Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you.
Pond scum can be hard to get off your boots but sometimes it's just fun to walk through it!
I went to Paris Island to watch a cousin graduate from boot in the 60's. As I recall it was the middle of summer, it was HOT and there was no shade to be found. I don't guess that has changed much. Even as a youngster I thought I was going to melt. Thanks D.I. for all the hard work. Teach'em right so they come back alive.

No, seriously, not much has changed from when I was a recruit, it sure has not gotten any easier! Buddy, it gets HOT here. I am from fl, and it get's hotter here than there. I do my best to send them out with what I have been taught over the years. I have had a few of my recruits die in Iraq and surrounding areas, and it is tough. I know that I did my best, but you always wonder. All I want is for good, honest Americians to be proud of what we do. I'd die for mom, apple pie, baseball, and the Stars and Stripes any day. Just give me somebody to fight for.

Thanks Madhat!!!
By the way, how is it you happen to be on line now? Shouldn't you be making somebody really, really miserable right now???
My daughter's DI's seem to feel better when her platoon was hurting. At least that's what she believed. LOL

Pm me there Madhat, I'm always interested in swapping stories. Well the next chapter is on the books. The "gentleman" that hit me on Friday did call me back after I advised him of the additional damage. He spoke to my bride on Saturday while I was attending a work day at the hunting club. He basically told my wife that there wasn't any additional damage and that was it. WRONG!!!
I called his agent today and it seems he had already called the agent. Even better the agent told me it would be best for me to call my agent and report the claim and let the insurance companies sort it out and tell me what they were going to do. WRONG AGAIN!!! When I hung up with the agent I called Nationwide's claim center. After a no hassle conversation with the claim agent he got the adjuster on the phone. After another no hassle, no confrontation conversation with the adjuster I hung up feeling pretty good. About two and a half hours later the adjuster called back to tell me they would be accepting responsibility for the claim and asked me where I would like the repairs done and they used Enterprise for their rental cars.
It appears that the "gentleman" got kinda colorful with the adjuster. The adjuster would only tell me that he admitted fault but didn't think they should pay me a *^#! cent. WRONG ONCE AGAIN!!! I will update y'all again when the repairs are started.

My parents were involved in a wreck that the guy that's the main cause said "I'm not taking the blame", well to give you an idea about how well that went that was Dec. 18, 2004 and my parents are in mediation sometime today. Talk about long and drawn out.
