For whom the bell tolls...
 
Either that, or the economy is getting better.

From an editorial in the Washington Post:

"Predictably, it is getting harder and harder for the Army and Marines to
recruit young men and women willing to bear such hardships. The Marines
missed their recruiting goal in January for the first time in a decade,
and all of the reserve corps except the Marines missed their recruiting
goals in the first quarter of this fiscal year. The National Guard signed
up barely half of the recruits it aimed for in January."


You think maybe our "brightest and best" have gotten smarter?

Yup,,

I remember when I was in nam,, well we were able to rape the daughters of
the gooks we found,, we were able to then rape the women and wives, just
before we killed the household man before we salted their fields,, today the
recruits aren't allowed to have the fun we had,, yep,, I can see the numbers
reducing.

But I was awarded so many metals they had to hire a separate 747 to deliver
my metals home, brought a tear to my eye it did, yup the little darling just
loves that story,,

But I can understand that so many cowards within this country are convincing
our brave young men and women to marry their same sex partners instead of
working or going to the military, yup they should be both home breast
feeding their adopted children, men and women instead of bravely eliminating
terrorism,, yup,, I know I was a coward back then ,, but was such a small,
small percentage where today that percentage is rising with the help of
cowards like me,,, yup,,, and I continued that agent orange today as I gets
a couple of those orange pills after supper that bring me back to those good
ole days,,, yup,,, oooopps,, ouch,,,,oooops,, ouch,,, oooo ,,, welll the
better get me another diaper,,, oo little darling/?????

Ship Skipper February 7th 05 02:45 PM

I have a friend that is a Navy Recruiter. I had asked him one day what's the
number of recruits that you put through. His reply was, 1 in a 1000 gets in.
Then he explained why. Which is, they failed the entrance exam, medical
reasons, school grades, failed pshyc exam, and over weight, are the top 5
reason why. It's not because they don't want to join, it's because the
standards have risen.

Hehehe. Those swampbillies sure have a lot of money.

My little swamp town just raised $12 million for underserved children this
past Saturday at our Winter Wine Festival auction.

" The grand total far surpasses last year's giving of $7.6 million, a number
that had elevated the event to the most successful wine charity auction in
the world. The Naples wine festival surpassed even the prestigious Napa
Valley festival. "

http://www.naplesnews.com/npdn/news/...526840,00.html


If they auctioned off the entire town (and possessions) of Snellville, they
probably couldn't raise half as much money as a single day auction in
Naples.

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday this weekend. I
also went to see Phantom of the Opera, and ate at a Fodor's top 100
restaurant Saturday night...and only had to drive 20 minutes from my house
to do both. I watched the Superbowl yesterday while sitting on my lanai in
shorts and a t-shirt. I haven't decided whether I'll go boating 2 or 3 days
this coming weekend...or if I'll go golfing on one of those days instead.
The following weekend, I planning on driving 90 minutes across Alligator
Alley to attend the World's largest boat show. Several weekends after that,
I'll be towing my boat down to the Keys for some much-needed R&R...and be
back in time for my 8am patient on Monday. By then it will be
April/May...and the world's greatest tarpon, kingfish, and snook fishery
comes alive just minutes from the dock behind my house.

It's hard to believe that all of these great things are available in my lil'
ol' "swamp" town...plus the most millionaires per capita than anywhere else
in the country.

North Collier Hospital, which is about 2 miles from my house, delivers 300

You can have it. I wouldn't live in a town where most of the old farts are
older than I am.


Why not? You'd feel young again. It's a funny feeling to be able to look a
69 year old lady in the eye and say with all seriousness and honesty:
"you're not old". When she looks around her, she realizes I'm right.



There's a 1.5 acre lot available nearby, approved for well, percs, too.
Small dock. Remnants of house. Yours for $1.5 million, no extra charge for
mediocre fishing.


They'd carve that into 2 to 3 lots by me...and sell each off for a
million-plus. Crazy...but true.

Hehehe. Those swampbillies sure have a lot of money.

My little swamp town just raised $12 million for underserved

children
this
past Saturday at our Winter Wine Festival auction.

" The grand total far surpasses last year's giving of $7.6

million, a

If they auctioned off the entire town (and possessions) of
Snellville, they
probably couldn't raise half as much money as a single day auction

in

Naples.

So, NOYB, how much time have you spent in Snellville to be able to

say
such things? Also, is money your sole qualification for how nice a

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday this

I
also went to see Phantom of the Opera, and ate at a Fodor's top 100

I can do the same from MY house.
I watched the Superbowl yesterday while sitting on my lanai

I watched sitting on my deck, with about 20 other people, that were
around my age, NOT retirees.



