I know you probably think I’m crazy. But trust me when I tell you this. After you’ve been in the field so long isolated without literally any female interaction whatsoever, and you come across a female who’s above OT 2 ranking, even if she’s been in the field and stinks as bad as you, you’d give anything to do as much as to lick the sweat from her arse crack. In fact, the thought of of being nasty only enhances the yearning.

There does come a point for any straight man when all standards go straight out the window. Mine was, as I remember, roughly 6-7 weeks.

Thank you for your Dad's service all Nam vets are true heros. My Dad was in Korea, (Army Special Ops). He never talked about it much, not sure what he did. My oldest son is in Army Special Ops, 2 deployments and I'm not really sure what he does. May we all hold then high.

Fast forward to 1993, he was dying in the hospital. Not long before he passed he began speaking what sounded like fluent Japanese. An old shipmate of his was visiting, told me what I never knew…that at the end of the War they needed short guys to go into tunnels with a flashlight and a .45, trying to convince Japanese soldiers the war was over. He volunteered because he was short and stocky.



Well here is a story deserving its own thread. Did not know this even happened.

That’s awesome.

I have a picture of my dad standing on the top of an F-100 in Viet Nam.

Have another with him and some other guys using the top of a 55 gallon drum of agent orange as a table eating lunch.

This thread is why I love this board and all my fellow degenerate posters. What a great piece of history.

My great uncle (grandfathers brother) was part of a bomber crew near the end of WW2. He was the bomb aimer. His plane was torn to shreds and was ejected from the plane at high altitude. He was unconscious. The explosion from the fuselage of the plane woke him up mid air parachute already deployed.

He landed behind enemy lines in China and was eventually taken POW for ~3 months.

He evidently only spoke about this event a couple of times in his life.

Still living large and golfing in Slidel to this day!
