    Oh come on. Who would want a book by an Air Force jock? Correct... NO ONE. LOL And besides that, I don't want your free book. Tell us the name and who printed it and I'll gladly pay for it on Amazon or whoever. You don't need to be giving away free copies... make us pay. I received one free book and it was because I gave the author a lot of stuff to use. Make us pay..... we aren't that poor. LOL Book name and publisher please.

    OK...feel proud... you just sold a book. I ordered it on line from BookTango. It'll give me something to read when I'm in Seattle over the holidays.

    A bit at a loose in the title? What in the hell does an airforce jock have to rant about... other than slower than normal promotions>lOL My son went Air Force... when he went in, Duke ROTC, he thought he would make it a career. They sent him to school in Missippi for almost a year... then to Colorado Springs He just about died from boredum. He said his highlight of the day was coffee and reading the paper. The kid had a mind and an education and they gave him nothing to do except go in the mountain once in a while. He finally put in for an early out and got it. His next job and one he holds now was working for Bill Gates. He still says... I really wanted to make the military a career... but they gave me nothing to do. That's a sad commentary. But the upside... he makes a whole lot of money now. LOL How else could he put himself and wife on a plane and fly to Oahu for a long weekend. They got home last night on the redeye.

    Although it's against my morals as an Army pilot, I believe I'll break down and order the Air Force fella's book!

    Well thanks Ryan, but I was an army chairborne ranger (MI) for 3 tours. Then, as a Korean linguist, the army in their infinite wisdom sent me to Germany and then stationed me on an air force base. What's a guy to do?

    I'll sign up!

    My reasoning is this:

    You have challenged me in a duel, and to quote Sun Tzu, "If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles."

    I don't need no money, sold my Foreman 500 and paid med bills AND bought Christmas presents. Every penny made on this book goes to my granddaughter's college fund.

    That's the spirit... make them feel sorry for your poor granddaughter. LOL Come on you cheap suckers... support the girls college fund. LOL I just love college girls. Oh wait, that makes me a dirty old man. Anyway, buy the guys book...it's cheap. You don't have to pay 20dollars extra because he's a big name author.

    No, David they have no reason to feel sorry for my granddaughter as that little lady will do just fine. Now back to the original reason for this post, besides Fitz and Oly, anyone else?

    Do that. I still haven't received my book. Must be they're letting the ink dry. If it doesn't get here by Friday I'll have to read it when I get back from Seattle Jan 4.
