He said after being in the beginning classes he was seeing changes almost over night. He studied about everything he was able to get his hands on about what the training would consist of and within 7 months the entire training programs had changed and the changes made him begin to feel uncomfortable. He didn't elaborate and I didn't push. He left with an honorable of 4 years. He came to me the other day and we had a long talk. He still feels that he wants to serve his country much more than he has and he has been talking to some Rangers and guys in Ranger training and they said that their programs have also changed since they enlisted. I told him, son, your still a very young man with your whole life ahead of you. Lets wait a few years and look at this again. I don't know if he will or not but I will support what ever his decisions are. I just hope he waits..................jmho

Those days need to come back. I think to steal a mans cows is like stealing his money and should be dealt with in the same way if caught...................A bullet between the eyes to all of them and a phone call.

I think it already has. My Grandson entered the navy to become a Seal and believe me he is Seal material and that was all he talked about and he lived, breathed and slept it. On his second Leave when he came home he looked at me and said Poppaw I won't be re-enlisting and I hope your not ashamed of me for not doing it. And I got up and walked over and hugged him and said Son I could never be ashamed of you and your decisions. He is home now and I am thrilled because i feared for his life every minute he was gone.

I thought they kept saying he was a closer or reliever all through the game and talking about how many pitches he was making?

Believe me you will get caught at any turkey shoots with one cause those guys don't mess around. My gun was not even sleeved and I was asked to leave and you really don't argue with them to much with that many other guys with guns. They make great duck guns but don't ever make the mistake of firing a slug out of one. It will banana peel the end of the barrel and possibly hurt someone..........jmho

The SF pitcher did his job but that was a lot of pitches for a reliever to throw.     300 is unheard of for a reliever/closer pitcher. he earned his money last night. On that last hit I would have sent the guy home and took my chances at home plate. I also didn't agree with that call on first base that went under review for 2.5 minutes and then over turned the call on the field. I think it was to close to call or reverse the call on the field. I thought all ties went to the runner but evidently not. I was not for either team but wish I would have watched more of it than last game. I don;t know how many of ya'll watch them but I love watching the Little League World Series. I never miss any of those games. Those kids play their hearts out every game......... :up:  :up:   

It's a cheaters gun at turkey shoots but what it is, is a gun that a gun smith or a really good guy with guns will insert a sleeve into the barrel from the end of the chamber to the end of the barrel and it is so thin it is almost undetectable to the naked eye but it is designed to make the gun shoot a really tighter pattern than normal full choke barrels. That is what they thought my O/U had been done to it. I did find out later that the barrels were untouched and that is how they came from the factory and it was a fluke gun or freak gun , how ever you look at it but it was a darn good duck gun for sure and turkey shoot gun to for 1 round............. :rofl:  :rofl:  

I saw that this morning and said to myself dang son , you killed the tree................ :rofl: :rofl:

My little brother shoots an old Winchester single barrel that was passed down through the family from my grandfather and he does win quite often and the gun has been checked for being sleeved and it has been confirmed that it is a factory untouched barrel. Gun holds a fairly tight pattern and is a 32 inch full choke 2 3/4 chamber. All of the shoots he attends only allow a winner to win 3 times per shoot. He wins a turkey, a canned or country ham and then either a slab of uncut country bacon or a butchers block 5lb tube of bologna......... :up:

It said it does not have service in my area

I would not mind it at all if a farmer with a good long range weapon could drop a couple of them in the pasture and then disable the truck with a round or two but he needs to take out the look out first cause you know they will have one with a cell phone. They had to cut locks on two gates to get into the pastures....................jmho

Well look at Chris Kyle. It seems like soon as they become known to the world they seem to die. For a long time no one knew except an elite few knew that Chris was a Seal Sniper and one of the most if not the best ever and  when he comes out and starts trying to help people, one of the people he is trying to help ends up killing him. People who have a past need to leave it in the past unless they have a death wish....................jmho

I bet he finds out about it though and all we can do is hope a seed is planted.

There was some cattle rustling  went on down in Spring Hill today.  Guys with a big white Trailer being towed by a Super Dually Pick up truck. Of course the people that saw the trailer could not tell them the make of the truck. I hate to say this but I think many folks have no clue about be up to date on anything any more. i bet a lot of people have to type their home address into their GPS units in their cars just to find their own way home...............I have got to where I am going out of my way to learn certain things about new cars so I would be able to actually identify one by name brand and color should I see a crime take place. Anyway someone is gonna be eating steaks pretty soon I would guess but might be hard to get it processed unless they do it themselves.....................jmho

In all honesty I thought between Obama and Biden running their mouths and the Chinook that went down in Afghanistan I thought all of the team that took Bin Laden out were already dead.?????????.....................jmho Now that is has been released that he is going to come out I hope they already have the interview because he probably won't make it till November 11th......................jmho

Well right now I am paying $53.94 with cricket and have unlimited talk, unlimited nation wide long distance, Call waiting, 3 way calling, voice mail, text, and 3G of Broadband for computer and a few other options I don't even have turned on that I could have at no extra charge and all on my little flip phone I dearly love. Don't want anything the do with any phone that is flat with a screen that you moves things around with your finger period. In all honesty Technology to a point SUCKS!!!!!     I want you to know that I went to cell phone store with Grandson to buy a new cell phone he wanted. Yea one of them damn smart phones. He told the guy what he wanted and the guy goes back and says yep, greatest thing going right now. I want you to know that before he got done having the phone programmed the guy asked him if he was sure he didn't want the updated version of that phone because it came out a week ago and the new version came out last night at midnight. It's a crock when your buying was it suppose to be the newest and find out your brand new phone is already obsolete............ Technology just needs to slow down so the good guys can catch up with the bad guys (hackers)..............jmho

I have had the Verizon episode before I went to Cricket and I won't ever make that mistake again. I was with a small phone company that i can't even remember the name of now but I loved the company and I could bank any unused minutes up to the next month and they kept adding u because I didn't ever use my 300 minutes.     Well Verizon bought out this little company but never bothered to notify the customers of the little company to let them know all of their banked minutes were not longer good. Well had some family emergencies that month and used my phone a lot. When Verizon converted every ones account every ones service went to 100 minutes which meant mine went from 300 plus my banked minutes.   First time I learned that Verizon had purchased the small company was when I got a bill from Verizon for $1096.35 for 1 month because they charged me a ridiculous price for all the minutes I used over 100. I told them to turn off my service and where they could put that damn bill. They sued me which I knew they would. Lets put it this way. Evidently the judge in court that day must have had the small phone company service also. Cause he told the Verizon rep and their attorney that when they could provide 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt proof that they contacted every person that was a customer of the small company of their intentions come back to court and until then my case was dismissed and I owed them zero. Screw me once your fault, Screw twice my fault. It is never going to be my fault cause no one gets a second shot a screwing me..........................jmho

Last time I went to one of those I was only allowed to shoot once and won a Country Ham but was asked to leave. I asked if I could just put my gun up and watch and the guy said yea but when your watching folks shoot and the hair on the back of you neck keeps standing up from folks looking at you, you figure it's time to leave. I went there and met my little brother there cause he shot at this one in Greenbrier Fire Department Turkey shoot often. I told him to see if he could find out why I was asked to leave. He told me later that it is seldom that a shooter shoots a gun at the paper target and it cuts the center out of the target and cuts the target stick in half.   He said that indicates a Sleeved gun and they are illegal at Turkey Shoots. Well since I use to shoot turkey shoots up north at gun clubs but we shot clay pigeons coming out of trap houses it was a different situation. But with that said I was not using my  clay bird gun either. I was using a gun I got from my older brother in a trade for an old hump back Browning semi auto I had he wanted. It was a gun made in Brazil and was a 12 gauge 2 3/4- 3 in chamber O/U 30" F&F duck gun. Until that day I had never fired the gun and had no clue what kind of pattern it shot.     Later on that Fall when duck season opened up I was invited to go duck hunting with a few friends and I took that O/U and bought 1 box of 3 inch and had a box of 2 3/4 HB# 4 shot. I was knocking down ducks with the #4 shot rounds that the other guys were having trouble reaching with 3 inch magnums. After the day was over I think I bagged about 11 ducks of assorted breeds and everyone got birds but I had this one buddy that walked up to me and asked if I would sell the gun. I mean this was a beautiful O/U all engraved with really beautiful wood, gold trigger with select safety to choose which barrel you could fire.     In all honesty I have never been into pretty guns but more into guns I don't mind scratching or using without worrying about them. He was a buddy and a metro Police officer and at first I stumbled about throwing an answer out and he said I will give you $900.00 cash for the gun. I shudder a second and he went to a grand and I handed him the gun but I was going to hand it to him on $900.00.     I didn't really have anything in the gun. My brother gave me the gun and $300.00 for the Browning Humpback that I had $150.00 in. I spoke to him about a year or so ago at a pawn shop that a mutual friend of ours owns and he still has that gun and shoots it every duck season and I think we made that deal back in I want to say 87 or 88. I had to laugh when he told me he took it the a Police Department Fund Raiser Turkey shoot for Toys for Tots and was disqualified and had to go home and get a different gun and come back. I said yea i should have warned you about that................ :rofl:  :rofl:  We had a good laugh over that. That was the 1st and only time going to a meat shoot down here........ :up:  :up:

