ultimately i want to be delta force, and i want something to set me up for better succes in doing so. i would love to do either, sf or rangers, really what i want is a kick a## and take names kinda thing. from what i have read sf diversifies in more than one mission type while rangers are direct action, is this true? i guess i want to know pretty much which is more badass. i am looking for input on the subject as i am upon my re-enlistment window. if you are non-military please don’t respond to this, only current service or retired pls. thankyou for your time and as allways hoo-ahh!!!!!

Good luck with going Delta. I went to the briefing twice. first time I chickened out, as i wanted to see my kids grow up. The second time they threw me the line that Delta takes better care of family members than regular Army, so I went for it. Failed the Psych exam. Well, i was ‘ not the required material’. Too psycho? Not psycho enough? I dont know.
As far as Rangers go, they MAKE A HOLE for Delta to go in. I dont know if you were around for the Iran Hostage crisis, but while delta was busy pulling bodies out of the burning wreckage of their aircraft in Iran, Ranger danger was ALREADY THERE, and secured an airfield for Delta’s return trip.
If you want to truly, ‘go for the gusto’, go airborne, Air Assault, Ranger, then try for SF, then if you are not a psychotic basket case by then, go delta. Combat engineer is a good start. i have a friend who spent his whole career finding things that go boom. He has trained troops around the world, and has recently been in Afghanistan on an international task force finding out where all these IEDs are coming from. Hush hush stuff. He is being groomed for a slot in the CIA or something.
I retired as a lowly mechanic, which gave me the opportunity to serve in Armor, infantry, Artillery, Cav, and worked with ranger danger, too. believe it or not, but delta has its own mechanics, that is part of their sales pitch to Army Mechanics. you learn to rebuild and operate everything from weed eaters to train locomotives, and go on missions that might require a specialist grease monkey. Also, they use you as a practice ‘hostage’ or bad guy in training. so you get your a## beat on a regular basis.
If you plan on going this route, dont plan on keeping a lasting relationship with anything other than your weapon. You will spend about one month every year training in each type of environment, Desert, Arctic, tropical, and temperate climates, not to mention all kinds of little rapid deployment exercises.
One thing people might not realize. Delta occasionally comes knocking. for some reason your name comes up on a list. mine did twice. you DONT have to already be SF or anything else. just what they are looking for at the time. you DO have to go airborne and air assault IF they select you, then IF you pass that, THEN you start your ultimate badass training.
just remember that all of this is good training, and you can be the ultimate badass, but it is all for a REASON, protecting this nation, and helping others be free. dont blow things up just because you like the pretty flash.

I have Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003 SP1. I have followed all advice in forums etc to make my Windows Application an executable setup file so that I may install it on another machine. However, all forums tell me to go to New Project: Setup and Deployment Projects: Setup Wizard.

My Visual Studio does not have a Setup Wizard where it is supposed to be. How come? Can anybody advise on where I can download the update/patch for this? I need to have this project implemented ASAP and this is all that is left for me to do!

************************************PLEASE HELP ME URGENTLY************************************

Thank you.

I use InnoSetup, which is a freeware solution although you can donate to the project.

With a .net app you have to make sure the dotnet framework is installed on the target PC, or the app won’t run. The installer generally puts the exe file into a folder in Program Files, creates the start menu shortcuts and often provides an uninstall routine as well.

There are a few myths around the XP to Windows 7 migration, and this video is the first in a series all about application compatibility and deployment of Windows 7.

We address XP Mode, application compatibility, the lack of an in-place upgrade from XP to Windows 7, and the tools available to help you deploy for free.

My husband will be deploying for Baghdad sometime between November and December. The situation is that my father and step-mother are pressuring me to come out and visit them.

The holidays are basically out the window now as we can’t be sure what day specifically he will deploy (the military changes dates a lot and can’t be reliable). So I mentioned to dad about coming out in the next month before he leaves,with the new baby. He said he doesn’t want to see the baby and wants me to bring my older daughter but he is so small I can’t leave him with dad even. I have two babies (18 month old daughter, and 4 month old son) and it is impossible for me to fly there alone with them both. I explained all that to him and he acted weird. Truth be told, I want to get the visit out of the way because once my husband deploys I won’t be able to fly and I can’t understand why it’s so hard for them to hop on a plane and come see us. My step-mom is a trouble maker but I ignore it, so what to do???????

First of all, I think your father or whoever, should be aware of the pressures of military life. It is not easy to be bounced around and to not know for sure about assignments or dates. If your father is unwilling to understand that, then he isn’t much of a grandfather and doesn’t much care about you.

I don’t want to be negative to you or tell you that your dad is bad etc. But I can’t understand firstly, why he would expect you to take your children when they are so little and won’t do well traveling. Trust me, any child under 3 years old is a big challenge to fly with and having two is just impossible. Even if a friend is with you, count on crying kids the whole time.

I think that your family is being selfish and thoughtless about your situation. Not only will the flight be a nightmare, even with ONE, you will have to pack the nursery and once you get there, your baby might freak out because he is in a unfamiliar place.

I also think its so weird that your father doesn’t want to see your son! What is that supposed to mean anyhow? I think most grandfathers would be nuts to see their grandson it just sends out a weird feeling. As a mother, I would be really leery and would just make some excuses to him when he calls and act like you are too busy this or that.

But first before making stories about your ‘busyness’ you should tell him straigh forwardly that it can’t work flying with both babies. Tell him you don’t feel right about leaving the newborn behind and wouldn’t be able to sleep without him by your side. (By the way, the person who said to trust dad is totally wrong, its not about trust or lack of, its about a mother’s bond with her newborn. Some mothers aren’t ready to separate from their newborns and that is very normal.)

Explain that it won’t work any other way and also tell him clearly that you are not going to buy a ticket to go there if they are just going to pout all weekend about your daughter not being there, etc. Just say outright that you don’t want to waste your time if they are going to be in moods. I understand that you probably were thinking to get the visit ‘out of the way’ while your husband is gone, but it won’t work like this with family members who are that unreasonable.

i know for some programms as like
softthinks restore solution
paragon deployment manager
paragon system recovery 7.0
winpe an sdi with windows embelded tools
Softhing restore solution creats a dvd that is bootable and a one click restore button and restore intire hdd
i wanna somethink like this.

If you have a full retail version of Windows you can use BartPE or Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD). If you have an OEM version of Windows they may or may not work so well.

David sat down with Maryann Blake, Baldwin Ng, and Mellissa Stowe to help you learn how the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 (MDT),

Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 4.0 (MAP), and Infrastructure Planning and Design guides (IPD), can help you deploy Windows 7 or

Server 2008 R2. With so many tools, which one should you use when? What are some limitations of each tool?