Looks like it was a balmy 48F~40F in Snellville during most of the game

Those really are not bad temperatures to watch a football game in....if you
are at the game. But I would not sit outside on my porch watching the
entire game when it was warm and cozy inside...the only exception being if
it were a tailgate party setup as Bassy may have had, especially considering
he had 20 friends over. We do that for some OSU games but eventually come
inside to watch most of the game.

Snellville, GA certainly has far more temperate temperatures than Avon Lake,
OH so I can not kid him about the weather.

I have a friend that is a Navy Recruiter. I had asked him one day what's the
number of recruits that you put through. His reply was, 1 in a 1000 gets in.




JAXAshby February 7th 05 11:39 PM

hoary, please stop repeated 20x repeated stories. Everyone who took a military
physical during VN knows that virtually everyone passed. And everyone who wnet
through boot camp knows that just a tiny number were rejected in boot camp for
physical reasons.

hoary, you learned your military lore when watching 1950's tv.

Then he explained why. Which is, they failed the entrance exam, medical
reasons, school grades, failed pshyc exam, and over weight, are the top 5
reason why. It's not because they don't want to join, it's because the
standards have risen.



Believe it or not, this was true during the Vietnam Era, too, though I
don't know what the proportion was. When I worked for The AP in West
Virginia, I had a buddy there who was an MD in the Army, and part of his
duties involved examining draftees and recruits. This was Appalachia,
times were tough in that part of the country then (and they are still
tough) and many young men who didn't have the wherewithal to get into
college or pay for it looked to the military as a way out of where they
were, joblessness, or, at best, some awful coal mine job.

Problem was, many of the young men had suffered serious malnutrition, or
didn't have the ability to do even modestly well in school, or had
horrific dental problems (this, I recall, was the biggest disqualified),
and couldn't even get into the Army during a serious war. It broke his
heart, my doctor friend said, to turn down so many of these kids because
they really had no other options.

Keep in mind that I have no problems with most individuals who serve in
the military. I think soldiers who serve in a war battle zone are
grossly underpaid, and I think their benefits suck, too. My problem is
with the institution of the military and its corruption.

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday this

weekend.

I went Saturday.


I didn't have to cut a hole in the ice.


Neither did I. Where to hell did that idea pop in your head?

I
also went to see Phantom of the Opera, and ate at a Fodor's top

So you like sitting around outside in 40 degree weather? Most people

prefer
Florida weather.


It was 64. You must remember, I lived in FL for many years, therefore I
know what I'm talking about. How long did you live in the Atlanta area?

decided whether I'll go boating 2 or 3 days
this coming weekend...or if I'll go golfing on one of those days

instead.

I don't golf.


The cows and goats get in the way?


Bet there's more cows in Collier County than in Dekalb.


The following weekend, I planning on driving 90 minutes across

Alligator
Alley to attend the World's largest boat show.


Whoopee!


I figured that since you're on a boating newsgroup, you'd have an

interest
in boats. I figured wrong.


There is a huge boat show at the World Congress Center each year, and
then several smaller ones. Whoopee, because apparently you think that
because you live in Naples, you are the only one able to attend a
flippin' boat show, which is quite funny!

Several weekends after that,
I'll be towing my boat down to the Keys for some much-needed

R&R...and be
back in time for my 8am patient on Monday.


IF I were to live in FL again, it'd be the Keys, not quite so many
retired zombies there.



By then it will be
April/May...and the world's greatest tarpon, kingfish, and snook

fishery
comes alive just minutes from the dock behind my house.


Bass and stripers here.


I'm talking about in my backyard...not some 40 minute drive to a

land-locked
lake.


Big deal. I don't have to deal with the Depends generation minute by
minute.
And, Lake Lanier is considered one of the best spotted bass fisheries
in the U.S. Then, within a few hours there are many, many beautiful
lakes available to me.



It's hard to believe that all of these great things are available

in
my lil'
ol' "swamp" town...plus the most millionaires per capita than

anywhere else
in the country.


Again, fine, if you like living with the Depends set.


North Collier Hospital, which is about 2 miles from my house,

delivers 300
babies/month. They're not being conceived by "the Depends set".

Naples
also has 4 public high schools, and 4 private schools that go through

grade
12. They're not attended by "the Depends set".


There are people, such as yourself, that are needed to change those
Depends, etc. Take a look at the median age of Naples, compared to
other places. Remember now, statistic wise, a couple of years means a
lot.

