No, I've been in probably 6-7 I'd have to count. And I'm not transferring until I get the air reserve/guard thing fully figured out.

Chris I would look at a nursery first before buying trees from lowes anyhow I am sure they are not the best taken care of if you are going to do any quantity of them.

Don't know if it's still the same, but Lowes did have a guarantee they would grow. One year I believe. I think they usually have better plants than Homey Depo. For nicer stuff, we also have Stauffers. That is more of a nursery, but usually more expensive.
Good Morning

We had it from 1901 to 2010 when we started employing all servicemen and -women. This year, the government decided to start drafting people again in 2018. The selection is gender-neutral now, too.

About 4% of the youth will be doing their military service. At Peak Cold War, that number was 85%.

I did my service as a radar technician in 1992.
 
I was in for a few years before the cold war ended, Man that was a totally different time of paranoia.

Oh, yes. My mother visited relatives in Estonia for the first time in 1984, I believe. The population weren't allowed to own maps of the country. Can you imagine? Being a tourist, she obviously brought a map and they threw themselves over it.

Effective way of keeping people in one place. After one generation, no-one knows where they are or how to get to the border.
 
Sweden used to have 900 fighter jets. If the Soviets had tried to invade over the Baltic sea, they would have been sunk in no time.
