Which makes me, at 16.5, what? An Infant or Pre-Natal?

And now for something On-Topic:

Here is an almost complete list of names suggested for FMAS in
semi-Alphabetic order with my Comments. Some are rather tounge in cheek
so please don't be offended by them.

Black Op

Contact!
Crash Action - Sound like subs to me.

actually. Close Assault

Singing*
Tweedle-dum-dum, Tweedle-dum-dum, There was a turtle by the name of
Burt, and Burt the Turtle was very alert. When Danger threatened he never got
hurt. He knew just what to do. *Boom* He'd Duck and Cover... Ok I'll stop
now :-)

Die Shift Doom Platoon Death Watch

Engage! Enemy Force!

Fireteam Zero
Full Auto - All the time, All the time.

bedroom. Generic Universal Tactical System (GUTS) Guns and Ammo Gauss and
Grenades

I recall way back in jr.high, upon saying something about looking for a job,
having people who didn't know me well suggest union work, which, of course,
required age 18. I wasn't physically or emotionally mature, just had that way
of speaking. Put me in situations for which I was totally unprepared.

Which makes me, at 16.5, what? An Infant or Pre-Natal?

By most of our estimations, damn lucky. Sixteen wasn't all that good for me;
many of the years to follow, though, have been golden. My 20 yr old daughter
would sure like to give it another go.

No need to rush it.

Check your targets - I thought this was from Star Wars(as well as
several movies from the 40's and 50's)

The following lack the SF hooks, but have one thing not mentioned yet: Full
Thrust's double entendre, though not as nasty.;>=
