Belt Fed has a tiny, red strapless dress he wears on his hand for special occasions.

We retired the same year! I did 24. You did well. Pissed off the old man and still made Senior Chief! Me? Made Chief is all. Did that in 10 years, then MAYBE one E-7 in my NEC was promoted throughout the entire Navy. Oh well. Still would do it all again.

They aren't citizens. :p

Hell, I felt a bit embarrassed to wear the National Defense Service Medal. All I had accomplished at the time was graduate from basic training in 1974. I earned the others.

If I show some of the national news mug shots I copy and use for target practice, will I be scolded?

Is there another private indoor range you can utilize in your town?

I was quite proud to have been able to wear my gold Navy chevrons and sleeve hash marks. It was once a sign of good conduct. That no longer applies. Now gold is a participation prize, no matter if the sailor participated half-azzed and in trouble, or if they excelled. Failure to reward the...

I do! It means Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da! Something about a lady in New Orleans made of chocolate marmalade.

That's okay, I never heard it before Boomer 104.1 in Missoula, MT started saying it! But I like it! I couldn't stand what they used to call Heavy Metal while I was in high school, like Led Zeppelin. I've grown to like quite a few oldies heavy metal music today. I was a huge fan of softer...

I flunked French in 7th grade. But I knew a girl in 7th grade who taught me French with one kiss, and it scared me.

Boomer music is everything most baby boomers listened to on the radio. 60's and 70's is boomer music. Pink Floid is boomer music. Led Zeppelin is boomer music. The Beetles, Ozzy, Mamas & Papas, Richie Havens, The Doors, Circle, Animals, Rolling Stones, Zombies, Blue Oyster Cult...all boomer...

I did not studder or stutter.

Found another great radio station, but unfortunately it's in Missoula, MT. It's made just for baby boomers like me. The station is called "Boomer 104.1." Nothing but boomer tunes! NOBODY makes music as great today as boomer music was back then. I've talked to many youths who agree. They hear...

I hear you. When I'm 100% pain-free, I'll know I'm not above ground.

I'll give you a thumb's up because you know French and I don't.

Remember when TVs were an expensive, luxury item? In the mid-70s, the Sony Trinitron was sort of the top dog color TV. I bought one from the Navy Exchange around 1977, and it set me back $400,00 if I recall. That was a buttload of money back then. Turntables, amps, speakers, all expensive and...

Anything over 70F and I'm sweating!

Sweet! I'll bet that shoots smooth as silk! Any failures in those 100 rounds? Recoil must be light as a feather.

You were supposed to duck and weave! I got kicked in the head while down once, so ducking and weaving didn't work for me. But I might have received a black scalp. Dude sucker-tackled me from behind at a full run. Fortunately, I have a thick Swedish skull. Got up after he dropped kicked my head...

Black guns are great. Mine all received their reparations.
