Hy everybody, i just wanted to ask for your prayer, i have just been called for deployment down to New Orleans for riot patrol, and cleanup. I just ask for your prayer for not me, but my fellow soldiers going down there with me and those people that are still aiding in relief down there as well...

I have that on a plack in my barracks!

I am currently employed by Uncle Sam, yes i am in the US Army and i love it. After a grueling 15 weeks of training i was sent on my way. Benifits are unmatched, pretty much all health care is free as well as dental. I have free housing and food, though the housing isnt much and the food isnt...

Hey, just so you know, your life isnt signed away until you join the military such as myself. I did the college thing though and i know wha tyou were talking about, trust me, you have more time than you realize you just have to find it. Just look at what you are doing and how long you are...

Hey everyone, i am looking to apply for wocs so i can fly helicopters, and i was wondering if anyone here has gone through the army warrant officer program. I would like any tips if possible and just any advice that could be given to get in and through the training. Any response would be...

Hard to get is always fun, but they can only be hard to get up to a certain extent, otherwise they just seem impossible to get. If they are too desperate, they seem to become too overbearing very quickly and being someone who is in the military, i cant see a girlfriend every waking moment that...

well...i got a couple dorky things about myself. 1. I am a science geek, and you'd never know it by looking at me 2. I know the latin names of a lot of fish 3. I love disney and pixar movies, i think they are a hoot. 4. I just said "hoot"

Yeah, in general army stays more towards the land...but there are the select few positions, such as Army Diver (22b) in which water is where they reside

Hey all, i dont know who else has become very bored with taking the GUR's, but for me it is also becoming tedious and hasslesome being in college. I am getting good grades, have a 3.25 gpa and all that good jazz through 48 credits, but i ahve become bored. I have always loved learning about...

It is true that you cant survive in that water for more than 15 minutes...hypothermia should set in within 3 or so...but the good news is, if you drown in that water, because it is so cold, you have right about an hour to be revivedand be perfectly healthy afterwards. Gotta love the Alaskan water!

Mostly i catch and release for rainbow trout, but the only real fun rainbows to catch are the native ones, not the trout that are stocked into lakes and streams. When it comes to salmon fishing, that is food fishing! Anyways about the laws, they all exist for a reason, they are all there to...

The easiest way to meet people and talk to them for me at least is to just introduce you to some people that you sit next to in classes, or if you live in the dorms, just introduce yourself to your neighbors, the people down the hall, so forth. Just find some people that you think might be a...

I started my first day of college today, I go to Alaska Pacific University, they have a weird schedual there, so i have one class for 5 hours a day for 1 month, then it goes to a regular semester. Anyways, i started school today, and got my first reading assignments, i had to read from 2...

Talkeetna is definately a small place, little town of a couple thousand, nothing big, but it is big on tourism, worth checking some of the stuff out. I've been to denali national park a number of times in my life, i like it a lot, lots of wildlife. Last time i went i had the rare treat of...

Hunting is such a blast, though most of the time for me it is just using a .22 or a 12-.410 guage shotgun. But when fall comes around, there is moose and bear up here in alaska to hunt:) I love it! Me and my dad usually use a 7mm Mag, a 30-06, or a little .300 savage. The 7mm definately makes...

Canoeing trips in lakes and down rivers with the occasional white water is a blast, my dad has seemed to have perfected canoing (or it seems to me), so it makes for some very fun trips.

Talkeetna is definately a fun place to go, i spend a ton of my time up there, and i love it, its like a second home to me. I dont know what you will be doing, but ther eis great fishing if you go on a charter (mahay's or tri river charters) or you can fly out of talkeetna and do some sight...

Hey, shakespears are nice rods even though they are cheep, you can almost tie them in a knot they are so flexible:) i broke my Lamiglass IM700 last year and had to finish off most of the season with my mom's shakespear...the action is slow, but it looks really cool when you hook a fish because...

Much like alaska:P, but i dont watch tv here, you know, the college is has no cable or tv's or any of that stuff, i cant wait til i get back to ak though:)

The dirty work is done, i hate tying my backing or leader to my fly line, it is such a pain. I've been tying the same nail knot since i was six, yet it still takes me about the same ammount of time to get it right:) What kind of rod and reel are you using. Those newer large arbor reels are...
