Melvin & ScottW:

Good luck guys and happy hunting!!

I've got just over 35 years of service and must retire next year, I doubt I'll be able to join you...but wished I could.

Have a great holiday season and may the force be with you.

Good Luck John!!!
I hope all you guys/gals get him, and if you do make sure you step on his sack for a while, before you lynch him!
I hope your Dad is going to take good care of your fire-breathin' 502, for you, if it gets to be too much for him, I know about 6000 forum members who would be glad to take over for him. :)

Merry Christmas to you guys too. Dont know you yet, but I get the idea that "Stay low" is a good thing to wish you right now. I did 23 years in the Navy myself. Hope to get to know you when you get back.

Like the president said......."We will get him....alive?...maybe....dead?....just as good."
