If not then, shortly thereafter, anyway. Let me know; we'll adjust to what's best for you amd your preferences.
No can do

A trip to Bovington Tank Museum will be a 'must' if you come to the UK.

I wonder who was the proudest. PFC Blueskid becoming a Cav scout or Bluesman watching his son become one?

Congrats to both of you.

Thank you, and you should see him, as proud as Lucifer, with crossed sabers and a swagger.

It has been thus since before the first Spartan father watched his son disappear down the road under a new eye, a man that will complete the task of building a new warrior from the raw material the boy's family provided.

My boy coulda whipped that Spartan.
