Yeah... we are a "Department" of the Navy. That's been changed several times. I've heard that they've asked to change it again.

Toooo many sheep jokes there! \:\)

I love being a Marine (for the record.. I've been out since 99.. once a Marine.. always a Marine). 3rd Generation.. Parris Island.. and yes.. it definitely changes a person.

I firmly believe that all Male member of the US should serve their country for 2 years. Would make a WORLD of difference.

I'm not adverse to having women do the same, but I'm not about to fight that battle!!

So.. I guess the horse thing is probably off.

W called and sounded upset.. she asked if I could get the Bridle that we showed our Mare in ready. Evidently MIL will be by tomorrow to get it.. there is a potential buyer for the Mare.

That was tough.. she said she did't want to talk and I didn't push. Probably came off as calous, but again.. not wanting to seem too available. This was her choice.. she is now having to deal with some of the negatives. I can't be her rock on this one.
