Allen, that's a great picture of your wife holding the tiger cub!!!:eek: What's the story behind it?:D

Gah let me see if I remember it correctly, I was beside her but i cropped myself out lol, we've also got one with a baby lion too, Anyways I was about to go to boot camp and was nervous as you know what , Well we had traveled out of town to just have a fun day and get my mind of the hell I was fixing to go through, Anyways we had just ate and were gonna catch a movie afterwards, well the movie didn't start for a couple of hours so we went exploring. I saw a tent up in a huge parking lot, and I was like what is this? so we go over there and it's a traveling exhibit with these people who raise big cats, They had lions , tigers, panthers , A white tiger, a few monkies etc. well they bring out the baby tiger and its chewing on a gallon jug. Well this thing was only maybe 6-8 weeks old (i think ) and it's paws were enormous, I mean the size of a big big mans hands and this thing is jumping around and loving that gallon jug. So i go up and pet the guy and they start freaking NO NO don't touch the tiger he can hurt you bad. Well I'm petting the not so little guy and he takes eyes off of jug and puts eyes on me. Well he pounched on me and and was only playing but the power that little guy had was amazing, He was only playing , and I was trying to be the macho guy that was getting mauled by a baby tiger LOL, he latched on to my back , and was licking and play biting the back of my head, well they got the jug to his attention again and he jumped off me... Pics were posed to be 15 bucks per animal, we got pics with the lion, tiger, monkey, and a big python for free . LOL , When I got to boot camp the other guys were like dang where'd you get all those scratches, I replied my girlfriend just wanted to say goodbye..... Unfortunately the Drill Sergeants saw the scratches and I heard every phrase about Jody one could imagine thinking back now I wanna start a funniest thing your Drill Sergeants ever said to you, I'm good for about 4-5 pages...

Great story! And I got my forum name (Private Klink) from my Drill Instructor!:D

About seven miles south of Eureka Springs, Arkansas is a wildlife sanctuary called Turpentine Creek. They have mainly the big cats, but some bears and other animals as well. You can get as close as about four feet to their cages, but have to be careful you don't get sprayed! When it's feeding time they make an ENORMOUS racket!:eek: But it sure gives you a real appreciation for the animals that you can't get at a zoo.;):thumbup:

I was in with a guy his name was Private Private, pronounced pre-vet , or so he tried to tell them, he got it so bad I thought he was gonna go full metal jacket on one of our DI's, they found out it was his birthday, and he got to stand around and not do a thing while we got smoked for what seemed like 12 hours.......Ahhh the days

Talking about animals , I was coming home about 2 months ago, and a truck flashed its lights at me, I'm thinking police so I slow it down, and there is this thing trotting down the road, I coulda sworn it was a black panther, but I thought don't you tell a soul people will think your crazy, we'll theres a farm about 2 miles away from my house , and their goats and other animals were coming up missing, and they set up game cameras, can you guess what they caught on the cameras???
 
Not far from me some farmers/hunters have captureed pics of cougars and black bears both! The Conservation Department says the bears are coming up from Arkansas, and the cougars have moved East from the Western states. Really makes me feel justified carrying a pistol and knife all the time!:D

My Drill Instructor tagging me with "Private Klink" apparently thought the spelling of my last name was close enough to Colonel Klink from the Hogan's Heroes television show, but he sure wasn't going to call me Colonel!:D
 
I'll play too since it was my idea after all. :D




Could these pictures reveal the secret to busse's special heat treating method?

Quote from www.bussecombat.com/technical-specs about Heat Treat and Tempering Processes Used:

"Busse Combat knives are exposed to over 60 hours of smoking hot pictures of Lexi, Pokey, and tempering. It is in this process that the very soul of a blades performance will be born. It can also be the most expensive process involved in the making of a fine blade."

By gollee they may just be that hot!!!!:eek:
 
Alright, fine.

Hair was about twice as long as that up until earlier this week... cut it all off and donated it to Locks of Love.
 
Worst thing to ever happen to me in Basic?

Second day of Basic we were assigned an M16 and were supposed to memorize the serial number. Next day, we all went out to formation in the morning and they had the racks of M16’s all stacked up right off of the area where we formed up. They started calling off serial numbers, and when they called your number you were supposed to sound off with My Weapon Drill Sergeant and haul ass up to get it. After about 10 minutes, they called a serial number and no one called out. I was looking around wondering who the idiot was who forgot his serial number. Drill Sergeant called the serial number 4 or 5 times and was pissed as hell, so he grabs it by the barrel and tosses it straight up in the air and it tumbles end over end and comes down and lands barrel first and sinks about 10 inches straight into the ground. As soon as he threw it, I suddenly realized THAT’S MY SERIAL NUMBER.

I ended up doing mountain climber and pushups after that so long I could barely move. I got KP for a week, and was on every Drill Sergeants shit list for quite a while. That was the worst week or two of my life in Basic. Good news for everyone else, it took a LOT of the heat off of them.

Lol, you know they apparently have cards now if a DI is getting you too worked up u pull the card and they haft to stop. When I heard that I was like you have to be kidding me most of the time it took everything I had not to laugh at them and u have people getting too stressed out in the regular armys basix training , you gonna pull a card out in combat , oh excuse me Mr. Taliban I'm too stressed take my stress card...
 
I have heard about the "STRESSED" cards in the Army, particularly Ft. Jackson.. a.k.a. "Relaxin Jackson" from a D.I. after a VFW Honor Guard/burial detail. I have never heard that about the Marines though! I sure hope that it doesn't apply to THEM!;)

You're right about the Taliban not respecting any kind of "Stressed" cards!:D:thumbup:
