Small world.
Grew up for awhile in Lexington while my Dad was stationed at Hanscom. He ended up retiring there to swap his blues for a tie and continued as a contractor on base for another close to 30 years. Of course most of that he was living in NH and driving down every day. My brother-in-law is a contractor now at Hanscom.
I wouldnt call living there incarcerated, but the human density and traffic caused me to leave New England a long while ago.
You gentlemen obviously never spent time at Ft. Drum...

My dad did. He said it was insanely cold.Quote:

Three lieutenants in my EOBC class volunteered for Drum as a way to get to Ranger School. The problem was that there wasn't enough time between EOBC graduation and RIP to go to Airborne School, so they had to go to Ranger Schools as legs. And then go to Drum. FTN.Quote:

The fingertip is staying attached for now.... might have to get a pin to get the bone to go back together.
Oh, and I was gonna yell at him, but apparently the ring wasn't on until they were heading to the ER.
Ouch. Hopefully he doesn't lose it. Hope he heals up well!
ETA: Just dawned on me which finger based on the wedding ring. Maybe they can splint it and he can walk around giving everyone the finger? [Coffee]
