    The Threat of Modern Piracy- A Merged Thread

    Okay. I just got destroyed. Well, I surrender my position.  :whiteflag: I didn't know that - about the aid ships being attacked. It just all seems random, y'know? Why use toxic waste as an excuse, of all things? Aye, what MARS said makes a lot of sense, though. *head explodes*  Good luck...

    The Threat of Modern Piracy- A Merged Thread

    Regular or Reserve

    I don't know about what you've seen, but the guys I know who interrupt their schooling with a three-year contract (or even just a tour, though the two are often linked) - they never return to school.
