Happy Bastille Day
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 SURRENDER!!!!!
What were we talking about??
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.

Didn't Cherub Rock join the French Foreign Legion or at least try?

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]

That's right, but I think he got injured in the French deal, I can't see what whacko quitting. He is pretty nuts.
FWIW - I begin my driving for the local international folk festival soon. I have the group from France.
