<0> Colombian newspapers said his most important goals will be to deal with chavez and the surge of nationalistc BS
<1> `426-Hemi: heh...you watching Mail Call? :P
<2> hahahahaha, the guy who invented the parachute never used one, instead he pushed his dog off a hot air balloon!
<3> OMG
<3> Did the dog survive?
<4> Herzen are you in Ga
<2> yeh the dog lived
<5> well, his fourth dog lived ;-)
<3> What a cruel thing to do in the name of science :P
<3> Reminds me of the time when I sold my foot for the flying car
<1> Nohman must be a card-carrying member of PETA :P
<3> Oh screw you
<3> That's bullcrap
<3> I eat cheeseburgers
<3> I snarf em' down, I eat my meat!
<1> Nohman eats Twobar's meat...the only animal he'll eat ;)
<3> Was that a gay joke?
<5> I prefer the other PETA (People Eating The Animals)
<1> sssshhhh! don't tell anyone :P
<6> IamKing, do not harr*** Nohman because he's gay.
<1> hahahah
<5> hmm, or maybe People Eating Tasty Animals
<3> I'm actually a member of NAMBLA
<3> National ***ociation of Marlon Brando Look Alikes
<6> Gay and fat?
<3> Marlon Brando wasn't gay
<3> And he only got fat later in his life you dumb***
<2> man i wished Mail Call was on longer than a 1/2 hour
<2> Lee Ermey is damn cool
<2> ohh cool it's on for another 1/2 hour
<4> `426-Hemi you like mail call
<2> yeh its hilarious
<2> Ermey is a bad ***
<4> that guy on mail is a kick *** consertive genral right
<4> he not pc
<2> no, he is a Sargaent Major
<7> String too short `426-Hemi!
<8> damian's string is too long
<2> ohh my bad
<2> he is a Gunnery Sargaent
<8> his wife calls him "spaghetti ****"
<8> Gunny for short?
<2> yeap
<8> "fire as you come to bear"
<2> in the marines its a Gunnery sargaent, the equivalent in the army would be a Sargaent Major I believe but NOT positive
<8> Hemi: nope
<8> senior master chief in the navy
<2> ahh, staff sargaent?
<8> gunnery is a job description, not a rank
<2> same with staff sarge
<2> i think+)
<8> Hemi: no again ... staff sergeant is a rank
<8> lance corporal
<2> Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt) is the seventh enlisted rank in the United States Marine Corps (U.S.M.C.), just above Staff Sergeant and below Master Sergeant and First Sergeant
<2> its a rank
<8> Hemi: sorry ... you're right
<8> Senior Master Chief is below that
<2> The rank of the venerable Gunnery Sergeant is now unique to the Marine Corps. In 1775 the basic enlisted ranks of private, corporal and sergeant were used by Marines. Later, at varying times, the more senior ranks of Sergeant Major, First Sergeant, Master Sergeant, etc. were adopted. But the Marine Gunnery Sergeant rank (adopted in 1898) has remained distinctive to the Marine Corps.
<8> Marines and Navy obviously are different and I was confusing the two
<2> trying to figure out what the equivalent to that would be in the Army
<8> army would be Sergeant Major of the Army is the highest sgt major
<2> ok, tats what i thought
<2> all i can think of is Sergeant Major Plumley
<2> hehhe
<8> Command Sergeant Major ... that's it
<8> that's the highest regular rank
<6> Gunnery Sergeant is a SGT 1st Cl*** in the Army
<6> SGM of the arm is the highest enlisyted rank in the Army.
<6> Maybe it's CSM of the Army
<8> TheTailor: but there's only one
<6> I guess it is
<6> Yeah, only one
<8> it's like an honorary rank
<9> hey, can one of the ops /invite Loco
<2> and in the navy its a "Master Chief" isn't it?
<6> I don't thikn it's honorary
<8> Katey: have him pm starly
<8> like */msg starly invite
<8> TheTailor: well, you know what I mean ... they only promote one to that rank at a time
<10> Gotta have a good connection during these /invite only times !!!
<6> yeah
<2> and in the navy its a "Master Chief" isn't it?
<8> Hemi: senior master chief
<2> ahhh ok
<6> Chief, senior chief, and master chief
<10> I went from Army boot camp to 32nd street naval station
<10> My first day walking across the base I was saluting about every 30 secs
<2> so basically their jobs are like the mouth piece of the CO of the company?
<8> rond: good practice
<10> then a guy says "Hey Army Dog, come here"
<8> rond: heh
<10> he explained how that enlisted guys in the navy wear gold on their caps too
<9> hehe
<8> "carry on ... I'll be in the area all day"
<6> rond, e-7 and above wear gold
<10> yeah and on 32nd street there seems to be a lot of them
<10> er seemed
<10> as well as officers
<2> ok, can a higher rank in the navy order a lower rank in the army?
<8> Hemi: no
<10> I was under the direct command of the navy for 5 months so yes
<6> no
<8> rond: well, in that case, yes
<10> :)
<6> If attached for TDY
<6> yeah
<10> as a matter of fact
<8> only superior officers in your line of command can order you
<2> well yeh i could see it if you are attached
<10> the army system could not talk to the navy system and I was awol for a couple of those 5 months
<8> but if you're smart, under ordinary circumstances you do what you're told and report it later, quietly
<2> Ocdoc ahhh so even in a different division but same "army" they can't give you orders?
<2> Stingray is trying to get in but starly won't invite him
<8> Hemi: not under normal circumstances
<6> `426-Hemi, a sgt or an officer not in your company can't give you orders
<8> Hemi: he has to have identd
<2> ahhhhhh, woah, i didn't know that
<2> ocdoc he has identd
<2> `STINGRAY is STINGRAY@222.sub-70-210-148.myvzw.com
<2> no little ~ in this addy
<8> is he messaging starly correctly?
<2> hah thats what i was wondering too
<2> i ***ume so
<8> "***ume" makes "*** of u and me"
<2> hopefully stingray is smart enough to know how to type /msg starly invite
<2> hahahhaa
<8> he may be smart enough but may not be coordinated enough ;-)
<2> hahaha yeh i was thinking that as well
<8> well, in a bit I have to go back to marking trees for death and destruction
<2> ahhh.. firewood
<8> I volunteered for the "view preservation committee"
<2> oh cool
<8> I have puter skills so I get to do the scut-work
<8> then the arborist signs off on the "plan" which is the list I created in a spreadsheet
<2> thinning ?
<8> and then the county can approve it, then the contractor tops and limbs and cuts down
<8> talk about bureaucracy
<2> is it for thinning or?
<8> the evergreens can only be topped or limbed
<11> who is attacking channel today?
<8> the deciduous can be cut down because they're ugly
<2> ????
<8> but we have to replace the removed alders and maples with native evergreens
<2> i love maples and oaks
<2> what???
<2> maples aren't native?
<8> Hemi: these aren't the pretty ones you're used to
<2> ahhh
<8> they're scrub maple with forty-six trunks
<2> man we got some HUGE HUGE maples
