CO 1E, you aren't going crazy, the prices definitely changed on the BF sale.

Nah - whenever my prescription changes, old sets simply get donated to the Lions Club.

Speaking of which, I believe that dress jacket may have well been a 36 XL; at largest, it was a 38 XL (my chest then was smaller or the same size as my waist now). Another reason for Alli. :rolleyes:

Much as I like the Lions, that's one set of glasses I'd never donate. The issued BCG's and the gas mask inserts are an integral part of one's personal history if they have worn a uniform. I even managed to hold on to my gas mask without anyone noticing. I also still have a few samples of 20mm and 30mm cannon brass, and a full-up dummy 30mm round from the cannon in the A-10.

Nighty night, Box. Not nearly enough sleep last night, worked a lot today, no alarm clock tomorrow.

Poor CO. I think they have officially become the annual August news story to be hounded over. They've made the Weather Channel about the RST incident.

OMG, being a civie, that was a term I've never heard before. BCG's

I do have many interesting items. 25 mm brass from "practicing" with an MK 38 and even an EEBD somewhere.

Didn't you know that everything has at least one acronym? Often, the acronyms take longer to say than the words/concepts they represent, such as when things go "Tango Uniform" ("pear shaped" for the Brits among us).

Night, Box.

Tango Uniform--Box edition

1. My Plat upgrade did not clear. (SPG or CO)

3. The PC bartenders cut me off.

5. The FA touched me.
6. Weather diverted my TXL-EWR flight to Canada.
7. They didn't have my special meal.
8. I couldn't get no-meals during lent.
9. There was no room for my hard case two-suiter in the overhead.

Poop.

Poop indeed. I got to experience the game from a little closer - I'm in MEX this week for work, and the plant I'm working with designed the week's schedule so we could adjourn early today to watch the game at a local restaurant. ^

As a side note, traffic was even more :rolleyes: than usual after the game.
