It’s an exciting time for us fans – UH 24 Cal 22

and, commitments from the 2 Aussie football players in Melbourne recruited by Michigan! coup de ta!!!!! wait, did UH invite both players to attend the Sydney Cup on 8/27/2016? pay their own way, but a great intro to how American football is played.

glad that most, if not all, the “minor” sports getting the $2,000 stipend as scholarships must be “shared” among the players whereas football players get a full scholarship

among the mid-level teams – does the stipend amount really affect an athlete’s decision to attend Boise St or UH?

yet, my bottom line is the athletics bring in many $$$ to the economy whereas a prof teaching a class is “truly” an expense to UH — yes, some profs are awarded “grants”, but where is it spent and how much does that help the State?

2 close friends were drafted in their senior year at UH and took basic at Schofield

another was one class behind me — I volunteered with the goal of securing the highest security clearance available [ attained ] and going to OCS [ accomplished ]

one day at the rifle range, we were shooting at spotted deer which made the “cadre” very unhappy — I went to the entrance of the range and looked at the “badges” available and made the commitment to secure a “expert” badge { done }

at the rifle qualifying range at Fort Benning, a Master Sgt approached me while firing and asked if I would transfer to the “sniper” program – told him no, wanted my commission — final score was 95 of 100 targets hit — kept complaining to the cadre that the target at 300 meters was stuck as I was sure I hit it – Sgt said you missed all at that range — asked him to inspect the target, he did, came back and told me I had hit the center 3 times and the mechanism was stuck, but would not change my score.

did any of you fire “across” lanes to hit another target? we did and that pissed the cadre something fierce!!

Fun to realize how many here remember East Range and hikes/runs to Kolekole Pass. We were running a night navigation exam for our unit when a squadron of choppers tried to land on us. It was a sprint to the land line to call range control and find out what the h__l was going on.
