Can you tell me if there is anything wrong with my essay??

Shipping Docks of the World

It was there on that deserted peace of woodland property in the north GA Mountains

that I was going to prove to all that had any doubted the ability of the 116 Falcon Field

Air Force Division. That we were and always would rain supreme on that day and

And any other day; Enduring forever more.

It was about 5:30 I guessed since I had no device to assure me of this. “Still one

strenuous hour before the light of day started to push back the eerie darkness” I thought.

That’s when it started, Standing Val (The People that are always in your face yelling out you) started to unleash their military absentee with

whistles blowing and voices bellowing with the words “Let’s Get them up! Let’s Go!

Today! This is all that seemed to pierce the silent night. My battle buddy and I jumped

up, unzipped our tent and fumbled outside into the piercingly fridge cold. We stood at

attention with an almost embalmed like stature waiting for further orders. This day would

be the hardest day of mental and physical endurance. “The last one always is,” I thought

to my self” This is the one day that really separates the victorious form the forgotten.”

Then the order to move out was given and we started our march into the piercing

night. After about an 8th of a mile we came out into a clearing and we could make out a

paved road. We were then commanded to start the rigorous exercise of “Man Down.”

This exercise consisted of running with 40bl rock to simulate a wounded solder. After

this exercise you really have to stay in tune with your body to keep it moving or the

toxins will build up in your mussels and this can make even the most simply tasks turn

into an agonizing event. We had a few moments of rest which is crucial not so much for

your body, as some would suspect but more for your mind because this is the truly the

weak link for survival. We then started back towards base with the light now slowly

seeping into the crevasses of darkness and this gives you a since of cognizant and

orientation. It all seemed too surreal now to think just months ago after my 15th birthday I

was eager and enthusiastic to start my new life with fresh experience in the Civil Air

Patrol. This new life promised one of purpose, advancements and team building

camaraderie and it was this camaraderie that now seemed almost inapplicable to achieve.

It was only because of one of my fellow comrades taping on the shoulder that had

brought me back to our present situation.

We were then slothfully marching back into the camp sight.

Once there we were sharply instructed to bear our battle dress uniform, which consisted

of a fire retardant pare of camouflage pants a shirt

and leather combat boots. We were only justified 2 minutes to deem our uniform and this

makes the task of combat boots even more problematic. Reconciling this ordeal Standing

Val progressively enlightened the morning by allowing us to indulge in our parcels that

we had been packing. Truth be told even Standing Val has to revitalize their energy level

from time to time. After this short endeavor we marched up a slim embankment when

suddenly like a clap from the heavens machine gun fire unfastened from a forward tree

line after what seemed like hours the fire silenced. It is only now that I can seem to be

able to remember these events. I stand her now standing on the docks of the world

thinking about how this great event has shaped, molded and sharpened the inner soul and

the man that I am today. Most would think that standing on the docks of the world would

mean that I am surrounded by one of the great shipping ports of the world but not to me.

For me standing on the docks of the world is a metaphor for the opportunities yet to be

discovered and how this event and ones like it have for ever shown me how to go when

people say it can’t be done and to run when others walk to risk when others hide. To

borrow a fraise from one of the great finance majors Robert T. Kiysaki “If I act like every

body ells I am no better than every body ells” and this for me is a very profound

statement for in the way that I carry and interact in my life.

What should I do in situation?

I’m manning Perimeter 2 when a family of skunks set passes the constantion wire. They make there way thought the mess tents and into the CO’s tent. Should I: A) sound Security alert, report to quarter deck of “GAS, GAS, GAS,” B) should I call the Rover over and pepper spray the whole tent, CO and all. Or C) quietly zip up the CO’s tent, disturbing no one and get back on by patrol.

president bush is the reincarnation of esau the son of prophet issac?

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN ACCIDENTALLY OR PREMEDITATINGLY BUT BASE ON HISTORY OR THE BIBLE?

HENCE, PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH COULD BE THE REINCARNATION OF ESAU THE SON OF PROPHET ISAAC.

TWO THING CAME TRUE RECENTLY.

