I've been lurking for a year or so. I am the site manager at a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite tracking ground station on Diego Garcia for the last 6 years. Before that I worked at Yuma Proving Ground for 8 years. That's my connection to the Cardinals. I was there when they moved. I used to consider myself a closet Cardinal fan. You know, close the door, turn off the light, lock the door and tune into the game. Everyone I worked with was into any other team.
This is the year. I don't want to offend anyone this early but Plummer was a large part of the problem. Now that he's gone I feel this team is on the right track. Hodgins, Jackson and Blake are very refreshing to me. Emmit was with Doll Azz for a long time and it's hard to say this but I'm swinging towards being glad he's aboard. He's showing this team what it is going to take to step up to the next level. Same with Jackson.
I'm learning so much of the game through you guys. Walter is the man. I know of him via the old board. Too bad he only posts once a week.
I know the custom here but I'll take anything from Chretins in Yuma and a cervesa.
It will be very interesting to see what you guys will ask for from me living on Diego Garcia. The fishing is great! How about some blacken Wahoo or fresh sashimi?

Thanks

PS I'm 12 hours ahead of you. It's 2230 and I need to hit the sack. A hard night of shooting pool and the Jack Daniels has caught up with me. So forgive me if I don't reply often.:wave:

Welcome! I just joined this month. I teach at a school for "behaviorally challenged" kids, so at times, during detention, I have time to write on this board. Too much negativity on this board, but as Cardinal fans, I can see its justification. Anyways, welcome and be proud!

Nice to hear from you. I'll have a sixer of Red Stripe, a ripe lime, and three fried plantains.

Welcome- is Diego Garcia anywhere near San Diego, or Sergio Garcia?

I love fish, I'll have a couple filets from Mrs. Paul's and a bottle of Blue Agave mash.

Hey maddogkf,

That was very good. Not too many have heard of Diego Garcia until the **** hit the fan. We've been involved with everything before and after September 11. We're what make smart bombs smart. I'm a contractor for the Air Force. We are tax free out here and very close to Thailand and the Philippines my favorite stopming grounds for rental friends.

Welcome 8ndkorner, Everybody DG is a real small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It is run by the British. It is a great fishing spot. Been there once myself. You gotta watch out for them dam crabs (huge suckers and mean)..

ZONA99, Where you here in the service? Navy most likely.

The navy girls are not all that. Air Force girls are special. During Desert Storm the big jokes were:

What do you call 2 navy girls in the shower together?
Gorillas in the mist.

What do you call a navy girl walking into a bar?
Incoming scuds.

Oh man! I'm already offending somebody. Oh well, it's been fun guys.

Thanks guys and gals. I'm about ready to drop. Need to get some shut eye.
I'm sorry to see Cheese let go for a few days but understand SSKORPs position. He's in very close to the organization. I believe there are those within that check out this board thanks to him and nidan.
When they come to the defence I have to believe that this is the reason.
You have to admit that them checking out this board is pretty cool.
No takers for fresh tuna sashimi?
