Howard,

I going to see if Karen can attend this. She is dedicated to DR gear, but will be diving with a Meg freak.

Hey -- what happened to the Kiss representation!!! It's just like the SCRUBS trips. We Kiss divers get the "back of the bus" on the boats and now we're "off the program"!

Seriously, though. I think you've got a great idea, Howard. Best of luck and, hopefully, we can recruit some more CCR divers in Florida.

Wow, she's been able to resist assimilation by the Collective! Karen definitely sounds like a keeper - Maybe a bit of her positive influence will rub off on you and reprogram you away from that damn cult. Plus, I'm sure you don't want her looking like one of those assimilated Borg Babes!

Good point Doug!

I fully support Doug's proposal to officially discourage participation by Meg divers and instead focus our efforts on promoting participation by Kiss divers on all future Florida S.C.R.U.B.'s trips - That should improve the calibur of the demographics of our trips!

Doug,
Have you seen the brutality these Optima divers are capable of?
Flying under the radar was more appealing than being prey in this pride of lions.

Any chance that this could be a good forum for SCRUBs divers to learn about the other units as well? Since we all dive together, it would be nice to know the insides and outsides of our buddies units. I know the main goal of the seminar is to introduce non-RBrs to CCR, so I'll shut up if I'm out of line. I'd still like Karen to attend so she has a better understanding of what it's all about, and I'm sure she will be diving silent someday.

Adrian, kiss off!

Doug, are we ever going to see you on a SCRUB trip again?

Just kidding guys. Howard, this sounds like a great event!

Kiss divers don't need to worry, because you've always exhibited an independent non-hive like thought process, consequently, we don't consider you prey and welcome you into our den!

It's the hive's drones the "pride" attacks!!

That's right Doug, we miss you!!!!

And Howard, sorry for diverting the focus of your thread!! It acutally does sound like it's going to be a good event for anyone looking to learn more about transitioning into the silent world - Good luck!!

And Eric, you know it's our job to entertain the masses, like the Sheep Dog and the Wolf on the old Looney Tunes Cartoon. However, when five o'clock comes and we're off the clock, the gloves come off and we go buy each other a beer!

The way you guys always seem to schedule the SCRUBS trips on my "on-call" weekends, I thought it was something personal.

I'm on call again the last weekend in June. Is that the next trip?
