Hi Teddy
Thanks for the vote of confidence:cheers:
Im kind but firm in my beliefs so dont any one take it for weakness on my part
As nice as i am to my friends i can be just as mean to my enemies
I have a dark side as well as a light, the trick is balancing them to utilize the strenghts of both to make the sum of those parts far better as a whole .

Hank..you are very welcome my fellow retired military CPO. Let us not forget our CPO creed..just as I shall never forget the Hippocratic Oath I swore to as a Combat Medic(Corpsman as you know..most do not know what that is..so when I say Medic..they say..ah ok):hmm:. We treated our fallen enemies with the very same medical care as we did our own troops. As I see it..enemy or not..were are all humans..and war with them was not over hatred of those in front of us...it was over love for those behind us. I too have a dark and light side. On here I tend to be a bit cocky...righteous and probably even borderline humorous. But when the proverbial 'Shit hits the fan' I fall into a serious...fair..non judging and strictly business mode. Odd that you mentioned 'career military' as today my gf took down my retirement shadow box to clean and dust. She pointed out each ribbon and asked what the stars on them meant. So I explained each ribbon and the gold and silver stars..since it was the first time she ever asked about them. Just as yours..each ribbon has a story and while many bring a smile...just as many bring a tear. When I explained the 5 Navy Achievement and 4 Navy Commendation ones she exclaimed "Oh my gawd are you nuts..you could have been killed" To which I replied.."Yes I could have..but dedication to duty and a sworn oath..comes before fear..for you only allow yourself the fear...after your mission is accomplished"
Thank you as well for your service...:tup:

isnt it great how our service members, past or present,
are now thanked openly, saluted, nowadays it is a honor to be a service member.

i remember going on my honey moon
in Pittsburgh, Intl. our home area,
1 guy thanked my hubs, he was spit on 3 times
in Atalanta where we transferred to LA.
a guy, young punk, same age as us, threw spaghetti
on him.
in LA omg it was totally TOTALLY horrible

He had on his beret, at that time only 1 group was allowed to wear 'em,

But those memories ares so clear, i really would love to see him in his beret, and uniform in todays atmosphere.
he wouldnt be proud, he'd be humble but just as im sure you guys appreciate the thanks, but realize those that can, do.
Not all men are created equal.


thanks guys for 'walking that line'

Hank....1981-2003 here. So hey..that means we are no longer 'Fleet Reserve' we are fully retired instead. Shouldn't we get a notification of that? I have not..
@ terrilee I am sorry as well... times then were horrible for service members..but then..even today we have groups that spit on troops...hold up signs that say "The only good soldier is a dead one"...and many that protest at military funerals. All while living in the comforts of their free society..which was brought to them courtesy of men such as your hubby. The audacity of such behaviour makes me irate. They have freedom because of those they condemn..yet they don't have to balls to join and be a part of their freedom. It is similar to those with armed body guards..preaching to us that we have no rights to firearms or self protection. *Steps off his Soap Box*.. :)

[terrilee]

we were in from '75-'86

and hankers thanks you
but you knew all that, lol
but i understand you alot better now then 2 yrs or more ago when we met

All of you were more or less dam lucky. So was I. Vietnam and Korea and Japan and the closest I came to getting scared was an ofd duty South Vietnamese soldier pulled a pin at the end of the alley I lived on in Saigon and blew himself apart. In fact so lucky I have been half ashamed till recently.

Yes, it is nice that a few civilians act like they think we are not dirt. But I noticed that the sales clerks at Lowes no longer say anything about it, when I show my ID and ask for the 10% discount. They used to thank us for our service.

But pay attention to the US governement. Pay attention to how our damaged brotheres are treated. A friend who had his knees permanently damaged from a bad chute landing is still waiting for surgery and I have no doubt it will not come before he goes on Medicare and thus gets off VA's budget. The VA is underfunded. It always has been and always will be. Your retirement with not keep up with the real changes in the cost of things you buy Hank, . I could go on, but I think we all know the drill. Look at the homeless and the suiside and unemployed statistices. Frankly, as a businessman, I hate the fact that I often cannot find a younger vet that I can trust with with my customers.

I think it is a serious problem. I am a bit worried about it. But those of you as young as Hank perhaps need to worry more.

Hi Lloyd
I hope that is correct as its been a while my friend and my memory is not as good as it was in days gone bye
How ya been i hope all is going well
Not to worry my friend, over the full span of my career ive managed to save quite a bit and have made wise investments which have paid off nicely, so even in the event of my pension being lost i would still be well off
I appreciate the concern and thank you from the bottom of my heart

