military - what will you do when YA! shuts down?

I was an active poster here years ago in the military section, used to be called Andrew, renamed to this when the trolls started making random conspiracy theories about me. Joined around the time when Ninefinger, Weasel McWeasel, Mrs. jvb, Wine Wine U Dirty Skunk, Reigon, Michael the pilot, Brian the Army cavalry guy, Daniel the air force officer, Navycrab, Michael the crazy conspiracy dude etc. were all active. I've kept reading here over the years, and while most of this section became a dumpster fire I always appreciated seeing all you regular posters dedicate your time to helping newcomers.

Yahoo Answers is an awful forum of insanity, but there are a handful of good people here I'll miss seeing around. 

I learned a lot from you guys that I've remembered over the years, since I knew almost no military people in real life, and it's part of what led me to my current situation of preparing to apply for a commission as a U.S. Navy officer within the next year.

Thank you all, take care!

I run a vineyard and have no shortage of projects lined up, that I am actually looking forward to getting to, now that better weather is here. 

I think the closure was overdue, and actually comes at a good time, for me personally, anyway.  

I started off in this category, ages ago,  and was a TC here, for a long time,  but then drifted away,  and spent more time  in other categories, as my Navy Days were behind me...and I got tired of talking about it. 

Then , after a few years......(I've been here 13 years).....I came back,  and that's  about the time frame you, and  The Squirrel  (Andrew)  probably  remember.......

a period that was dominated for a bit  by  the resident troll, playing all his sock puppets.....with all the socks that "worshipped" him.....like "Region"  the Dep'er,   who was in DEP for like what?  4 years?   Must have signed on when he was 13. 

Then one day, poor ol Region had to leave for Bootcamp,  with teary goodbyes all around,  and salutes to his favorite heroes here.......and the next day,   RAJON........the recent  AIR FORCE academy appeared,   also a HUGE FAN of the resident troll.   Remember all that?   That was a hoot ! 

Region left for Army boot camp and graduated The Air Force Academy the next day!

That was hilarious.   And  then it was just one sock puppet after another.....and I kinda walked away from the whole category again.......but still popped in from time to time, to see the same stupid sock games going on. 

Yeahhhhh, good times.  Ah well,   50 sock accounts later,   he's still trying to get me suspended......and failing as usual. 

It must KILL him that he failed at his task, for all that effort. 

ah well,  farewell everyone.........Happy Trails and Following Seas, and all that. 

why did Not get a Mention may be because you all Know FDR Knew

Hitler was funded By the Rockefeller's in the Belief Hitler would Go to war with the Communists he took the Money and Honored the Agreementthe USA never did anything to stop him whilst the UK was Trying AppeasementHitler took all this as approval and of he wentAmerica with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board in partnership with Göring's cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of everything and such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?For the government did sanction dubious transactions—both before and after Pearl Harbor. A presidential edict, issued six days after December 7, 1941, actually set up the legislation whereby licensing arrangements for trading with the enemy could officially be granted.Often during the years after Pearl Harbor the government permitted such trading. For example, ITT was allowed to continue its relations with the Axis and Japan until 1945, even though that conglomerate was regarded as an official instrument of United States Intelligence.No attempt was made to prevent Ford from retaining its interests for the Germans in Occupied France, nor were the Chase Bank or the Morgan Bank expressly forbidden to keep open their branches in Occupied Paris. It is indicated that the Reichsbank and Nazi Ministry of Economics made promises to certain U.S. corporate leaders that their properties would not be injured after the Führer was victorious.Thus, the bosses of the multinationals as we know them today had a six-spot on every side of the dice cube. Whichever side won the war, the powers that really ran nations would not be adversely affected.And it is important to consider the size of American investments in Nazi Germany at the time of Pearl Harbor. These amounted to an estimated total of $475 million. Standard Oil of New Jersey had $120 million invested there; General Motors had $35 million; ITT had $30 million, and Ford had $17.5 million. Though it would have been more patriotic to have allowed Nazi Germany to confiscate these companies for the duration—to nationalize them or to absorb them into Hermann Göring's industrial empire—it was clearly more practical to ensure them protection from seizure by allowing them to remain in special holding companies, the money accumulating until war's end. It is interesting that whereas there is no evidence of any serious attempt by Roosevelt to impeach the guilty in the United States,reason FDR was afraid of Upsetting Corporate USA whose Cooperation was desperately needed to win the war in the Pacific

Meh.  I'm gonna join the military, kill some more time and troll real life.

I bought a boat, so that is what takes up my time (and money :( ) these days. 

I'll deal with it OK.

Meh.  I’ll try Reddit.  This place went to hell in a hand basket  ages ago and only my insanity has kept me around this long.

I guess I'll just move on.  The site has been steadily going downhill lately.   Once they got rid of comments, I found myself spending a lot less time here.  There have only been a handful of legitimate questions here in the last few months worth answering.  I'll miss some of the regulars here, but it seems like a lot of them haven't been posting much.

I will be hunting down Luigi Mohamed and drag his @ss into my spare room (there are not many basements here in Hawaii). 

Good luck to you, Kyle (though, I still hate Da Cubs!). 

Not a damn thing. I'll move on.

I was on this section when everyone that "The Squirrel" mentioned was active on here, as well as NWIP, Living the Dream, Wraeth (who might have been the same person as Brian the cavalry guy, not sure), Barbamatt, Thomas F, The Intelligentsia + Leo Black (the same people who pretended to be different men), Armed With Inkstick, etc. However, the majority of those people left due to stupid trolls invading this section, and due to idiots.

I went on this section a lot back then because I liked hearing about other people's experiences, I liked the people on here, I liked learning about the military, and I wanted to join the military before I found out I was disqualified (if I wasn't disqualified I would probably be in the Army and in Iraq or Afghanistan right now).

When Y!A shuts down I will just spend more time on other sites and on other things I enjoy doing: Reddit, video games, movies, etc.
