I am AD. I just got a real cast on today. I go back in 3 weeks, they'll take it off and take an XRay and see where I am at. The doctor told me it usually takes 6-8 weeks for a bone to heal. From the looks of it, it'll be a little while. It sucks, but it'll give me time to learn a bit of spanish.

Descanse y encuentrate una latina para que practiques. Hay bastante latinas en Carolina del norte.

SFAS Class 5-06

I'll be going out to Selection this weekend (18MAR06), and hopefully I'll pass out of selection, and not just be comical relief for the rest of the candidates. I've had mixed reviews from my chain of command after signing my volunteer statement from fake concern from NCO's, to encouragement, to an absolutely vitriolic response from my Brigade Sergeant Major, "You dont need to get special forces now, you can special forces anytime, you need to go to the Warrior Leader's course...' Not that I Value his opinion much, because he's been thriced divorced, and he has a faux hawk that looks half-squirrel half-muppet. I had originally planned to go to the Foreign Relations program at Georgetown University, but, I'm reaching my last year in the Army, and I wanted to try something challenging before I try to embark on a career in the CIA w/ in the paramilitary wing. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I'll fail, but I'll definitely learn something about myself in the process of the SFAS course, and whether I'm fit for this kind of work.

take care,

jorj

Jorj:

I think that the people you want to work for would not want you discussing it on an internet board.

Why on this earth would you go to SFAS if you have no intention of going to the SFQC?

Finally, you need to fill in your profile a bit and introduce yourself in the proper place before posting again.

"Do you have a long haired dictionary?"
Means get a Spanish speaking girl-friend to help you with your language skills.

Crooz,

Idioms can be confusing........

Gender attaches to the subject as well as the adjective..........Not that there is anything wrong with Largo dictionarios!!??

Well....since we're getting all semi-official. The adjective in this case, largo, is describing the pelo which is masculine. Therefore "una dictionaria de pelo largo" would be the way to say it.

Hey, I didn't write the rules, you gentlemen who went to school know them better than I. I speakee spaneesh and am just letting you know from my perspectiva how it should be worded.

Warrior-Mentor,
Most men would like a largo time with a beautiful latina.

Although technically correct....I still say:

You can have your "largo"...I'll take a chica flaca.
