eeew GI juice. Glad I was a tech. We had the best lifestyle. On endeavour we even had a spa pool made up. It was fucking wicked.

Oh yeah and 3Echo - just flood it to put out the fire. It's only the gunners. Actually wasn't that the front bums mess towards the later years? I can't remember I left 7 years ago now. Go 3Mike Port

dont think NZ is safe..the Japanese were keen to get a foothold here in WW2 and if it wasn't for US Admiral Nimitz im pretty sure the map would look a bit different today.. NZ IS being invaded .. not through military means .. through immigration .. Mt. Roskill has a HUGE Arab community.. you cant tell me for a blue second that NONE of the Islamic immigrants has connections or at least loyalty to the extremists ..lets not forget about Asian gangs ..(which the NZ police are ill-equipped to deal with)

i arrived here Sept 20 2001 .. on that day ( look it up) there was a boat full of Afghan Refuges arrived..apparently they had been on the water for a few months at that time ..for some reason , they HAD to get out of Afghanistan right away .. think maybe they knew something was coming .. how could they have known??.. i doubt the Taliban took out a full page advert in the Afghan Daily news to say " we are attacking the US , prepare to leave.."

NZ is a target BECAUSE it is so far out off the beaten path .. The conflict in the Middle East has Coalition Troops everywhere..communications are monitored and its hard to pull anything together without being busted ..

example: the cops are all over SH16.. lets look at a map .. whats another ' out of the way' road with nice twisties and low plod numbers ...???

never underestimate your strategic value on the world stage my friend ..
