That was fun.

digitalambience stopped by, with a burn for votania. I shared the sushi. He liked, with soy sauce.

The Viking held forth for some time on why the Air Force really was Darkside's best bet. I smiled, but did not nod.

digitalambience hugged me bye-bye and gave me a kiss on the forehead. He'll be back tomorrow to talk with votania about the barter for that CD. He wants a necklace in trade, and then to buy another necklace for his mom for mothers' day.

Has The Viking ever been in the military?

Smoke. Ass. The first is being blown out of the second.

The Viking's old man is an ex-Marine, however.

I concur 100% with your first sentance.

That doesn't mean anything....growing up as a MilBrat is NOT the same as being Active Duty, and Marines are NOT the same as the AF.

The Viking was, as far as I can tell, not raised on base with an active duty parent.

Darkside was raised on a succession of Army bases in a variety of countries, the only child of an active duty person.

I trust Darkside to have found out enough about the Air Force, and its similarities to and differences from the Army to know whether it and he would fit well together. I trust Darkside to know himself well enough to make that assessment.

The Viking needs to stop talking smack then....If Darkside isn't leaping at the military and was raised in the army, then he would have a very good reason for it.

I'd launch into my rant about the military being a duty and an obligation not to be taken lightly, and not used as a holding pattern while you wait for the economy to improve, but since you've already heard it I'll spare you.

The Viking was suggesting just about that. Hmf.

One of the Viking's reasons for being, I have decided, is for talking smack. Don't get me wrong: he's a decent guy and a loyal friend. But. Heh.

I have decided, after a lot of experience, that for the most part, my place is shutting up when the Viking is talking smack. Even though he won't shut up himself.
