Anyone heard from Bugeye lately?

[Graybeard]

Ron's last date of activity was April 20, has anyone heard from him to know if he is OK?

[Doublebass73]

I think he mentioned going on a cruise with his wife but I don't remember how soon, hopefully that's where he is.

[Dee]

I was wondering where he was also, but he also mentioned going fishing along with the cruise.

[Mule 11]

Last I heard he took the jab...

[Goldie]

Last I heard he took the jab...

Jab and said was going on a cruise. After that who knows . Maybe on a tropical island somewhere drinking a margarita. ⁰

Pete said the same thing. He came back for awhile but left again.

 Perhaps that is a clue that we should avoid taking disagreements to a personal attack or name calling level.

^^^^^^^ some here disguise it as something else by not nameing names, but it still means the same. He knows who he is.

Wow if he feels that way about what goes on here he might as well toss his computer and give up the internet entirely. This place is about as tame as it gets out there in cyberspace.

Hate to see him go but if he is really that thin skinned then I don't think he's gonna find an internet home he can stand.

After 21 years in the government's Army this site is a piece of cake. If a person puts something out for all to see they should have the guts to stick with it. If not then go your own way.

[neckisred]

Bill will tell you real quick to go sit in the truck.. If you get your butt hurt here, you may need some thicker britches. A few here need to put their "personal attack" cards back in their wallets. 

[ironglows]

    Most are totally fine, and an occasional rub doesn't hurt a thing.  ...But it does appear that some  few tend to lurk in the shadows.. ready to spring at any chance to attack.
 
  I don't know if that was bugeye's case, but I certainly would find no joy in driving a long term member off the site..

Well when I see a Internet site that discusses Guns, Politics, Religion and such you better have your pants on or be prepared to pull them up. Also it helps when you discuss something to actually make sense and try not to flip flop on your comments. Cause if you do you're gonna get called out.

  ..But a man of character would contest a point with facts or figures, not with personal attacks or name calling...

[Goldie]

Well I'll be truthful and say My character does need a little polishing up. Forgive me but military life doesn't give you a lot of character training.

  OK gotcha!  ..But did you ever happen to attend an NCO Academy?  Those are full of character training..

[Goldie]

I certainly did. Only way you could make E6 and above.

[ironglows]

 .
   Which Academy did you attend, mine was 7th Army , at Flint Kaserne in Bad Tolz Germany.

  It was just full of character...and characters...    

[Goldie]

I attended the 1st infantry academy in Fort Riley Kansas.

[pastorp]

Well Ron was pretty opinionated himself. And was thick skinned enough to hold to his convictions. I doubt he got offended on here. Probably just on his cruse he mentioned.

I hope so...

  Hey is "Comanche" the only survivor from Custer's immediate group to survive, still there at Ft Riley?  Last I heard, he was mounted and on display there..

  Comanche was Capt. Keogh's horse.

I'm inclined to agree with you, and suspect that is exactly what's going on.
This "speculative drama" is baseless. Bugsy had no such drama going on here, and had talked about his upcoming cruise, and fishing trips.
I went back to his last post and he was in fine form and he was talking about a Mexican beer I told him about.

Mine was in Memphis Tennessee, and the one in Orlando Florida regarding Aviation Ordinance. Fleet Prep Academy's.

Those Cruise Ships have satellite internet by the way. They use a computerized tracking system. So if someone wanted to get on the internet,they could. And they can also use they're cell phones.

[oldandslow]

He will be back or won't. Either way is none of my business, only his.

And there ya go. Vacation is to get away.

[Argent 88]

The Cruise Ship we were on had passengers using the Ship internet to still send pics back home to family and friends. The food was great no one got sick, one time cover charge at the bar. A casino ,Entertainment, danceing every night. We made a lot of good friends on that Cruise.
