Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
If you are serious, let me know. There is a $2,000 bonus when recommending a person to join and I'll split it with you!Originally Posted by Stuart

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Info? Course the regular mil won't take me (car wreck injuries, weight, etc).... will the Guard? Not something I ever looked into.
The requirements are the same for the most part. If you got weight or physical ability issues, then they probably will pass. We've been kicking people out of the Guard for overweight issues and not passing their annual physical fitness testing. I'm not a recuiter, so I don't know specifically. You would have to speak to a Guard recruiter for specific information.
What I was referring to with Stuart is, the Guard has a program in which a Guard member recommends or "recruits" a person into the Guard. Once the "recruitee" passes their basic and advanced training, the "recruiter" would earn $2,000. It's called the GRAP program.

There were several church groups in Minnesota that sponsored Hmong refugees after the end of the war. That brought a lot of Hmong into Minnesota initially, and later immigrants headed there since there was already a large Hmong community.
There's a fairly large number of Saudis and Kuwaitis in the Phoenix area...
Detroit has a lot of Arabs, not just Iraqis; I think Lebanese are actually the predominant group? Also a lot of non-Arabs from "Arab" countries like Syria and Iraq such as Assyrians and Kurds. Not sure why, originally... Later, the existing Arab population became an attraction for further immigrants.
That's terrible. What happened to the old days of comradery?
Did I miss something?
I don't see how their being in the National Guard had anything to do with the crime. Would it be mentioned if they both shopped at the same supermarket?
I thought it would appeal to the audience more. Also, I thought it was a bit ironic, but perhaps it is not.

Gritty pretty much summed that up...damn shame.
