Howdy from Ron Mars

[blades]

I haven't posted on a forum board in awhile and now seemed like a good time to get back into it.

Looking forward to some fun discussions.

hey ron,,,I would welcome you but thats not how you will be treated,,this is not a very constructive forum and loaded with trolls,,
I can give you one good warning of two blatant trolls Legion and Anonymous who are the same person, legion posts about every 3 minutes non stop for 8-10 hrs a day and I was informed Anonymous is the same person

how this troll is allowed to continue speaks volumes about the lack of integrity of the forum,,

but good luck to you,,

LOL -- but it's funny, mom! You know it's only a matter of time before Ron is accused of being Mason. Maybe Jack will get around to it, after he conjures up some more of his weird fantasies about lady mods.

Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed!

A girl named Doris will show up here shortly and remind you not to violate Rule 12b.
(she wanted to become a Nun, but enforcing Rule 12b was her next best option after she became a sex slave)

I want to be both a nun and a sex slave.

That loud "SPROING!" sound was from Jack.

Loved it ... some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Some US servicemen never get outside the small towns around their bases and only see the Korean people trying to sell them stuff or in the juicy bars.

The country is beautiful. My best memory is one early morning, sitting on a hilltop with "my" radio, and looking out as the sun rose.

All I could see were mountain tops poking up through the fog or mist before the sun burned it off ... and I didn't have a camera.

When did you serve there? The younger of my two brothers served in SK 1970-72. He didn't like it at all.

Love the beautiful word-picture you painted of the fog and mountains.

Thank you for the welcome and warning. I'm a big boy and I know exactly what to expect on any forum board.

Things were bad on forum boards 4 years ago and I doubt much has improved.

yes most forums are bad,, but my experience here has been the standard response is to shoot down and name call on almost every comment,,,

if you try and have a constructive debate it ends up as a lost cause,,,

Late 80's ... Sorry to hear about your brother's experience there.

Depending on what he was doing he may never had a chance to get away into the countryside and experience the real Korea.

As an NCO I was able to travel a little and I took advantage every chance I could to get away from the base.

I had a Korean/American friend who was also an NCO in my Flight and we traveled together a few times.

I guess that depends on what your goal for being here is.

For me it's to make a point or to respond to someone else's point and then see what happens.

I don't waste much time on useless debates that end up with name calling ... make your point and let it stand.

That's such a wonderful way to see a new land and learn about its ppl. I'm afraid that my brother was a pretty closed-minded person. Mostly his impression was that the Korean kids (he called them "slicky boys") tried to steal from them every chance they got, so he must have assumed that everyone was like that. I'm glad you had a different experience. Have you ever returned there as a civilian?

Slicky Boys ... that's a new one. South Korean people are extremely nice and I am fortunate to have been there as an Airman.

I did get back as a civilian btw, almost 10 years to the day I had left, to work on the fuel systems at several bases.

I traveled a lot as an engineer ... in my previous life before teaching.

Then you won't be disappointed here!
