And yes I have been on top of that radar tower during a wash down, and watch us open the well deck even though our Mike 8 boats were not onboard.

I didn't, but anyone who loses limbs during war should be taken care of for the rest of their life.



Agreed.

We should even fully fund the lifestyles and retirements of every single service member with PTSD for the rest of their lives. Hunnidpercent.

I started this thread because my four nephews thought it was beneath them and my niece wouldn't make it.

This will be the first generation in my family not to serve.

Israel has it right but for different reasons. Military service should be mandatory.

It was they are now on their 3rd Wal Mart. I remember when Torchy was the fast food and Daisy trailer was the "massage" parlor.

Which one did you prefer to fly? Always like asking aviators who have flown different aircrafts which one did they like the most and why.

I attended Navy boot in 94, graduated but had a medical issue and got discharged


Same happened to me, only it was in 1970 when I joined while still in high school and left for Orlando 1 week after graduation.

Figured with me not wanting to go to college I'd be draft board fodder once I hit 18 and I didn't particularly like the idea of being a grunt in the jungles of Nam.

Made it through 10 weeks of boot camp and had a bad shoulder separation that saw me having to hit sick bay. A few x-rays later and a Dr's. consultation saw me being put in a medical holding company to be discharged. It was a long time issue for me having suffered multiple separations over the years and the recruiter wanted to fill quotas

Navy refused to operate since it was not service connected and Uncle Sam didn't want the responsibility.