FIRSTLY, WHILE ON FIRST VISIT TO IRAQ SOME YEARS AGO HE ASK FOR SOME HOT SOUP AT A MILITARY CAMP.

19
This is the family history of Isaac, son of Abraham; Abraham had begotten Isaac.
20
Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21
Isaac entreated the LORD on behalf of his wife, since she was sterile. The LORD heard his entreaty, and Rebekah became pregnant.
22
But the children in her womb jostled each other so much that she exclaimed, "If this is to be so, what good will it do me!" She went to consult the LORD,
23
and he answered her: "Two nations are in your womb, two peoples are quarreling while still within you; But one shall surpass the other, and the older shall serve the younger."
24
When the time of her delivery came, there were twins in her womb.
25
4 The first to emerge was reddish, and his whole body was like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau.
26
5 His brother came out next, gripping Esau’s heel; so they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27
As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man who lived in the open; whereas Jacob was a simple man, who kept to his tents.
28
Isaac preferred Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah preferred Jacob.
29
Once, when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the open, famished.
30
6 He said to Jacob, "Let me gulp down some of that red stuff; I’m starving." (That is why he was called Edom.)
31
7 But Jacob replied, "First give me your birthright in exchange for it."
32
"Look," said Esau, "I’m on the point of dying. What good will any birthright do me?"
33
But Jacob insisted, "Swear to me first!" So he sold Jacob his birthright under oath.
34
Jacob then gave him some bread and the lentil stew; and Esau ate, drank, got up, and went his way. Esau cared little for his birthright.

SECONDLY, SHOES WERE THROWN AT HIM BY AN ARAB AS MENTIONED IN PSALM CHAPTER 60 VERSE 10 IN THE AMERICAN BIBLE

Psalms
Chapter 60

1 For the leader; according to "The Lily of…." A miktam of David (for teaching),
2 when he fought against Aram-Naharaim and Aram-Zobah; and Joab, coming back, killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
3 O God, you rejected us, broke our defenses; you were angry but now revive us.
4 You rocked the earth, split it open; repair the cracks for it totters.
5 You made your people go through hardship, made us stagger from the wine you gave us.
6 Raise up a flag for those who revere you, a refuge for them out of bow shot. Selah
7 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.
8 In the sanctuary God promised: "I will exult, will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.
10 5 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal. I will triumph over Philistia."
11 6 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?
13 Give us aid against the foe; worthless is human help.
14 We will triumph with the help of God, who will trample down our foes.

What's the nicest country on the Red Sea to go hiking around?

I’m drawn towards Eritrea, but I don’t know anything about any of them, really. I want to get the full red sea/Arabian experience, if you know what I mean. I’ll be sleeping in a tent as much as possible. For no particular reason, I’d like to avoid Egypt.

what would you recommend for a light 2 man tent?

I am looking for suggestions on a super good quality 2 man, 3 season tent that would have great weather proofing, easy to set up, and light enough to carry with my pack. I’ve never done an overnight hike before and so simplicty and easy of transportation is a must as it will no doubt involve hiking where going up 4000′ elevations and back down to a camping site would be done. Have friends who just hiked through baxter state park and climbed mt katahdin and someday I’d love to join them and want to be sure I burden myself appropriately in being able to go over the mountain and camp on the other side without things being to awkward

Where is the best tent camping spot in Colorado?

My wife and I have about 4 days with out the kids and want to go out and finally experience Colorado. We have lived here for 4 years and we hardlyh ever go to the mountains. We want to do some fishing and some easy to moderate hiking. Caming in a KOA is out of the question (that’s not really camping) but a mountain campground would be ok. If we need to hike in that would be fine too.. Thanks for any suggestions.

This WILL make you laugh out loud 2?

The National Poetry Contest had come down to the last two, a Yale graduate and a redneck from Texas. They were given a word, then they were allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word that they were given was "Timbuktu."
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:

Slowly across the desert sand Trekked a lonely caravan; Men on camels, two by two Destination Timbuktu.

The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:

Me and Tim a huntin’ went. Met three whores in a pop up tent. They was three, and we was two, So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.

The redneck won hands down!
