Aye Captain.
Ahab.
The volumes you don't know, you deny. You and Ahab don't know anything about The Old Guard.
I read the whole of Moby Dick in hs English and, egads, again in the uni American Lit class (when I mostly scanned it to refresh myself). So you're out in the cold as always.
While the remarkable process of making whale blubber into oil was insufferably boring to me, because I couldn't care less, the theme included the crew and how it lived in equality, diversity, democracy, all of whichFledAhab was against totally and completely. Hence the Ahab notorious statement thundered in the novel: "Just as there is one God over the Earth, so there is one Captain of the Pequod."
Yet here there are two gods who are self appointed gods over who they accept as a veteran of honorable active duty military service that I am (1966-70). Since 2014. It alarmed all the rightwing veteran lifer nco high school grads who were used to bossing pfc's to lose their absolute and uncontested ownership of the Military Forum. Telling off civilians and all, y'know, the liberals/progressives who you insist know nothing about the military. So you've insisted on getting the Military Forum back since. The thread killers that youse guyz are. The Never Say Die Boyz.

Captain Ahab:
I'll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition's flames before I give him up.
Never ending, since 2014 it's been.
An uncountable number of posts.
He denies my honorable active duty military service. He gets what he deserves for it.
Getting back somewhat to business, while they're not basic training facilities it is Sheridan Drive Ft. Myer Va, the former cavalry post, where the billets of the 3rd Infantry Regiment are located and in which I served honorably on active duty for 4 consecutive years as stipulated in my Army ROTC scholarship.
Ft. Myer is the "anchor post" of the Military District of Washington DC and since 1948 it has been garrisoned by the 3rd Infantry Regiment in which I was a member.
You didn't have valets and fine wine like we did in AF basic?My barracks bay didn't have windows with blinds from what I remember.
