Moderators Needed

[terrilee]

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'

My sincere condolences on your loss

And i do remember the bad times and the good as i served from 1979 to 2003
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

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*..

@cara tyvm

become a PGR Patriot Guard Rider,
except as PGR you are NOT allowed to beat 'em up or u'll get kicked out

there was one ride i was on, i almost, almost so Fing close got kicked off
but the other guys held me back and covered my mouth.
as PGR your just supposed to stand there and take it BUT the main purpose to block the view and movement of them sickos, so the family can have some peace . And to ride in honor for their sacrifice

there is really something VERY unique among all
spec ops groups. they know, they know what each team is capable of.

not saying NON spec ops people arent brave, great soldiers, sailors etc
but spec ops are spec ops.
i dont have to explain this to you
i still have his challenge coin.

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... 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...
