Everyone welcome Lonestar6, Cindy, to the instructor corps. She has been to several Appleseeds with me and ATM and has now retired from the service and stepped up to help the program.

Say howdy, and look for her on the line in 2014! (Btw, first SB that gets her, she's gonna need a hat...)

Welcome aboard Lonestar!  Thanks for stepping up.

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

Hello everyone, thanks for the hearty welcome. I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas as much as we did at my house.

About Lonestar6; I had the privilege of commanding a battalion from Houston that went on to make up the  core of a Task Force that deployed to Afghanistan. The TF was dubbed TF Lonestar and as their commander my radio call sign was Lonestar6...it stuck.

I retired as an O6 after 30 years of creditable service.

I am now an eager IIT0 who is studying the material over on TIPS and reading Paul Revere's Ride. I have access to the XP sub forum.

I am not so much shy as off the net for the last week.

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I look forward to working the line and learning from all of you.

President Reagan is quoted as saying 'There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.' This is a valid observation, and a powerful tool.

Welcome ... yeah, there's a LOT of material for us IIT's to read and absorb.

Paul Revere's Ride definitely offsets the dryness of the Instructor's Manual ... what an awesome read!
