I have to start out by complimenting your skill and commom sense in hosting this forum where opinions often clash. Your posts are solid and level headed -- thank you! I'm actually just curious about how this all started. What inspired you to start this community and why? Do you have a military background? Thanks.

[FallenAngel]

I dunno why he started the site, but I know he couldn't go into the Service like he wanted because of Asma :)

Hood served an illustrious thirty year military career attaining the rank of Field Marshal General. Throughout his career he served throughout sensitive postings around the globe doing hush hush things that no one will ever hear about. Hood served his country through half a dozen presidencies and over a dozen war time conflicts where he was highly decorated for valor.

Hood is qualified in advanced and technical rock and building climbing, combat and emergency medicine, close quarters battle/urban warfare, anti-terrorist defensive driving, improvised explosive devices, and various forms of high risk infiltration and exfiltration. He holds a masters degree in national security and strategic studies, is fluent in Spanish, French, Arabic, and Russian, and is conversational in German, Farsi, and an eastern European tongue or two. He is a liscensed fixed wing pilot and is a qualified rotary wing aviator.

Charged for a crime he did not commit, Hood went underground and started this web site as his link back to the world he sacrificed so much for. When your in trouble and there is no else to call, turn to Hood.

"I pity da foo who touch ma car"

I think that show had alot to do with the way i am today.... wow.... good stuff

I should of thought of this. What were the A-teams MOS. Obviously, Hannibal is 18A. Possibly, BA is the demo or weapons. But Murdock, I mean the Nightstalkers didnt exist then, but I thought medical doctors and pilots couldnt go through SF training. you guys do the rest.

[hood]

haha rofl I don't think I can beat that so I'm not going to try. :)

Concerning the original question, just as I was happening across virtualpender's site of special forces pics off a google search, looking for pics from op enduring freedom (probably like most of the people on here), his site went down from too many people looking at it. I offered to help and then before I knew it, all these guys started hanging out here and freeloading. By the way FallenAngel, the proper ****unciation is "Ass Mar". (Note the reference from Piggie in the book, Lord of the Flies.)

[JiJoMacLE45]

Face, who is the man by the way, had to be the ops/intel sgt. Murdock was not SF to the best of my knowledge, he was a CWO who flew helos. And wasn't Hannibal a colonel. Face was an E-7 and BA was a E-5 or E-6. I just caught a rerun the other day and they were in their class A's. How pathetic is it that I remember this. On top of which, those guys couldn't hit jack with those mint AC-556s, but they could flip the hell out of the MP's jeep. But yeah if you were a guy who grew up in the eighties and had a shred of testosterone in your body, you were raised on a healthy diet of the . . . A-Team.

[Duke]

Shouldn't have the series then be called, at the least, C-Team? That is if Hannibal was a colonel.

[hood]

The only show where thousands of rounds of ammo were fired per episode and no one ever got hit.

[JiJoMacLE45]

Yeah I guess if you wanted to get technical, you'd have to call it the
C-team. But not much about that show made sense. If you are a group of fugitives, a big black van with a red stripe and wing is probably not the most inconspicuous vehicle to be hauling around in if you want to avoid drawing attention to yourself. And somebody ask ShooterB how many SF guys wear six dozen gold chains and sport a pimped out mohawk. But none the less, the . . . A-Team was undeniably a masterpiece that influenced thousands if not millions.

Every time a vehicle flipped and blew up, the crew would always crawl out and confirm everybody was still okay. rofl

"Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly
escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as
soldiers of forture. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."

Colonel John ‘Hannibal’ Smith
Lieutenant Templeton ‘Face’ Peck
Sergeant Bosco ‘BA’ Baracus
Captain H. M. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock

Thanks Hood.

Hood's the man, and I can honestly say I look forward to the message boards every day.

Speaking of 80's TV, how about Magnum P.I.
If I'm not mistaken, the first portrayal of a former Navy SEAL on TV. Loved that show.

I couldn't pass this up...