Hank awesome..did not know that about you my friend. Many think we Navy are just ship bound. Not so...many of us are 'Ground Pounders" 2nd Battalion 6th Marines...3rd Battalion 6th Marines...3rd Battalion 4th marines...8th Combat Engineers and my final a fave duty... 2nd Force Recon.Did one stint on the USS John C Stennis CVN74..precommed that ship. Worst 3 years of my life..no grass or dirt for cover in case of incoming fire...and walking on steel decks is hard on the feet and knees.Not to mention all night flight ops with F18..F14's and Helo's launching during your 2-3 hours allotted sleep at night. Also we trained with 101st Airborne...and one SEAL Team that taught us cover,concealment,Land NAV and Night Ops. Parachuted 3 times with 101st Airborne.. Ok let me rephrase that with honesty... Was PUSHED out of a plane 3 times with 101st Airborne wearing a Parachute.(All wise Squids know you don't jump out of a perfectly good airplane..that is for emergency purposes only!) 2nd Force Recon...our snipers were ONE HARDY group... departing our unit at night and spent 3-4 days no food or water(except what they found edible) on their bellies in the prone position the whole time..never standing up! Training with the SEALS was fun..talk about pranksters!! Sneak in at night..capture our night watchmen..confiscate ammo and unguarded weapons and ammo..disable our vehicles and destroy our food supply(But hell MRE's are already destroyed..some real nasty constipate you for a week food as you know) One day will send you a pic of my Ghillie suit a 2nd Class SEAL taught me to make....took 3 weeks in the field to make it. My most prized possession... from my service. With cover scent while deer hunting they have walked within 10 feet of me...were a bit jittery and nervous...yet clueless...>D When it comes to Special Forces..I can no longer watch old episodes of Macgyver...pfft too fake and a mere Amateur he was Sir...:lmao:

Yes kinda soft. Someone as hardcore as Lemmy is even soft in a hard way. I imagine the members list would dwindle as he moderated. The only one who may be worse is Henry Rollins. That guy knows how to yell and be insulting. Absolutely too hardcore for moderation.. Hope he isn't on here or he may come and get me for saying something :no:

[spandi]

I remember reading an article years ago in Kerrang (British Metal Mag) when he was being interviewed, he was wearing a tiny button and when the reporter leaned over to examine it, it read: "nosey f***er aren't you?" Typical Lemmy.

Lloyd...what you say my friend..is the sad truth. The VA does not compensate me for my service connected issues. For one...I was not given a Purple Heart for the AK bullet to my back right side...taking out a portion of my kidney and the Adrenal Cortex. Reason being for the above both...it was a civilian lady that did it. THEREFORE it is NOT considered "Due to enemy engagement" Seems the Gov will do anything to save money due us...to spend on themselves.>:( Just as you mentioned..I often think in terms of the near future in that on a whim they will suspend and cancel our currently received retirement pensions. While just as they do now...can serve one term in Congress and get a 100% retirement pension. We must do 20 years to get 50% and 30 years to get 75%...and now that seems threatened. Glad you did ok in Vietnam...my uncle did not fair so well...because as he says... "There...just as work in my civilian job...I never knew who my enemy was" He was the victim of some sort of trap..where when stepping on the trigger mechanism..4 sharpened Bambo spears spring up and catch you in the chest. Wow..and I thought IED's in Iraq were Barabaric..:no:
Lloyd...I can tell by your writings and enjoy them VERY much...that you can take a man out of the military..but you shall never take the military out of such man. I keep a Journal on my PC of all my thoughts and writings...it is very therapeutic for me. Here it is my friend--> Observations on life by Glenn #6470: Fear is not reality...it is just a product of thoughts we create in or minds..... Danger is very real....but fear is a choice....

Hi
+100
And if i may add this
What is a Veteran?
Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.

Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity.

Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem.

You can't tell a vet just by looking.

He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel.

He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel.

She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.

He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL.

He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs.

He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand.

He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.

He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies
unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep.

He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come.
He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs.

He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.

So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.

Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU".

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the
freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag."

terrilee...ah ok...tx ma'am *tips hat*...gotcha...referring to it as 'fun' makes the PTSD less...but that in actuality is bad. It has to be released as I do in therapy..or it becomes dangerous to your sanity..

glad u seen what i meant :yay:
30-35 yrs ago
they didnt know what PTSD was, o im sure they did, BUT......
and actually there were 'no' wars, conflicts, w/e ever going on at that time
but you know, people were always in harms way, in El Salvador, Croatia, etc etc
just not 'official'
so there was no studies, therapy, etc
o the spec ops compounds, home bases, had lots of therapy available
for the guys, but back then, that was consider weak.
especially if they wanted to stay Berets
lotta guys would ask to be reassigned

Sad but so very true! Not every OP is known or televised...we did brief OPS...that if under 30 days there was no combat pay...and short Special OPS are not reflected on your DD214..so the VA does not acknowledge them. Many units are used briefly as you say in El Salvador..Columbia..Ecuador etc... to deter drug Cartel. It will not show on your DD214...so you get zero....zip...nada..

Oh..I am sure it was just in error...*rolls eyes*..the majority of folks I know including myself have that. They say it can be fixed if you can show proof. So how does this work??... I mail them a Camel Spider from Afghanistan or a Kilo of fresh raw uncut Cocaine from Columbia....as proof?....:hmm:
