lol. No sirree bobby.

There`s no please and thank you in there. However, they do expect a reply sandwich. A yes or no between to slices of SIR!!!

lol. I think this is a grand idea.

I think we are onto something.

I`ve got the camouflage and supplies for everything.

I wouldn`t mind getting a knock at being the Drill Instructor. Wouldn`t have tried it in the real Corps as those are some tough, hard nosed, and truly physically fit guys and gals. You hate them while you are going through boot camp but respect the heck out of them when you graduate.

Now you understand, we`ll have to set up machine gun nests at the front door. And for our take out, we`ll place the grenade up front with the number on the pin which states, "Take one".

What do you two think? I like the digital cammies but we`ve got to set certain days for the woodland and desert patterns.

The staff will get a raise as they gain rank.

We`ll even have a "brig" in the corner so that if someone wants to donate $10.00, the offending person will be locked down and fed bread and water.

You know, that`s not a bad gimmick. The first person to name the letter would win a free meal. (Not that that`s much consolation).

I don`t know if we`d give the points for the job performed. They would have to have a TIG (Time in Grade). Also a DOR (Date of Rank) for placement. Also, that grade must have an open slot.

The floor will be one billet. The kitchen another billet. Cleaning the heads (bathrooms) would be grunt work and the lowest billet of all.

There would be, instead of a matyre d at the door (not sure about spelling), but a Sergeant Major would be stationed with rifle in hand.

All floor men and women would be Privates to Corporals. Cooks designated Corporals to Sergeant. Of course you would have the designated Sergeant to Master Gunny in charge of every aspect.

But then you have to bring in Engineering to build any additions to the building, Supply for the necessary equipment and supplies, and Intelligence to make sure everyone is happy and not trying to blow the place up. And if they do try to blow the place up, they can perform a PsyOps program by dropping leaflets on their heads telling them our food is great.

I can go on and on and on and on...... you get my drift.

Dan

LOL! I can just see it...! You walk into the place, look around, and ask the Sergeant at Arms for a seat. He gets all up in your face, points you to a table and bench, and hollers at the top of his lungs, SIDDOWN AND SHADDAP!!

Excellent customer service, there, I thik... LOL!!

"You want WHAT!? WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

I like the machine-gun nests flanking the main entrance, which of course would be contained within sandbagging and concrete anti-terrorist concrete blocks. You could have a sentry at the parking entrance who stops you, "Ahoy there! Who goes?!"

There you go. That`s actually an idea. Valet parking with a guard house and perimeter fencing. The sentries on duty are the valets. When you pull up, they level their weapon at you and shout, "Halt, who goes there, friend or foe?"

Friends would of course have their vehicles parked. Foes would be shot. Too much?

I sell the airsoft paintball guns and rifles as well (just haven`t added them to my website yet) which resemble the real thing. The "soldiers" stationed at the Foxhole could be carrying these weapons for their arms and actually shoot people. They shoot the 6mm plastic BB or paintball which is more designed for tactical training rather than actual pain. The paintball guns you see with the big hoppers on top which resemble futuristic guns more than the real thing shoot a .68 caliber large paintball which definitely hurts when it hits you.

I`m restructuring my website right now so I`ll be adding them. I`ll be able to sell to myself and if the soldiers want a more personalized weapon (as long as it`s in specs), they`ll be able to purchase from me.

I guarantee this building would be one of the safest in the country. And you are going just to have some chow.

Also, don`t forget the landing pad and airstrip. A must have for those stop overs on the long haul.

Being near some major bases helps in that respect as well. We`re only 2 hours away from Fort Bragg and 4 hours away from Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point. Less time if you speed.

Believe me, when I had duty during the weekend, sometimes I`d make it to Lejeune in about 2 1/2 hours. (Don`t tell any of the cops that).

Dan

Puts a whole new meaning on the phrase "target market," I`m thinking.....! ;-)

OK, forgive me especially since I`m not militarily oriented, but how does one not "blow up" the place if the service number tag is on the grenade and we, the customer, are supposed to take a number?

jillybeans

Ummm.  It`s a joke jillybeans. lol. The person who actually came up with the grenade concept was using it for a complaint department and attaching the corresponding numbers. Of course, no one wanted to be number one. lol.

So it would serve the same purpose here.

Forgive me everyone for being away this week. It`s been busy as heck on my end. Mercy!! FINALLY!! The weekend!

Wait until you get a "taste" of how the Valentine`s Day meal went off.

Won`t be trying that one again for a while. I`ll order out next time.