I don't know. BUT, your ignorance is showing again, John. A
manufactured home can be many different things, other than a mobile
home, or trailer. There is pre-cast concrete sections, manufactured log
homes, panelized foam sandwich construction, and on, and on.

You can't help but lie, can you? The temperature in Snellville when the

dipped to the upper 40's.

You must remember, I lived in FL for many years, therefore I
know what I'm talking about.

Again, fine, if you like living with the Depends set.

Naples

There are people, such as yourself, that are needed to change those
Depends, etc. Take a look at the median age of Naples, compared to
other places. Remember now, statistic wise, a couple of years means a
lot.


You like statistics, eh? Then you'll really like this statistic:

"Between 1995 and 2000, *NAPLES, FLORIDA*.; Las Vegas; Charlotte, N.C.;
Atlanta; and Portland, Ore., were the major cities that saw the greatest
growth among single people 25 to 39 who had college diplomas, according to
the bureau's first-ever report on the subject."

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday

there more assisted living units in Naples than just about any area in
the U.S. The only place there are more are ALSO in Fl.

I wonder what they're called in Snellville.

John H

I don't know. BUT, your ignorance is showing again, John. A
manufactured home can be many different things, other than a mobile
home, or trailer. There is pre-cast concrete sections, manufactured log
homes, panelized foam sandwich construction, and on, and on.


Oh, did you drive by the same one I did?

What are the ones on wheels called?

Before you start shouting 'ignorance', you should 'well research and verify'

My comments regarding manufactured housing IS verified. Again, you
always ask questions that are so obvious that a four year old would

you to post more and more questions about aspects that should be
obvious to just about anyone.

Not any ol' boat show. The world's largest boat show. You can even

go on
sea trials at the show. Can you do that at the World Congress

Center?

So it HAS to be the biggest (by the promoter's standards) to be of any
value? No other boat show in the world would do, huh?



Several weekends after that,
I'll be towing my boat down to the Keys for some much-needed
R&R...and be
back in time for my 8am patient on Monday.

IF I were to live in FL again, it'd be the Keys, not quite so

many
retired zombies there.


By then it will be
April/May...and the world's greatest tarpon, kingfish, and

snook
fishery
comes alive just minutes from the dock behind my house.

Bass and stripers here.

I'm talking about in my backyard...not some 40 minute drive to a
land-locked
lake.

Big deal. I don't have to deal with the Depends generation minute

by
minute.
And, Lake Lanier is considered one of the best spotted bass

fisheries
in the U.S. Then, within a few hours there are many, many beautiful
lakes available to me.



It's hard to believe that all of these great things are

available
in
my lil'
ol' "swamp" town...plus the most millionaires per capita than
anywhere else
in the country.

Again, fine, if you like living with the Depends set.

North Collier Hospital, which is about 2 miles from my house,
delivers 300
babies/month. They're not being conceived by "the Depends set".
Naples
also has 4 public high schools, and 4 private schools that go

through
grade
12. They're not attended by "the Depends set".

There are people, such as yourself, that are needed to change those
Depends, etc. Take a look at the median age of Naples, compared to
other places. Remember now, statistic wise, a couple of years means

a
lot.


You like statistics, eh? Then you'll really like this statistic:

"Between 1995 and 2000, *NAPLES, FLORIDA*.; Las Vegas; Charlotte,

N.C.;
Atlanta; and Portland, Ore., were the major cities that saw the

greatest
growth among single people 25 to 39 who had college diplomas,

according to
the bureau's first-ever report on the subject."


http://www.theolympian.com/home/spec...4/140664.shtml

Hehe! had to look long and hard for that, huh? Let's have a look see at
the median ages!!!!!
Jeez, I wonder why, if Naples isn't a dying field for old farts, why is
there more assisted living units in Naples than just about any area in
the U.S. The only place there are more are ALSO in Fl.


30% of Naples' population falls between the ages of 45 and 64. 27% of the
population of Snellville falls between 45 and 64. The per capita income in
Naples is $61,141. In Snellville, it's $25,992.

Why are these statistics important?

Since the 45 to 64 year old age group is the group of folks most likely to:
a) have dental problems, b) have the money to pay for their dental needs,
and c) actually take the time to go to the dentist, Naples is the ideal
location for a dentist...especially a dentist who likes to boat and fish.

