Thanks to all. I haven't done anything to celebrate yet. I am planning on calling Family members tonight and spreading the good news.
Batik - That is great I am planning on taking Akane to her home during Thanksgiving i am hoping we all can meet.
I though about changing the Picture but I will leave that upto someone with an Adobe program because all I have is Paint on the goverment comps. Anybody want to give it a try... go ahead. I would love to see it.
Cool. Maybe we can meet. Oh yeah, is it alright if a few of my pals tag along? They have been bugging me about going somewhere so I agreed to pick a place. And they heard there were good malls in Tehachapi so they wanted to tag.
Modifying the picture? I have a bunch of editing stuff but I am not sure what pic you meant. I could probably help out though
.
TO celebrate id say get ur katana out and start chopping up watermellons.
Good luck finding a Katana and a Watermelon in Iraq, right, Morg.
Batik - The picture I am reffering to is in one of my post on page 16 of this thread. Nina182B thought the pick would say my IA handle but it has my real name. Can you fix it?
KA-TA - I might have some trouble finding those melons, but swords hell the Iraq's are selling them by the ton at the bazara. They are mostly Scimitars...
What? I thought I heard someone talking about melons. So whose melons are we talking about? :eek:
Batik- Well your friends are sadly mistaken aboutthe malls in Tehachapi... That is my hometown and they only got three stop lights in last year....... in the whole town..... if you wantto go fishing it is great or if you wantto get away from the hassle of life then you go to Tehachapi, Where is used to go to party was either, Lancaster palmdale area..... or on the other side of the mountain would be Bakersfield. Those are the places with a few malls in it.... anyways it would be nice to meet with you Batik...by the way where is your hometown if you don't mind me asking......
Morg- You never told me about going home for Thanksgiving??? Was this going to be a surprise....?:confused:

The most wonderful thing happened today. After years of hard work and testing I was promoted to Staff Sergent today. This is a great day. They promoted over 13,000 of us out of a pool of 33,000. That is only 40%. Of and my line number (when I get to be a Sergent) is 569. 569 out of the 13000 promoted. It sounds great but it also means I have been around along time. it took me 3 times to get this rank, it only took Schultz 2. So while I am excited I know I shoulc have tried harded the 2nd time.
Congrats Morg.. Now next time i get to see yea i get to punch yea a few times.. ;o)
Thanks Schultz. If you are vwondering why he get's to punch me it's a tradition thing. It is a way to ensure my stripes don't fall off. Or get ripped off for that matter.
Schultz how long have you known Morgorath?

Akane- Well, my original hometown was Passadena, but I am now situated in Frazier Park. It is between Bakersfield and L.A. Oh yeah, the malls might not be so great in Tehachapi but who says my friends have to know?
