    We are switching teams this year. Moved from Katy, supported my kids team, Seven Lakes, to Kerens, TX. Get to go from 6a to 2a football this year. Going to be interesting.

    I am moving also. Its 4 hours away, we are leaving to day to stay near new place to ride the GC's ass so he gets done. Getting her out of the house and not coming back. Paid movers to pack. Daughter in her boyfriend are meeting the movers to make sure everything gets loaded. Much easier and less stress.

    This is spot on. I work for large enterprise and work in security. We have apps that have been around for years, demo's to clients but they were so/so on them. Change the name to something with AI, they are all over it, can't get enough of it. Just like cloud, SAAS, this is all regurgitated tech but change the name and away we go.

    I recently bought an old house in Kerens, not too far from there. I would tell you to drop by, it's off 31 but I have 8 pecan trees and some other trees in my yard. I may be at the house but not sure, I am driving up from Houston to drop off some things for the house so I will be in the area but may go somewhere else to watch.

    Girlfriend likes flying cheap so we use Spirit a lot. As for delays, past year Spirit has been on time for every flight we have. Can't say the same for SWA or United. We always get the first row for a little extra money and we check a bag. As for the clientele, it is interesting... And as others as said, I will go out of my way to fly direct. That is why we also use SWA and United out of Houston.

    I really want to see Big12 add UConn as team 14 and stop. Only reason is, this thread will get really entertaining. 😀

    Most companies use Proxies that block comercial VPN's, your work can and will track your internet usage using that proxy.

    What I dont get is why do they get special treatment? Send them to jail, the docs they sign to get the clearance state this is punishable by jail time. I had TSI, son has TSI, both of us Army. If I took home classifed stuff, even by accident I would lose clearance and get punshed. Take away the clearance and lock all of them up and even go further and check all of House and Senate. Doesn't matter if you dont think it should be classifed, it is. They are breaking the law and should not be in office.

    Nope, they can inspect with notice. From the new Housing Bill of Rights from last year. The right to have reasonable, advance notice of any entrance by a landlord, installation housing staff or members of the chain of command into the housing unit, except in the case of an emergency or abandonment of the housing unit Back when I was squad leader in the 101st I had to go to a PFC's housing offbase. He was late all the time and had lots of issues. His trailer was nasty and so was his wife. Gross. Ended up having him move into barracks and his wife went back home with kid.

    Did same with my son. He went to Toyota to buy one and the rates were terrible.

    My son wants a Tacoma. He told me that a lot of the junior officers at Bliss had Tacomas. 🤣

    I was at Benning, Harmony Church, Aug 85, they smoked you, cussed you and pushed you around as needed. No AC in barracks, they were from WW2 and only time off was Sunday morning for Church. All snail mail. Food wasnt bad, I put on 35 Lbs in OSUT. Next stop the 25th in Hawaii, food was OK, unit sort of sucked, light infantry and in the fiels constantly. Next was LRSU in Germany, food sucked, and unit sucked. Next was HHC, 7th Corps, very good chow beceause we had a 3 star and 1 start who ate in mess hall. Went to Desert Storm with 7th Corps, worked in the Corp TAC, pretty cool, there is picture of me in a book General Franks did. Lastly was 101st, food sucked and the barracks were terrible, dark and old.

    Just watch Faces of Death, I think there are a few of them?

    My son was at Jackson and they had a FB page to follow. Psoted pictures of recruits training and gave weekly updates of what they are doing and what they did. Do they have it for your son's unit? It was cool to see pics on son in training while he was there. Also on the phone thing, back in mid 80's when i went to basic they would smoke us bad and had other forms on punshiment, today they take there Sunday phone privelage away instead of smoking them.

    Amazon has them for less then a dollar a pack. I may go that route this year. In a new house so I can hand these out this year and never have to hande out candy again.

    My son is Army, graduates AIT on the 4th. Basic goes by fast. Heck even the 6 months my son spent in AIT has gone by fast. He got his orders and he is going to 1st Armored at Bliss. He is luck, his MOS is Signal Intel so he will be in Brigade S2 or Division G3. So not to bad.

    Roatan

    TexasGrunt replied to Bevo's topic in Food and Travel

    I spent about a month there last year. Few weeks on Roatan and a week on Utilia. Roatan I stayed in West End and West Bay. I went for the diving. West End is town, more shops and resturants. West Bay for the beach, most resturants were Hotel resturants. But there is a water taxi, think it was 3 US 1 way that you can get to between the 2 locations. Utilia is much smaller, golf cart to ge around, lots of backpackers working on scuba certs to become instructors. If going hire a driver on Roatan and go check out the island, also mangrove tour was pretty cool.

    Saw posted by Bama Chick in regards to son graduating Marine Basic, he left on October and this is first time seeing him. This is big difference from Army, my son started basic in October also but the Army gave them a 2 week break over Christmas. LOL. FYI, I was in Army 85 to 92, I have had a few calls with my son and um, lets just say Basic has changed since 85. I am heading to Ft. Jackson tomorrow for his graduation, after that he is heading out to Goodfellow AFB for Signal Intel training for 6 months. His recruiter and I convinced him to not go Infantry like I was.

    I had it 2 weeks ago. Symptoms started 4 days after my Pfizer booster. All my kids got it to. Ex's family decided to still have their Christmas party and new years eve party. It spread from there. Luckily her unvaxxed parents didn't get it. Wasn't to bad for any of us. 2 days of what I always call crud, just felt like shit like I do with allergies. Kids are vaxxed and older and in shape so they had a sore throat and sniffles.

    My kids go or went to Seven Lakes. What KISD does for KHS is crazy.
  24. TexasGrunt
    Next year will be crazy in Katy. Paetow and Jordan are moving up to 6a so the district will have 9 teams. Going to to be interesting to see how Paetow does against Katy Tigers.

    All except for Egypt. Egypt was different, they required PCR not rapid and they wanted to see card and proof in Egypt but like I said they just saw US card and passport and said welcome to Egypt. Didn't look that hard. As for using image on phone not sure about that. We are behind, other countries have bar codes for scanning and look better then our cards. I did my vac at Fort Bend county site and my card is in pencil that I filled out, no one has questioned me on it, even on the cruise I took.