If you're a boater and/or fisherman, then the next statistics become
important:

Naples: 14.4 sq. mi., of which 2.4 sq mi. is water
Snellville: 9.7 sq. mi., of which 0.04 sq mi. is water

Naples avg. winter temps: 67 (Dec), 66 (Jan), 67 (Feb)
Atlanta avg. winter temps: 45 (Dec), 43 (Jan), 46 (Feb)

Naples avg. Summer temps: 82 (June), 83 (July), 83 (August)
Atlanta avg. Summer temps: 77 (June), 79 (July), 79 (August)

Naples Highest Recorded temps: 96 (June), 98 (July), 97 (Aug)
Atlanta Highest Recorded temps: 101 (June), 105 (July), 102 (Aug)

Hehehe. Those swampbillies sure have a lot of money.

My little swamp town just raised $12 million for

this
past Saturday at our Winter Wine Festival auction.

" The grand total far surpasses last year's giving of

$7.6
million, a
number

If they auctioned off the entire town (and possessions)

of
Snellville, they
probably couldn't raise half as much money as a single

day
auction
in

Naples.

So, NOYB, how much time have you spent in Snellville to be

able
to
say
such things? Also, is money your sole qualification for

how
nice
a
place is to live? That's all?

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday

this
weekend.

I went Saturday.

I didn't have to cut a hole in the ice.

Neither did I. Where to hell did that idea pop in your head?

I
also went to see Phantom of the Opera, and ate at a Fodor's

top
100
restaurant Saturday night...and only had to drive 20 minutes

from
my
house
to do both.
I can do the same from MY house.
I watched the Superbowl yesterday while sitting on my lanai


I watched sitting on my deck, with about 20 other people,

that
were
around my age, NOT retirees.

So you like sitting around outside in 40 degree weather? Most

people
prefer
Florida weather.

It was 64.

You can't help but lie, can you? The temperature in Snellville

when
the
game started at 6pm ET was in the mid 50's. By the end of the

game,
it had
dipped to the upper 40's.

Here's historical data for Snellville:


http://www.wunderground.com/history/...lyHistory.html

Hehe, I don't live in Snellville. Look at P'tree-Dekalb airport

history
for Sunday. 61. It was 64 on my deck. Did I say that it stayed the

same
temp. all night?

You must remember, I lived in FL for many years, therefore I
know what I'm talking about.

Hehehe. Yeah, according to you, you lived in Naples... in SE

Florida.

Never made a mistake, NOYB? I'll bet I've spent more years in

Florida
than YOU have!!!!

BTW--When did Naples move to the west coast?


How long did you live in the Atlanta area?

I'd never do something so stupid.


Yeah, nobody would want you here. So, admittedly, you've never

lived
here. Then, what makes you an expert on the area?

I don't golf.

The cows and goats get in the way?

Bet there's more cows in Collier County than in Dekalb.


The following weekend, I planning on driving 90 minutes

across
Alligator
Alley to attend the World's largest boat show.

Whoopee!

I figured that since you're on a boating newsgroup, you'd have

an
interest
in boats. I figured wrong.

There is a huge boat show at the World Congress Center each

year,
and
then several smaller ones. Whoopee, because apparently you think

that
because you live in Naples, you are the only one able to attend

a
flippin' boat show, which is quite funny!

I don't know. Perhaps because you are enamored with Snellville, for
some reason? Now, take a look at your percentages above. Naples has a
much bigger population than Snellville.

Since the 45 to 64 year old age group is the group of folks most

likely to:
a) have dental problems, b) have the money to pay for their dental

needs,
and c) actually take the time to go to the dentist, Naples is the

ideal

fish.

Yes, I've said all along, you are only interested in the money aspect.
You forgot to include stats for above 64 years old, why is that?

If you're a boater and/or fisherman, then the next statistics become
important:

Naples: 14.4 sq. mi., of which 2.4 sq mi. is water
Snellville: 9.7 sq. mi., of which 0.04 sq mi. is water

Yes, they ARE important. Striper fishing here is best in moderately
cool weather. Also, you made a statement that you had gone fishing, I
said I did too, and you said but I didn't have to break the ice. Now,
look at your averages above. How much ice do you think formed on the
lakes at a COLDEST average temp of 43? Now, again, what temps above
does it look like you can't boat and fish in the area?

Fritz, please show what evidence you have that I live in a mobile

Can you? Or are you just posting out of ignorance, as usual? You

SHOULD
laugh your ass off, seeing how you don't have the slightest clue

what
you are talking about.
I also see that you still don't have the mental capacity to act like

an
adult, and must resort to childish name calling. Must be hell to

have a
pathetic existence like you. You may want to check in with your

usenet
support groups for help with your divorce, and raising your kid.


I'm sure Fritz's comment was as 'well researched and verified' as the

Washington
Post story you were so proud of.

John H

Your SURE of that? Is that 100% positive, like your "common sense"?
Well, gee, that'd be wrong, again, as usual.
