In the Med.: USS San Marcos LSD 25 (landing ship dock, do we still have any of those?).

For me AP Hill was three days of hiking through the greenbrier with no food and one day of mock prison camp. Not a fond memory.

LSDs are still around. They house LCACs now, in addition to Helos.

Whatever you do, don't search for just LSD. You'd get Timothy Leary's concoction instead.

Cool. My dad really likes it too. He thinks Legend of Korra totally sucks, though.

Hello and welcome to the madness trilaan. I couldn't help but notice you put Vandread as one of your favorite titles. If you have not seen it already you might want to check out Martian Successor Nadesico. The show is similar to Vandread. Or I suppose I should say Vandread is similar to it as Nadesico came first.

Wow! That's awesome. Welcome to AnimeNewsNetwork!

I also like Planetes, I'm in the middle of the series right now. I think it's a very interesting anime.

I work Night Audit at a hotel too!....actually I guess I might as well say "use to." I've had enough and put in my notice.

Sounds like you work at an interesting place that attracts a certain kind of people. Last hotel I worked at attracted hookers and druggies....odd seing that we worked with police who also patrolled are parking lot. Guess you could say I have ruined over 20 lives.

Ah, sounds very similar. I didn't actually leave the hotel where I worked at the time until after this guy tried to slice his girlfriend's throat in front of me. Everyone I know that also worked there considers themselves to be a survivor rather than simply a "former employee."

I just barely became interested in anime 1 week ago after seeing some Toonami namely Naruto which is pretty good. Not sure what else to put here really I'm very new at this anime thing so pardon me if I don't understand a lot of the terminology used here.
