I asked my very good French friend what is the proper way to celebrate Bastille Day.

Apparently, you run around surrendering to everyone and sucking at football.  ;)

I wish I could access and post that video from liveleak of the french army testing a new shoulder fired missile system and when the rocket comes out of the tube, it just drops to the ground in front of them.

I would put their training up against MEUs -- same class, same kind of dedication.

He had a brief stint on sportbikes.net with all of us that got kicked off the DML and then he was on the CDC for a while.


I can't recall why he disappeared..............actually...........



I think he joined the Airforce and passed the flight training entrance exam and wanted to be a helicopter pilot.

Again, this was a few years ago, so my memory is a bit foggy on it.

IIRC, he tried the French thing, but quit. Then got admitted into the Army and was trying to be a choppa pilot. Heven't heard since then. Definitely not the route that I would have expected from him...but good luck to him!  [thumbsup]
