Hi all,
It's been a hectic few weeks. I recently moved houses and was stuck without my DSL for what seemed like eternity. I'm back now (if anyone cares :lol: ) and will try to help out once again on the forums.
I'm working on a user manual for the XDA Tools which I hope to release soon.
I'd also like to share with you guys how suddenly things can change. A colleague of mine from work died this morning when he smashed his Mustang into the guard rail of the highway he was driving on. He was 21. There he was speaking to me the day before, said 'See you tomorrow.' and now in a morgue. Kind of puts everything else into perspective.
Take care.
Sheran
Sorry to hear that. Life would be so much better if we treated everybody as if it was the last time we were ever going to see them, that way there would be fewer regrets when somebody does die.
Sorry to hear that.
If you follow rallying in America, or international maybe..
My Uncle Roger Freeman was killed in a rallying accident in America in July. Mark Lovell was driving the Subaru, which was competing in the Oregan Trails Rally. Cars are dangerous, there are no 2 ways about that.
The funeral's for Mark, and Roger were spectacular here in the UK. You just have to do these people proud when they have been taken away like this. Mark and Roger will be remembered forever in the rallying world.
My thoughts go out to the friends and family. Just remember the good times...
Best Regards, Martin Freeman

Would you like to stop that?
Sunday night at around 10:30 eastern time my father and three younger brothers were in a bad car accident on their way home from vacation...my dad, mark manis, passed away on impact and my brothers were injured ...Eli is the youngest at 9yrs old, tucker is 11, and corey is 16. My name is seth and I am 19 years old ....eli got minor cuts and bruises but is overall healthy and ok...tucker shattered his hip, pelvis, and femer and is recovering from surgery a foot away from me as I type...corey was ejected through the windshield and thankfully only suffered a large gash in his skull but no brain damage as well as pulmonary bruising. 3 years ago we lost our mother to leukemia and this situation has come as such a shock and we are so hurt by it.. we are left with no parents now and it is just unbearable...we need prayers and thoughts...this feels like a nightmare and I don't know what to even do...we do not have much money and are trying to get some together so that we can get my father a proper funeral .... im bedside by Tucker right now in pediatric ICU at UT medical center in Knoxville Tennessee ......thank you for reading everyone and I hope that all be blessed...

You did the right thing by doing a post. Keep on reaching out in different ways.
You have to be strong for those around you, but you also are going through the same pain as they are.. So go easy on yourself too in the days and weeks ahead.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Hey guys...thank you for all the support. This has been a hard week....corey and eli are doing ok. Tucker is slowly recovering right now in ICU. His surgery went well and it is just so hard on him. His heart is hurt and I know its gotta have such an affect on his recovery. Please continue the prayer for us guys. The past couple days have been so hard on me. I've had to make decisions that a 19 year old should never have to make. We all need prayers...thank you and I will keep you guys updated as much as I can.

Hi Seth. I am very sorry to hear about this. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God bless you all!
Like the title states... I'm pre-enlisting into the Marine Corps next summer, and I've recently gotten into XDA. I figured I'd try to find anyone else on this Forum in/joining the Military.
I almost signed up to the British Army when i was 16 and have always regretted not following through with it. In my work i have a lot of colleagues who are ex-military and they're all great guys. Every one of them deserve the utmost respect for serving their country.
If it's what you want to do, don't let anything stand in your way! Keep us updated with your news and hopefully in future you can tell us stories about your Boot-Camp and Tours of duty!
I'm also in the process of joining the USMC. I'm just waiting for my backround check to come in but its been two months already .. I think its because I had to put in a waiver but hopefully my waivers go thru ..

Why don't you try giving it another chance? Also, If I lived in Britain, I'd try going for their Royal Marine Commandos... Talk about bad ass!

That's great! What if we meet up? Haha. I'm gonna be going to MEPS in about a year, so hopefully all goes well. I'm only 16 right now, but I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

Waaay too old now!
I'm sitting next to a retired Ghurka atm and those guys are fearless. Most of them serve for 20 years or more and have seen combat all over the world. One of them, who is a serving soldier, is currently under investigation for cutting the head off a Taliban fighter.
Who needs guns!
Edit: I'm 'Thanking' everyone in this thread who is serving or joining up. It's the least a civvy could do!
I was in the USAF, 4 years, best experience of my life.

When the military are used to police the civilians in their own country you know that something is wrong! Any soldier that raises a weapon to one of their own deserves everything that IS coming to them!
Good luck my friend. The people will always triumph in the end, be patient!
I deeply believe in Karma. Not as some supernatural, occult force...just that everyone has everything that's coming to them! Live your life as a good person and good things will come your way. Live your life as an evil bastard and that's how your life will end.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. What goes around, comes around. Pick your metaphor! The good will out...

There's no politicaling going on around here! So how's everyone finding their HTC, Widows Mobile phone anyway.....?
Edit: It's a shame that there have to be divisions, borders, territory, politics in real life. We are all one race and we all share the same planet. XDA is my favourite site because the things that bring us together knows no boundaries. I now have friends all over the world, all good people, and like the other 99% of the worlds population we all want the same thing! A long and fruitful life and good health for ourselves, our friends and our families.
In a forum of 4 million members i would say that XDA OT is the place to come to find friendship, understanding, respect, fun, sadness, joy, and laughter. We have member aged from 14 years to 60 years, from every walk of life, from every nation. We don't fight, we don't hate...we laugh, we share sorrow and we spread happiness. I would be a lesser person if not for the people i surround myself with here. I learn with these people, i share with these people...these people are my family!*
*The mods are especially awesome!
I was born in the military. My mom was in the Army and had me right before her Unit was deployed to Grenada or Panama or some place back then. She had the choice of signing me over to the custody of the US or get out of the military. My mom was born in the military, too. On one of the Naval bases in Hawaii. My grandpa was in the Marines. I got accepted in high school but backed out when a mess of things happened and none of my family wanted me to enlist, but rather go in after collage. Got rejected when I was 23 for enlistment and again when I was 25. Too much trouble making when I was a kid. Maybe we'll get in another world war and open the draft again. I'll join then, they won't reject me then.
Im thinking of enlisting in the airforce.....any thoughts?

I've been through it with my wife's late grandmother. She died last year of stomach and liver cancer, we helped nurse her at her home in the last few weeks of her life.
My thoughts are with you and your family. Nothing we can say can really help, but concentrate on the good memories, even while you are in hospital with her.
If you need to cry then cry, it is part of the healing process.
Doctor has told us 2 weeks Max in hospital and she requested to go home

I'm a "Senior Member" and I still know nothing . Maybe a little, but I feel people assume that I really know what I'm doing because of the Senior Member thing. All it really means is that I posted 100 times, not made 100 threads just posted a reply or whatever.
I came here to see what this "rooting" thing I heard about is. Now I'm hooked and would hate to go without
