Wow, do I have one for you.

You ever have that personal debate that just turns stupid ugly? Well just a few hours ago I did. Uglier then any debate I had in a GREAT while.

I was doing some work on the FOB for an exercise and I got done early. I saw another one of my company vans so I asked the driver SGT Joe if I could get a ride back with them. He said sure. I peek in...
