Think I will stick with the bank. :)

Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Smart man, Felix!

Gm Felix.
Love your comment. So... how would rate this one bf I pick it up?

Michael,
You are right.
Hard to get your arms around these consequences.

Thanks Michael.
Appreciate it.
Years ago, I actually took a self help class at the airport re fear of flying.
The last day we had to get on the plane and fly in the air for 30 minutes. I didnt pass as I wouldnt get on the plane. Not worth the stress and anxiety I do to myself.

Hi.
This isnt helping helping with my fear of flying, guys. I suppose its time to invest in hiking boots. :)

Aren't physical exams required during service? I would guess an officer could hide it for awhile, but those in the showers dont always keep their mouths shut. Are they removed from the ranks- Can't say I know anything about that.
Do you disagree with Michaels response?

Felix, you bring up an interesting thought.

Michael, Totally agree with your answer; I would have assumed that is a given. Curious - are there any countries that don't require this line of thinking?

C.S. Harris is impressive. I haven't read any of her books, but did spend a fair amount of time reading her bio which is also impressive. Looked up a few articles written about her.
Certainly has the back-round coupled with a good sense of humor.

Idk. Which writer (s) would you consider most suitable ?

Cphe wrote: "I much preferred the earlier Smiley novels."

I had a feeling you might say that.
Im hearing the same thing.

Cphe wrote: "I'm currently reading Silverview on kindle."

Cphe,
What do you think, so far?
I'm also reading it.
Just started it.

Has anyone read "The Cellist" yet by Daniel Silva?

Too cute Felix- thank you. I miss you!!
Lee, I read the book awhile ago; at the time I gave it a 5 star rating based on the story and criteria, not personal opinions.
Knowing a little more than a Mossad cheerleader, I was comparing truths, and knew before hand the issues with the author.
How does one enjoy reading a book while resenting it at the same time.
If you haven't done so, reading a "few" articles about the author before you start the book.
Lmk what you thought of the book.

Got to it. Thank you.

Andy, on my computer after clicking your link, the page doesnt show. Check it out- could just be me.

Definitely not Brownshirts.

"BrownCoats"?

D99, That was the only movie I ever watched with Jackie Chan. Felix, is "Prods" a slang term?
