  1. Thanks for the post mate i hope that he stays safe and return home to the hero's wellcome that they are intitled to.
  2. Thats kwl mate thanks for the support.
  3. Dude im sure that your post wasn't ment to come across like it has but faith is something that we all can hold in our hearts, yes we do need everything you have said but there is also one other thing we need and that is faith and hope. I have been to the front line maintaining mk7 lynx for 847 Sqn. I know what it feels like to think that i am alone, to feel that there is no point in this war and to just come home but to be honest mate the one thing that kept us going was the faith that we held. I am not religious in any way but that doesn't me that i can't hold faith in my heart. To the guy that picked out all the americanism's in the wheel being in the forces and working with world force's we all steel each others names for things. This was ment to be a post that showed support to the people who are fighting to for a cause that is not off there own, for a reason that isnt known to anyone but the people who started the war in the begining. I would like to keep this post open because i believe that we can all support our troops. And to big D Thank you for your support mate. This goes to you with my Greatest Gratitude David
  4. I am in the navy and think this is a great thing to promote as i have friend's out fighting and myself has been out there and may be return so please bump this to keep the Pray Wheel rolling. Thanks David. The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, just old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either. He's a recent Comprehensive School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. &nb sp;He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great- grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the BRITISH Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood. And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so. As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . . A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets. Prayer wheel for our military... please don't break it Please send this on after a short prayer. Prayer Wheel 'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.' When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our ground troops in Afghanistan, sailors on ships, and airmen in the air, and for those in Iraq . There is nothing attached... This can be very powerful.... Of all the gifts you could give a British Soldier, Sailor, or Airman, prayer is the very best one.

  13. hi i just want to take up this space and let you all know who i am. I am David, im 21 and in love with scoobys and have been for as long as i can remember. In june this year i came into some money and through why not spend that money on a nice little car, so i got my first scooby. She is a 1996 2.0lt wagoon in silver with custom grafix's on her ( when i get home i will add pics) she is everything i through she would be and more. I am an air engineer by day in the Royal Navy so dont have all the time in the world to do personal stuff, so my post will be either few and fair inbetween or i will always be on here. My i dont know very much about scooby's when it comes down to the engine's but i am a very fast learner and can pretty much take anything apart and put it back together but i wouldn't know what i was doing lol. So that is me in a few lines, i look forward to helping out in what ever way i can (which wont be much yet but i will get there ) Thx David
