Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

The SAT phone is going to be a moot point when Saul finally is about to escape the Mallony with Lizzy and Burt when they suddenly hear jet in the distance. They are happy for a brief moment but it quickly turns to complete horror as the recognize it is dropping a payload of napalm. End of line.

^^^^ Everything. Remeber the NVG's that were in the gear stowed in the chopper for Irwin? The used them on guard while Datu repaire the helo.

The chopper is at Ft. Irwin. It'll do Saul, Victor and Burt very little good.

I always believed the implication was they took everything of worth. Sort of like the uneventful mission to get the water truck, I think we've heard all there is to hear about Locked and Loaded.

How about the base where Skittles is?

CJ wiped out all the guns so there's nothing left there in that regard.

And for some reason, I'd just like to think that due to government bureaucracy the Reserve Base and Ft. Irwin would have two different non compatible sat phones. That being said, I bet Saul would think to look there if they had them there. While he wants Lizzy back badly, I bet he'd love to have the tactical support of the military behind him.

I think Fordraceboy was stating they took everything out of Locked and Loaded, using the fact that they had Burt's NVGs. I'm with Nik - I think we've seen the last of Burt's gun shop.

About a false floor board in Locked and Loaded that contain a secret gun, Shirley II ;-)

Kay, so I was wondering about the Family being Gypsies too. Veeeeery sexist society. Very insular too. A female supposedly "contaminates" water by walking over it. For instance, I saw a photo of two boys walking with a toddler girl and lifting a hose over her head so she wouldn't walk over it and contaminate it. They came out of around Egypt or India supposedly (I forget--they analyzed their language).

I wonder if there will be a sort of reverse Stockholm Syndrome going to happen with Scratch and Burt.

I won't deny that Marines have pride that clouds their judgement on how we are, but there's reason for it. We are simply that good.

I guess you're right Ray, I must have been dreaming when I was teaching land-nav, Mk-19 and the M-240 (while other NCO's tought other classes) to the fobbits that were on their way to Afghanistan, because obviously the Army doesn't do that...

And you said earlier on the all Marines are Infantry first and their MOS second.

Ray I know plenty about the Marines, I've worked with them and know a lot of them that are now in the Army (Infantry). Out of respect for the nearly all the other Marines that don't walk around with their heads up their asses I'm just cutting this conversation now.
