. " Went downhill from there. Link to post Share on other sites

" Went downhill from there. :lmao: :lmao: ..too funny Where I come from... the term "Guardsman" is reserved for members of the Foot Guards of the Guards Division... ie Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scotts Guards, Welsh Guards, and Irish Guards. Please refrain from tainting a position of honour and tradition that dates back centuries...with "weekend warriors".... BTW... I pretty much did the same thing... When I first moved back to Canada... I look at joining a reserve Army unit locally... I went to a parade night... watched them form up... saw how overly serious they were looking ... saw the out of shape sack of Sh8t Sgt/major... and laughed my arse off... and walked out... never to go back.... Its hard to go down in standard.... when it comes to things like that.... I would never have been able to take anyone seriously.... coming from where I had just come from.

You DON'T tell them, THEY TELL YOU!!!! PERIOD! My father is retired Army, so I know just a little. Link to post Share on other sites
Author flowerpot Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I last posted on November. Things have been up & down. X-wife came over to the house to pick up our G-daughter & asked me if I would like to join them for X-mas. She told me that her family would like me to be there & that she would like me to be there too.I was totally supprised & very happy about that. I believe it was a false recovery because after X-mas we got into an argument about her daughter who is living with me w/ her husband & daughter. You see, they have not been working & I have been supporting them during this time. The argument was about me enabeling them. I will say that she has a good point! Since then they are getting jobs & getting their own place. I believe it will be in the best interest for everyone. My X & I have had some contact via talephone, most have been good. I believe she is still bitter & that time will make the difference.She must have some feelings deep down inside. I'm not sure what to think of this because 3 days after she invited me to X-mas she broke it off with the guy she had the affair with. What could be going through her head? I have had a few dates & have met an old friend I knew before I was married,we have lunch now & then, she has invited me to go to Las Vegas for a long weekend. I will probably take her up on it because I need to get away.It just might do me good. Take care, FP Link to post Share on other sites
