Old Corps, Hard Corps

I'm not a fan of heights. I once climbed a mast to treat an injured sailor until we/they could figure out how to get him down. I was doing fine until three quarters up a Mensa member said, "Hey Doc, you need to put on a harness." I looked down and the CO and several of the crew were looking up...

That was a tough read. I feel the pain and concern. I agree @ConcernedParent with you on your son not becoming a chaplain for the wrong reasons. Life as a chaplain is not the military he envisions I would bet. Awesome folks as @Capt MJ said but they actually conduct church services. We have a...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said.

Coincidentally I was talking with one of our physics teachers today and he said only three percent of people use advanced math on the job.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I know one of the Guys' daughters and her husband. That has nothing to do with the best burger on the planet. Yes, world wide. No freezers in the restaurant. Always fresh. They cut the taters for more fries than you can eat. Don't be allergic to peanuts and walk in...

Sookie was 14 when she passed a few weeks ago. Out of the blue. Had been healthy her entire life. Her brother has diabetes so maybe she was sick and we didn't know.

The one hiding behind the vegetation . . .

I didn't get the math gene so had to think about that.

I noticed that the year my son was being recruited for football and we had tickets to all the home games. There were always a few reunion groups under a tent with plenty of fun and food. I coached high school baseball with a '66 grad, a gem of a man, and he was active in alumni activities...

Happy 105th birthday to CAPT Dale Reed, USN (Ret). CAPT Reed is the oldest living graduate of the United States Naval Academy (Class of 1942).

I like that .380

Field Artillery I believe.
