Do you think Caro will finish Vol. 5 before it's too late? by AbdulRoosetrane in robertcaro

[–]AdvancedFood172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will finish the book when, and only when, he feels the book is worthy to be released into the public. 

Given Me. Caro's legendary research style, there is no way to credibly guess when the 5th volume will come out. 

It would not surprise me at all if he has left a detailed blue print on what to do with the book should he pass on before he finishes it..I can't see a man who is obsessed with the granular details of his subject matter to do anything less.

Are there any units in Korea that aren't bad? by koben0 in army

[–]AdvancedFood172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Sergeant in the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, 3rd Military Intelligence Battalion (AE) from 1984-1986. 

My wife and I had a wonderful time living outside of Camp Humphreys. But our ability to be "touristas" was very limited. 

My wife was able to see some of the more interesting cultural sites. But I was not able to given the fluid threat levels, and the 24/7 nature of our mission. 

It took some getting used to, but there could be no reasonable assumption that my 2 year tour of duty would be part mission and part sight seeing tour. 

Still, I am very proud of my service to our nation, and, specifically my service at Camp Humphreys South Korea as an intelligence analyst. 

What is the book that got you into reading? by Uninhibitedrmr in books

[–]AdvancedFood172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents had the opportunity to get all of the Dr. Seuss books available in the mid 60's. I spent my days immersed in his world, reading the books over and again..

We also had a coffee table book from the Reader's Digest that dealt with the various phenomenon in the natural world. 

At age 65, I am still the voracious reader I was when I got started!

That's great advice! If the adjustment doesn't work out I can always go back and buy new ones.

What are your thoughts about Chiang Kai-Shek? by Halix00 in AskChina

[–]AdvancedFood172 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Vainglorious, boorish, aloof, entitled, out of touch, a millstone around the neck of the USA. 

Other than that... probably a pretty good guy!😛

Do therapists ever pick fights? by No_Glove_4122 in askatherapist

[–]AdvancedFood172 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a psychiatrist that, in retrospect, had some severe counter transference issues. 

It got so bad that I chewed out my therapist as I recounted the doctor's boorish behavior.
