    Hey Michelle

    Another Marine checking in 1965 - 68. Most of my time was spent in Nam followed by a year in the hospital. I went back there with my daughter this past summer...a great trip...beautiful country and people. How about you?

    Uh oh - now we started it. I'm in the AF. And yes, we had uniforms under McPeak that looked like bus drivers. No witty comebacks for that one. They're better now, but still made of polyester...

    After finding out what you DO for the AF while we were at Hot Springs, you can rest assured that I'll NEVER make fun of your uniform!

    I served from 1996-2000 (here come the rolling eyes....) in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Hey....if they let you choose where to be stationed, wouldn't you have picked it over 29 stumps?

    Not unless you want to see a male Marine dressed up like one dog ugly hooker (I was his "pimp"). We went to our unit Halloween party that way....pretty hilarious.

    Talk about hilarious.....I couldn't stop laughing at this pic

    I'm guessing her invisible plane is a C-130 Hercules.

    (them's BIG cargo planes, US and Russian, respectively. LAPES is using a parachute to yank cargo out without landing the plane.)

    Jeff, didn't know you're in the AF, former active duty Marine here. So what DO you do in the AF? BB makes it sound like you're a PJ or CC. Am I close?
