  1. Rottie- You are correct it is an important question. You would certainly deserve to be told, so you could avoid humiliation. I would like to think that I would be a good enough brother to tell you.

  2. Very nice poem, very nice. As a foster dad to 3, an adoptive dad to 1, and a biological dad to 1; I thank you. Someone mentioned the 'major damage' done by devorces. I would comment that children in state custody, often have much more significant problems. We dont have any with significant medical problems; though I know other foster families that specialize in children using G-tubes, or wheelchairs. It is very common to deal with children who have physcological issues (FAS, ADHD, RAD, inappropriate sexual behaviors, arsonists), as well as the sexual predators (in the past month, I have read about 3 SPs in my local newspaper, all under 10 years old). To my limited understanding, anytime the police are involved and have to remove children from a home, there tend to be 'major damage' done to those children. These damages are significantly worse than the results of devorce. Thank you.

  3. If it is a man, then I usually try to tell the person privately. If they are female, then I find another female and ask her to tell the offending female. I have had to do this previously, and my concern was largely one of avoiding commiting any felonys. In the military, you should never speak with a female privately, and when addressing their attire or behavior you must have a female witness, and you need to get the witness's written statement about the conversation BEFORE she leaves the room (if the witness does not provide the statement that moment, her memory may 'change'). If I am doing it, I would always end it with a compliment. The compliment (by law) must not be: about anything sexual, about their attire, their beleifs, their culture. The compliment must be about their job performance. Can you beleive that I have actually been through courses on how to do these things?

  4. I do both, either. In my last duty station (Naples Italy) we used a small charcoal hibachi, that we imported from USA. and I got real good at lighting it using a coffee can and newspapers. Now stateside, we use a big propane grill. One of my renters came with it, but they dont use it. It can cook entirely with propane, or I can load it with a bag of charcoal and light the propane anyway. The propane will get the charcoal going pretty well in 15 minutes. During the summer, a relative who lives on a beach has big parties about monthly. I go and cook for them sometimes. It takes 6 bags of charcoal to setup their grill, and we will have to re-load it once. Last summer at one party, I cooked 120 chicken breasts that we had soaked in orange juice and spices, but we still we served more steak. Thye throw really big private partys. Sometimes it is really hard to predict charcoal, it might be hot in 15 minutes; or it might take an hour. Some like the flavour of charcoal, I dont like the smoke. If you want to, you can use a propane grill with liquid mesquit flavouring painted on the lava rocks in the bottom of your grill. The liquid will burn-off and flavour the meat. The flavour of charcoal, without the hesitant starts and the smoke.

  5. Radar O'Reilly: GALEN, "You did a terrible disservice by cutting and pasting only part of that thread. You should be ashamed of yourself." Okay, here is the thread in it's entirety: "anyone know? thank you." "got dirty, made soap, got clean..." "Hi nandon, I have moved this to the "Friend Tracker" forum. This is something that probably should not be posted on a public forum. The Mosqueda's might not want that information available for all to see." "If you have your email posted on your profile, I'm sure someone will be happy to send it there." "Mosqueda's According to the Cortright page, they are in Round Rock TX. E-mail lonestar1@mac.com" "do they still burn books?" "We were booted for refusing to burn two books. One by John Lynn and another by Chris Geer." There it is. I have again reviewed what I posted the first time from the previous thread and frm this time posting the entire thread. I do not beleive that I did any dis-service. What I left out was the original question of someone asking where they were. You see a 'dis-service; within that? Wow. You truly must have good vision. I fail to see it. No insult meant to you, nor to them, but rather simply quoting what I had said previously. If the image within a mirror is insulting, then I am sorry. However it is still the image. Did you feel that something was said in error? Was it somehow a mistake? By me omiting the original question of: "anyone know? thank you." "got dirty, made soap, got clean..." "Hi nandon, I have moved this to the "Friend Tracker" forum. This is something that probably should not be posted on a public forum. The Mosqueda's might not want that information available for all to see." I do not see that a dis-service was done. "Sogwappie, The Mosqueda's are out and since the day they left twi have opened their hearts to each and every ex-way person that wants to talk to them and clear the air. They have made it clear that they made mistakes and handled situations wrong, anyone out there reading this that wants an answer, or to discuss past grievances -- contact them and work your situations out." "I spoke to them once or twice after they left twi just to touch base and wish them well...at that time they were involved in trying to help people emotionally, physically and financially that were trying to exit twi." Good. I had not heard such a story. I have friends still in Washington, the Strayhorns, I am in communication with them. They had not heard of such an update concerning the Mosqueda's. Since the local believers had not heard of such a thing, thus I had not heard of such a thing. I will relay this onto the Strayhorns, as I am sure they will be comforted. Being that they still live locally, and they still fellowship with ex-twi believers there. I am saddened that you thought I was performing a dis-service. Again I do not see it, however, I do apologize, for the stumbling block. The latest that I or the local beleivers had heard the Mosqueda's were still corpse-nazi. I am glad that they removed themselves from that situation, and I pray that they are doing better now. I do apologize for not having heard the update, as the locals might.

  6. Do you mean the: Mosqueda's? I copied this from a older thread. "According to the Cortright page, they are in Round Rock TX. E-mail lonestar1@mac.com" "do they still burn books? We were booted [meaning that the Mosqueda's booted us] for refusing to burn two books. One by John Lynn and another by Chris Geer." However now that I think about it, they also did not like stuff we had that was written by Cummins as well. They used another man, to search through our bed room closet, while we were on a trip. The other guy, then reported to Mosqueda what he found there and we were confronted.

