Good bye to all!

 

 

I have decided to leave the teaching field and become, once again, part of the military industrial complex.  I have been offered a job at TACOM working as an operations and logistics administrator for the Military’s MRAP Program (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle). I am in the process of being reviewed for my Security clearance this week and will start on Monday April 14th.

I have really enjoyed my time on these blogs and have had some great debates with a good number of people.  I am going to miss most of the regulars on here.  With my new position, I will not have the time available to dedicate to these debates.  I will be out of town quite often and will be unusually busy.

I will occasionally check in to see what mischief you all are getting yourselves into.

 

I would like to give a few special thanks to the following bloggers:

Colt – keep up the good work my friend.  I hope that everyone will soon realize the importance of what you post.

Shock- Thanks for your vote of confidence over the past 1 ½ years.  You are definitely one of the most outspoken bloggers on here.  Enjoyed your posts.

ByeBye-  I think we could have been good friends.   Thanks for your years of service brother.

Tall- I still do not agree with most of what you say, but I wish you well with your illness.

Car- We have had a 50/50 view on things. But remember to keep your cool.

Luvs, Mom and Nurse, Rita, enjoyed our conversations.

Sarge- Although we disagree on a few things, thanks for your service also.

Michigan man (Tim)- Keep up the logical debates. You logically prove things without a doubt, just remember than not everything in life is logical, have fun sometimes.

Midevil- You are just weird. Or should I say you all are weird? (Hey look not a single word over 7 letters)

Seedub and Revalcoholic- You two are very racist, you really need to realize that not every white man is out to get you. Get out of this negative viewpoint and enjoy life.

Spiritsoup- You are crazy- I have never been afraid of any man on this earth but you come close.  Your views are not sane what so ever.

Longshot- you are a newbee on here. You really need to lighten up if you want to open any kind of dialog with anyone. Oh, stop deleting opposing viewpoints.  That’s just childish.

Mrs Hubby- You still look fine for a Grandma.

Steveincanton- Keep posting.  I have to admit that I don’t read all of your stuff, but the ones that sound interesting I have enjoyed.

 

 

There are a lot of others on here that I have debated with and have enjoyed it all.

Keep posting, have fun and keep it on topic!!!!

The one and only RATT_KILLER!

Ratt,
I think so too. Enjoy TACOM, I have a lot of friends there. I turned down a GS-12 there, I was told I can come back anytime. I would have started in the blue building there, I'm sure you know what building that is and then to the Ordnance side in 09. But Florida was my calling. My advice for you is get there early to find a parking spot!! Good luck.

Ratt,

I hope the new job goes well for you. Someday I think you will come to the realization that there isn't much true deference's between Democrats and Republicans. In the end it is the quality of the man not the party.

My Dad worked at the Chrysler Tank Plant as a designer and test driver, and later the Davidson was built so they could get from Chrysler HQ to their proving grounds without destroying the streets, he joined the service in early 44 and was out wounded a year later. Wounds later contributed to his early death.I knew a guy that worked in the optics dept. a few years ago. It's one of the better places to work for TACOM, he enjoyed it.

Ratt, We agree on most things but one. We have tried to convince one another to no avail. I respect your stand even though I don't agree. This is what AMERICA is all about. I will miss you here and I wish you good fortune. Take care fellow veteran brother and make the equipment safer and allow it to track down those Muslim bastards and totally waste them.
I hope you get this message as I know I am late coming on here again. Stupid connection problems again.

Army Veteran- Married with children- Graduated CMU with Masters Degree- I am a Republican, a moderate Republican. I believe in small Government, I believe in low taxes, I believe in capitalism. I believe in a representative government. I believe in tight immigration. I am Pro-2nd Amendment, Pro- Death Penalty. I am against abortion as a means of birth control but favor it in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother or baby are in serious threat. I believe that stem cell research is a must but not something that the government should fund. I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should not be done. Life begins at conception. I am not a religious person, but believe that everyone has a right to be. I do not believe that religion or the so-called “intelligent design theory” should be taught in public science classes. This is not a science. If comparative religion is taught at a public school, that is fine, as long as it is not taught in science, and make sure all belief systems are taught and compared. I am against Racial and Sexual discrimination and therefore am against Affirmative Action in hiring and school admissions. I am against same sex marriage (and also a constitutional amendment to ban them) but in favor of civil unions. I believe that Unions are what’s wrong with American workers today, not globalization. The socialistic “Robin Hood” attitude of these unions hurt today’s educationally advanced culture of workers. The unions have become nothing more than a political action committee in favor of pushing a platform that favors Democrats and bashes Republicans. I believe that the ACLU destroys our rights more than protects them. I believe that security and safety is our number one priority. Capitalism will take care of our economic concerns. I once considered myself a Regan Democrat. Now I consider myself a Moderate Republican. I want to distance myself from the vitriolic Democrat party because I think that they have no clue as to what many mainstream Americans hold dear. I also do not agree with the far-right Conservatives when it comes to governing this nation according to their religious beliefs. I am not a one-issue voter. I try to judge every candidate on every issue and vote accordingly.
