What’s the “BCS”?

FYI…you can’t spell “Citrus” without “UT”

Chinese Visa

I was glancing at the Chinese Visa requirements. Anyone care to share recent experience? A quick scan of DeltaNet looks like they want DD214, military history and a bunch of other invasive info. Is it just a fishing expedition to see what they can collect or is that much personal info really required? I don't recall giving that much info previously.

The bonanza of unprecedented upgrades is drying up. Congrats to those, myself included, who struck gold in the last 18 months.

Don’t hate the player, hate the…oh wait.
