Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
For all of you with little ones, the worry never ends no matter how old your children are. My youngest son, 22 yo, came home from work still having a fever ( my wife checked, 104 degrees) and complaining a headache and neck pain. I know Keith and Wes already know what our concern was. We took him to the Emergency Room and fortunately the spinal tap was negative.
Thank goodness Kev!
My prayers are with him!
 
Hey Keith…no jumping for me lol. I am assuming you were Army? The Air Force is a little weird with their AFSCs (MOS). I was just a ground based satcom dude. Set up, operation, and maintenance of mostly tactical systems to provide the comm link for an entire base. Usually hot places with a lot of sand.
Ahh...you were the guys that would set up some of my equipment. Then we would start intercepting signals, deciphering them and figuring out where the bad guys were based on tower locations, triangulation, etc...
Thank you for your service Andre!

Good times. My pleasure and thanks for your service as well.
 
Good morning and good luck to your daughter, bring home a “W!” Care to share your first name? You can make it up we have someone who pops in here and I’m pretty sure his first name really isn’t Rumpelstiltskin.😉

Yes sir. I was Army. First half of my career as an Airborne Ranger, then changed MOS to SIGINT. I got tired of being wet, cold, hot, shot at, shooting at... however, after changing MOS I was assigned to SOCOM (Special Operations Command) due to past experience. So... I was back to being wet, cold, hot, shot at and shooting at...

Haha..that’s funny. You can never get away from being a special ops dude. I did some work with AFSOC (AF Special Ops Command) right after 9/11.

Time for a quick story…I was in Oman after 9/11 on an island. There were a lot of people with beards, no names or insignias on uniforms…the SOCOM compound was right behind my satcom site. The base would bus people to spend time at the beach once a month for morale. The Army Rangers would spend most of the day throwing jellyfish at each other. That was my first experience with Rangers 😀.

good news. 104 is still a concern as to why. the worries as the kids grow just changes to a different thing.

One of the many reasons I wanted to change MOSs. Most of them weren't the brightest. I felt really out of place since I didn't partake it a lot of shenanigans. I also felt out of place... well.. because I was smarter! LOL!
 
I remember when I was over in Afghanistan, this was after I changed jobs and was the "smart" guy on site. I watched these two Rangers, in their off time mind you, tasing each other with a handheld taser! I just shook my head, laughed quite a bit as they would stiffen up and fall to the sand each time... but...
 
Are those old wheelchairs?
Yes. I've been saving them for years to try this. Someone gave us 24 chickens, so I have to get it done now.
