    Subject: The Plaque
    Date: 09/05/89  Time: 00:00:43

            Sandy dropped off the info at the engravers...  The plaque is going
    to be silver with engraved black letters.  It is suppose to be done on the
    12th of this month.
            Some of you have not shown up to sign the card yet...  Please do so
    as soon as possible!

            Some users have made it know that they would like the gift given to
    Chris as soon as it is ready...  and others would like it held to the
    wedding (November).. Please post on here your feelings about this so it can
    be arranged.  I will go along with the majority.... okay!

     Your problem is not God's ambiguity. It is your lack of spiritual ears.
    There are none so deaf as those who WILL not hear.

    That's $253.00 in course costs alone. Then there's the hidden costs like
    bullet$...for my .38 or 9mm it's $9.50 at the very cheapest for a box
    of 50 rounds..that's probably about 200 rounds per course or more...
    let's see now..Basic=$40.00+intermediate=$40.00+advanced=$50..another
    $130.00 in ammo ..although I doubt that'd be all. So we're already over the
    $400.00 mark in rudementary costs. Then you include the other hidden stuff
    and I'm sure it'll shoot (pun pun) up to $1,000 easily.
            I invested in 3 years of U.S. Swim & Fitness. That cost $859.00,
    for which I'm happy to pay for both wife and I. It'll protect me against
    casket bearers from cardio-pulminary arrest and the likes *UNLIKE*
    you cliffy. And if I get attacked while I'm unarmed, I'll be able to
    beat the intruder into a bloddy pulp without painting my walls with
    his retarded brains....and avoid messy court hearings and lawyer fees.
    Besides..you *ARE* assuming that I don't shoot and wouldn't know how
    to. You are forgetting that I whipped you *twice
    with my "Toy 9" on the pin shoot..aren't you? And you also forgot who
    placed 1st in the company for the M-16..aren't you? And you keep
    forgetting that I am a regular on Military shoots...and have been
    asked to go to Arkansas for the National shoot..haven't you? Well,
    Cliffy..perhaps you should join the reserves and shoot on the team..
    but you must first be physically fit, run 2 miles in under 17 minutes
    with a full pack and shoot 7 minutes later. This is DEFINITELY not for
    coca-cola decorative pin touters.       -Mike

    Folks, I just now came up with a germ of a thought that I wish to
    further explore.  It is this:

    Suppose, just suppose that the impossible happened, that God Himself
    died.  Any thinking person knows that this COULD never happen but
    grant me this 'license' for just a moment.  Gee, thanks.

    And further, we ALL know that Jesus is God therefore IF one died then
    the other would be dead.  Sorta like killing those two proverbial
    birds, right?  Okay, I set the scenario, NOW THIS, page "2".

    God is now dead, sniff, sniff, cough, sputter.  WHAT NOW HAPPENS TO
    THIS POOR WORLD OF OURS, we wonder?

    My guess would be that our little world would go completely to hell in
    that event.  Probably world war III would happen and little children
    and old people would no longer get well because there would be
    absolutely no one to 'pray' to.  How sad.

    We, as feeling humans would realize that saying, "Thank God" was no
    longer a valid avenue of expression.

    You know, we could even include the death of Lucifer in this plot and
    then, golly, see what this might also affect, right?

    Now, They are all dead, God, Jesus, Lucifer and let's thrown in the
    other angels, Gabriel, Michael, and for good measure, the saints of
    all time, Peter, Paul AND Mary.

    Can you just imagine if this EVER came to pass what a world we'd live
    in?  Hell, I for one would be afraid to go out of doors, ever.  I'd
    stay huddled in my closet for fear of the ensuing mayhem that would be
    taking place in the streets, right this very minute.  Shudder.

    Of course, folks, if this ever did come to pass, the death of the
    Deities, there would be no press releases so in reality no one would
    know about it, save for a few appointed men of God.

    Each and every one of us, the thinking few, should, right now, get
    down on our knees and pray that something like this never comes to
    pass.  And while we are at it, just ask God, since school is about to
    begin, that He give us high test scores on our papers and see that we
    advance in R.O.T.C.  Thank you, -Rod

            We are taught only to shoot if we must...  And how to defend
    ourselves in other ways.  Since you are distorting the class I am talking
    about so bad.. I am going to drop the talk, as you are giving people the
    wrong idea on self defense to almost the point of slandering the U.S.M.A.
    that you know NOTHING about.
            Your cost figures are wrong, but then you are just thinking a
    shooting class is nothing but shooting... It ain't!
            And Sandy whupped you on the Pin shoot with a lowly wheel gun...
    I would be willing to try the pin shoot with you again... This is now AFTER
    I have had this training on eye and hand control.. Why I almost shoot as
    good as Sandy and she is better now than she was at that Pin Shoot GT.
            Oh, I forgot, you can't afford the bullets....  Weenie!

            Actually, Cliff, my 'wheel gun' was not all that lowly ......
    I had it about eye level high .........

            Well, at USMA we definately do not run 2 miles then shoot 7 minutes
    later. The best we do to come close to what you suggest is something done in
    Masters class and that is starting at the 100 yard line one must run to the
    50 or the 25 or the 15 or the 10 yard line (which ever is chosen by the
    instructor) and shoot from various positions using various obstacles, or
    no obstacles, trying hit the subject and not the hostage (if any). We would
    do this over and over and over again. Man! Talk about your heart rate going
    up and your breathing increasing ..... it does require more muscle control
    and increased concentration.
            I also enjoy the various combat courses. They, again, are in Masters
    class. Ha! The first one I ever went through taught me not to be so 'cocky'
    about what I have learned and have trained myself to do. I am sure that
    without the training that I have had I would have done far worse.
            Cliff's shooting really has improved since he began these courses.
    He is excited because he will soon stand a chance to win back some the 'Hot
    Fudge Sundays' he owes me from past shoots ........
