3. That close to the border
and Russia is a nuclear armed power. This is not a third rate power.
There are days. So I will ask, when are you enlisting? Becuase you could easily trigger WW III there.

8. I was in for 20 years, what about you?
A tight strike like that is well within our technical capabilities. It is also the kind of message that needs to be sent.

13. Ten in, not that it matters anymore where or why
hubby retired from the USN.
By the way, I did get shot at. We both hate fireworks for that reason. He also got shot at.
http://www.discussionist.com/1015135237#post13I brought this over for a couple of reasons. Both for some clarifications.
The way nads answers that question would lead one to assume she had been in the armed forces. I remember other times she's done the same, but I also remember at least one occasion in which she's claimed to have never said she was in the military. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyone have a clarification on this? By the way, I feel like a failure for having to ask something that I should already know since I consider myself her unofficial CC advocate in the DOTY awards.
Finally, she has previously said that her husband was a submariner. In the post above she claims he got shot at. Was he on the Dallas when it intercepted the Red October or is getting shot at on a sub a regular occurrence? Oh, and on subs do you HAVE to put peanut butter in your boots?
