Not to diminish the excitement of a rank-up party, but the surprise of ranking in the midst of battle cannot be surpassed, even if you knew it would happen soon..."Congratz!" :)

Technically, video is considered "photo form" and can be posted in this topic..."Congratz!"

"They ran out of cord?" :huh:

I haven't had one of those "Wow! I can't believe nobody saw that!" moments, in a long time... :lol:

Excellent story...Aside from the humorous suspense. I 'gota tell you, I was deeply moved with your introduction of "Granny"...I had a tough granny like that. Never backed down to anyone, no matter how big and bad they were. It's good to read something where someone can relate (bring up good memories)..."Good Luck in future writings!" :)

:fire_r: Good Luck to All. :fire_l:

Sorry that you felt the need to vent your anger by discrediting my congratulations to the community...Please refrain from doing so in the future..."I'm being nice!" :)

Great improvement. Kudos to those involved. :) One question: Is there, or will there be a place where the total number of Tanki members is, or will be posted? The reason I ask this, is because for my Tanki youtube channel introduction video, that total is included. Every month I update the video to reflect the new member total...Thank you for your reply to this question.

Ran out of positive votes...+1

We went on a tour of the school basement...I got to through some trash into the incinerator...The opening of the incinerator was very large (twice the size of me at that time), which was majestically comforting as the flames grew, giving off a warmth that took away the winter chill. I remember looking at my classmates faces, glowing bright orange in the now raging inferno crackling before us, and feeling a sense of camaraderie. It was one of those “this is good” moments... :)

Not reacting to the look on your face when you see this:

I have know some WO's to pull their fair share of the weight, and some who have not...The same could be said for any rank, including Generalissimo. If there are those who you feel, or may know, hate you because of your rank? Then that's their problem. Don't let it dampen your spirit..."Good Luck in the battle!" :tank:

Nice 'pic! "You and Gold boxes!" :lol:

Not really...You got the top of the parachute.

You go to a restaurant and the maitre de asks, "will you be dinning with us this evening?" I think to myself, "Hmmm? No, I'll just run around in circles for a while just to see what everybody does"... :blink:
