finding out my bunny had a diseased liver.... and only getting a hand puppet, no food out of him.

Phase 3, second time around (don't ask, just think SF baby in a Ranger Team), Gator nicknaming me "piano" and another member of the board getting the ORP security detail while the other 3 of the 4 man team got chased by reinforced Scout Companies from the 82nd... and finally ran through the fire at an AF camp as the horn went off...
You went through Phase I in 2003?

Damn, what happened to you?