For those of you that are not sure how things work. When a company reaches a point that it can begin franchising it's business name it does so because they can receive a small amount of funds from every franchise store that is open. Normally 7% but that means that every franchise store receives the benefits of all the advertising that is done by corporate as part of that 7% which to me is really cheap advertising benefits. Now with that said Corporate has a set layout of rules that each franchise store is required to follow to remain part of the family of that business. I went and looked at the basic requirements to become a Papa John franchise location and the decision of whether you make your business a gun free work environment and business it entirely up to the Franchise Owner of that particular store or chain of stores they own and not the policy of Papa Johns Corporation.  

Well, all good things must come to an end as usual. I have been with Cricket Phone Service for almost 16 years with phone and 10 years with phone and broad band Service. Cricket had 4.5 million customers nation wide and AT&T absorbed them like they were flea on an elephants butt. So sometime with in the next year my cricket flip phone will be junk and I will be forced to buy a 500.00 I-phone of some kind and have no clue about what will happen to my computer broad band. I can tell them right now, I ain't buying no $500.00+ phone from any one and I will going back to dial up before I will pay for an outrageous computer on line server. So what kind of phone companies are ya'll using and are you happy with them cause I will be switching shortly if I can find one affordable.  Any replies will e greatly appreciated................................ :up: :up: :up:

I would like to thank each and every member for supporting me in their choice to buy a Pizza from Papa Johns this weekend. I do realize there has been a history with employees with the company and I know that you can find those same issues with every company in that type of business. None of them are without fault. I know the issue was recently mentioned from a former employee that Papa Johns has a great and powerful PR firm but so does every other company that deals and depends on the public to survive. Like I mentioned earlier I lost a close friend in a robbery similar to the one last week and he worked for Bellisarios and there was 3 other employees killed with him and no one from any of the families heard one word from the Bellisario's. There was two Dominoes drivers robbed and killed and not one word to the families from Dominoes to either family. Now of course Papa Johns has a Collateral damage team in their PR section and they could have sent any higher up representative to cover the PR issues. I'm sure it was not the PR firms idea that John Schnatter(Papa John) himself be the one to go. He runs the company and could have sent anyone but chose to go himself. For that the man has earned my respect. Below is a part of the interview with the young mans sister.She didn't expect this either and I feel the same way the family did. Interview: We never once imagined that this would touch anyone high up in the Papa John's corporate office, let alone, John Schnatter," Devan Cronin wrote. "He was visibly distraught when speaking to my family about the tragic loss of my brother and it was apparent that he didn't come just to pay lip service." Cronin said Papa John's also paid for Schaffer's funeral service and medical expenses. But, she added, "this display of support was so much more meaningful than any monetary donation."  

Well, who isn't money driven at one point of another? I went and looked at the link you have posted. I would expect him to have a big fine home. so what!!! If you were a successful business man would you live in the Government housing or a nice house in the country. There are disgruntled employees from every company on earth. I don't care if they were paid minimum wages or $750,000.00 a year. If they get fired or quit they will always bad mouth the company. If a person is not happy in his job he has 3 choices. Get a new one. Live on the street on Welfare or open his own business and become one of those people they seem to hate.........................jmho

Yea, I know Glock, I went and looked at the Corporate program and could not find any where that the corporation itself has a firearms issue. But then about 85% of Papa Johns is franchise businesses owned by people other than Papa John himself. Heck Peyton Manning owns about 12 papa John stores in the Greater Denver area. That is why it just depends on which franchise owner operates the store in your neighborhood as to whether your firearms are welcome of not. A lot of the franchises leave that decision up to the store managers. I carry concealed everywhere I go and make sure I don't even print and I have got to where I don't even bother looking for the signs anymore. If I want to go in I do sign or no sign. If they don't want me business they can ask me to leave...............jmho  

Yea Tricky, several years back a Papa Johns Pizza driver shot an armed robber and ended up getting fired over it and another disgruntled employee that got fired for getting robbed and it looked like 99% inside job and the Police never investigated it. I could probably go to Pizza Hut, Dominoes Jet Pizza of any company that does home deliveries that deals in cash and find a book of these kind of issues. Thing is I do know that two Dominoes drivers were killed on year and not one person from the Dominoes Organization showed up or gave a damn. Just hired more warm bodies.................jmho