  7. It is good to see those ladies sweating so hard to help America, and to thank the veterans. I should swing by the next time I am in the neighborhood, just to thank them for their kind gesture. In fact, I recommend that ALL the men who frequent Greasespot Cafe, to go The Midnight Bunny in Moundhouse and show our appreciation for their patriotism.

  8. Man I hate those ads, and the spam too. I certainly dont need any further enlargements, I need a blood transfusion to get it all up now.

  9. Cool. We send a box of Grocery store coupons overseas each month. The commissarys except them for 6 months beyond their expiration dates. To our knowledge every base has an FSC (family service center) where the familys that are having a hard time with things, can go and sort through boxes of coupons. We send our to US Naval Support Activity in Naples Italy. We have posted this previously, but it does help. All services are combined on one group of bases in Naples (Army, Air Farce, Navy, and Marines), with each service paying their members so differently, sometimes there are needs among the dependant families. While stationed there, my wife helped at FCS and taught other wives how to shop on the Italian economy. I have been recently blasted for using too many 'generalities'. Allow me to say, some of us (like the Navy) would get extra pays for other things (like BAQ, BAS, Sub, Consub, Sea, FSP), whereas other services by policy dont pay those extra pays. Similairly could be said concerning Federal Tax exemption: During each 'conflicts theater' the tax-free zone comes and goes. Each service has different policys concerning tax-free zones as well. While I was tax-free starting in 1983 and ending in 2001. I know the Air Farce only allowed their people to become tax-free, when they were armed. In either case, please do whatever you can. But dont forget the full-time military that has been serving us all for years. ET1 SS Galen USN Retired and University of Life Alumni Bless you

    I once heard that Strezpec was back in CT. I dont know for sure. I met him twice. He was the first Way Corpse nazi that I ever met. After I had been in TWI for 2 years, on that first meeting, in 1980, he told me that he had been 'pre-marriage' counseling a couple, but that he had no intention of ever marrying them, because they were not Corpse. He did not mind lying to them, because they were not corpse. Strezpec had strung them along for 6 months and they were getting ready to move as the guy (Harrel) was shipping out to a different home-port. (Due to the urgancy of their need, I had married the couple). He told me that since I had married the couple anyway, I was obviously born of a different spiritual father, other than the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and he threw me out of TWI. I met Strezpec a second time, at a Word and Business conference 10 years later. When I reminded him of who I was; He insisted that he had never told anyone that they were 'seed-of-serpent'. Rather he meant that I was born from a different source other than God, but not nessecarily from the devil. The couple by the way, is still together 22 years later. I talk with them occasionaly. My first experience with Way Corpse taught me valuable lessons, of which Steve Strezpec exemplify. ET1 SS Galen USN Retired and University of Life Alumni Bless you

    Cool, we spoke breifly on the old board. My wife knew Bruce Mahone, has not seen him for long time. He was not here, while I was, too bad. During the first period that I was here ('78-81) there were multiple WOW families and lots of PFAL classes. I recall a group of girl WOWs, that all the sailors dated when they were on the surface, and a group of military WOW on my opposite crew. Various subs ran classes, and there were twigs in Groton, New London, Norwich, Ocean Beach, and subase. When we returned in 90-93, there was one twig in Mystic, and we started one in Norwich.

  13. My eldest son works at a local commissary as a bagger (he bags your grocerys and carrys them out into the parking lot and loads them into your car for you), he gets around $50 each day. We have been a foster family, which pays anywhere from $10 each day for each empty bed, to as much as $50 each day for children placed with you. We have adopted and so we recieve child support, which today has risen to levels between $700 and $1,000 each month depending on the child and the state he comes from. All tax free, and seperate from the medical and educational coverage. Our eldest is now buying computers from retailers on the internet, he puts them together and tests them, for one day. Then he auctions them on E-bay. He has made a minimum of $50 so far on each deal. ET1 SS Galen Bless you
  14. Favorite body of water? hm Been to the FLORIDA keys, Coco Beach is nice, I really like to strip bars along there. Been to Lake Tahoe, the casinos are nice. Been to a Long Island beach was okay, where this California boy first body surfed. Been to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, oh my goodness what a place. I have also spent a few years sailing aound the North Pacific, and have even been through the inside Passage of South East Alaska, there is one point with a 16 knot current, wow. I have spent a few years sailing the North Atlantic, even one year in the North-north Atlantic, and have been through the panama canal thrice. I must say that my favorite beach was Aruba. Where I first fell in love with the best spectator sport that man has ever devised. Hot sun, laying on a white beach, drinking cheap rum, watching ladies as they play top-less ping-pong. Yes, I said ping-pong. Under palm trees, one resort had ping-pong tables along the beach. Our sub had broken and we stopped in Aruba while awaiting the arrival of repair parts. So a friend and I (he was the Catholic Lay leader, I was the protestant lay Leader) hiked around the island and ended on a beach behind a resort. 2 bottles of rum were cheaper than 2 sodas. So we settled down on these chaise lounge chairs, to drink a little coke with our rum; when the visitors of the resort came out and 2 dozen ladies began a ping-pong tournament. Not 10 feet from our chairs. Yes my favorite body (of water) is the carribean on the beachs of Aruba White sand, tanned limbs, bouncing assets. . . galen ET1 SS

    Rick Brown

    Rick was a large man. He was on submarines with me, in Groton. Then he went up to the Shipyard in Kittery Maine. I visited him up there and he was in a twig where he was the only male. I recall that I had never seen one of those before. I knew him from '77 - '82, or so. He was a close dear friend.
