From: x13245i2@usma6.usma.edu (Obrien Patrick CDT) As Margaret Thatcher said in her resignation speech: "It's a funny little world we live in." Congress has passed legislation for the Army to take on the fixed wing Close Air Support Mission. Will the Army get the A-10 now? Hope so, I am branching Aviation on 31 May. [mod.note: Let me take this opportunity to establish a firm policy on .signatures. 8-) The generally accepted Usenet standard (Signature, General-Purpose ASCII Dot, M1A1) calls for no more than four lines, containing a name, email address, and other useful information. I've never been strict on this, nor do I intend to be... but 28 lines is right out. Long signatures are cute the first time, but boring and wasted bandwidth ever after. I therefore announce that in the future I will reserve the right to trim excessive signatures to a reasonable level. To ensure that all important information is retained, therefore, I urge posters to use short signatures in sci.military. Thanks. - Bill ] AIR CAV ___________________________________________ ||| ===\ ||| /=== |__ /| |\___| | |___| | _/ | | | |/ ___ __ | |___| | / ) ' /__) O===========/ ___ \===========O / / / \ || || \ ( o ) / || || (___/ (____/ X__X X__X \ --- / X__X X__X X X X X / [o] \ X X X X []/ | \[] [] [] _________________Death From Above____________________________________________ ----- / / Patrick C.
