Don't forget the money that's going to be wasted invested in reconstruction.

Somehow, I won't be as lucky when they fly my E-5 ass out of Fort Sill OK.Originally posted by Lonestar
Was. Turns out there wasn't enough money in the budget to get my ass flown out to the ship (I'm an E-3), so I'm killing time here in Pensacola.
All the money's going to blowing stuff up!
All of our M-16's, M-203's, and our two M60's are packed in the armory truck and ready to go. Our gear is on pallets and all that awaits is for Saturday to roll around and for us to drive out to Fort Sill. We will spend a week or so there getting even more gear, shots, and maybe some more NBC training. Then we will board the commerical jet chartered for the 224th and we will be on our way to Kuwait or Turkey for our first of many homes.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

adios
I just wanted to make my last post in a BAC thread. I know its just a story but it is a story that for a while carried me to another place when my real life seemed to be crumbling around me. Through the joy of meeting my fiance to the pain of watching her die, BAC was always a backdrop that I used to write away the turmoil. I understand that in the course of my absence some or all of you all may drift away because of the pressures of real life or a lack of progress in BAC. That's ok. Perhaps in time it will rise back to full strenght.
BAC was never my story. It is the story of Franky, Mr. President, Kass, Sovereign, General Tac, History Guy, Lonestar, Silence, Cybergod and yes even Mellian and Alynzia. All Smac addics with a fertile imagination and a talent for sharing those imaginations. I for on am glad that you all shared.
If I were Marcus Kessel, I would maintain my firm Spartan exterior and simply go away to do my duty. But I am Chris Sprayberry, so I'll allow myself a smile and a small sense of pride at our accomplishment. Keep on writing in some form or another so I'll have plent of Smac stories to catch up on when I get back.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief.

Where ya been, Silence?Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

I been mostly at Spacebattles and the Frontier which has been sucking up most of my time.
I kept on delaying comeing back becuase of each new crisis that would occur, and it was when I came across a google search of somebody asking where I was (from this forum) I decided I should make a post here to proove that I am not dead.
Which in the meantime I figured out what I am going to due to the Believers now."I do think that it is important to realize that wars are ugly and vile and that there better be a damned good reason for getting involved in one. Because the price for somebody is going to be very, very high."

Cool.
When you say "The Frontier" you mean this place, right? I was thinking of joining, but I worried I'd be totally lost. I hate to ask a dumb question, but what goes on over there?Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment
-
Yes that would be the place.
What goes on over there? Well instead of a game of BAC in a single thread, there would be an entire forum devoted to it where each of the nations would have a thread for a budget, news, and miltary.
Then a conflict or a story would have its own thread as well.
Currently the Frontier has an open make your own race type of a game of Ad Astra which I haphep to be a moderator of.
It also has a game set in the battletech universe, and several geo-politcal days from various times in history to one set in current affairs."I do think that it is important to realize that wars are ugly and vile and that there better be a damned good reason for getting involved in one.

No not really, there is a Cult of Weber missionary over there anyway from what I saw.
I may in the future though."I do think that it is important to realize that wars are ugly and vile and that there better be a damned good reason for getting involved in one. Because the price for somebody is going to be very, very high."
