i like to listen to htese guys, talking about what it was like, talking, ( about what they could legally talk about) one can close their eyes, and hear the words, and "be there" in the sense ofit

i have a severe problem with PTSD.  it is my cross to bear and i do not talk about it much.

[yamahonkawazuki]

fair enough. one can find out if need be, but as of now there is no need to do so. nor is there a forseeable need. but that aside, with the ptsd, and the other probs, which i wont mention out of privacy and such. how would you make blackwater work?

Coming from a friend of a few guys with verified Psd, going back into any type of paramilitary organization would not be a great idea.  It could aggravate it and make it worse.  That shaZam! is no joke. 

[frankieG]

to be honest i can't..it is more of a "what if" to get back to the man i used to be and not the one i am

[yamahonkawazuki]

kinda like, " man if i was doing this right now...." hell man, i f i were not a diabetic, id be on with them, but i dont think it would be possible. besides, i want to get back to school, finish my degree, and fulfill a part of my life, that has yet to be done. ( working in a foreign country for a lil bit), every member of my family has doen so. at some location, . but then again, im not far from BW's training facility. so even though i cannot work for them, i can stlil partake of their training, in case that inevitable zombie battle comes, ill be prepared

[frankieG]

oh we know the zombie wars are not far away.

[yamahonkawazuki]

indeed, jsut go to a major methamphetamine location. plenty of zombies there

One of my best friends who is now deceased was UDT in in vietnam, old school SEAL. He did 5 tours, because everytime his little brothers paperwork as a marine came up for deployment he would tear it up and volunteer again. I understand where frankies coming from, Bob liked vietnam. He never adjusted to civillian life and I was one of the only non-military friends he had. One of my former bosses was a Tunnel rat, we were close enough that he would occasionally talk with me about it. 32 years after serving he was still so bad that when someone would throw a bad sheet of material off of their machine and it crashed to the ground he would cringe one night it was so bad he dove under his desk.

So whether I like your politics and POV or not frankie thanks.

I thought Clay Usie was persona nongratas with you.  In one of your previous rants, you mentioned something about punching him in the face if you ever meet the guy.  Glad to see you guys are buddies and fostering the Navy/Marine Corps team.

If you send him another e-mail tell him to stay safe and be kind to the DesertBees he meets.  I might run into him next year.

[frankieG]

i did, however after chatting online i changed my tune.  i did offer him best wishes and safety in his mission.
