Senior year of HS, I set up an appt with a navy recruiter. I wanted to be a dentist so I figured free school, just give them a decade or so of my life. Plus I'd be an officer. When my dad found out he flipped his shit. If I could do it all over again, I'd probably tell my dad to shove it up his ass.



Two guys I know have been best friends since grade school. After high school they agreed to join the Navy. They went to the recruiting office together. Skip filled out the paperwork and signed first. Rickey looked at him and said, "Sorry, man, I can't do this." They're still best friends to this day.

My grandfather was career military and from my Dar’s stories of his youth I had figured he had somehow avoided a combat tour. The colonel, as was his nickname within his family, was a doctor so it was semi believable. Off hand one day my dad mentions that his father walked with a limp for 60 odd years due to an injury sustained during the battle of the bulge. Apparently a little more front line than I thought. Dad did Vietnam and never talks much about it. Every now and again he’ll email a photo that someone from his LZ sent him with a simple comment of where, maybe a who and that they had died recently or how young they all were back than.

And yeah, the be all that you can be is a bit different than cyber war ads.

A belated thank you to all the veterans.

My dad was one of the rare occurrences as someone who was drafted out of college for the Vietnam War. He tested high enough for officer's training, but he thought it would require too long of service. He also played a mean trumpet, so they also said he could have been in the military band. But again, that was a 5-year service. So he instead decided he would go as a combat soldier as it was only for 2 years, and he fought on the front lines for over a year. During his time received three Purple Hearts at different times from wounds sustained from mortar, a grenade and eventually a bullet that was fired through another soldier's head into his torso. Still has fragments of it inside him to this date.

He's definitely lucky to be alive, and I am lucky to be here today. For that and many other reasons, I am always grateful to our current and former members of the military.

A heartfelt thank you to all who have served.

Except The Hawk.










Ok fine, even The Hawk.

Although, you're still a stinking pile of feces.

I have a similar story because I was drafted out of graduate school (Kent State). I also could have gone into officer training but the only two MOS available were infantry and artillery(forward observer) and didn't want the extra year of service. I became an 11C (mortar) but never fired a mortar in nam. I was a regular grunt 11B. I could have gone to sniper training in a school in nam but it would have once again required an additional year of service. I received one purple heart for an eye injury as a result of a rocket attack and two Bronze Stars, one for valor.

:salut: to both of you.

My father, an Air Force veteran, served proudly in SAC during The Korean Conflict. He always told me that if they would have let him out of SAC after his initial hitch, he would have careered it no question. He wanted to settle down and marry my mother. However, SAC was not very family friendly back then. He passed away a year ago this week. Happy Veteran's Day, Pops... my personal hero.
:salut:

The Hawk- Were you at Kent State at the time the National Guard rioted? Did you do your undergrad there? Did you play baseball there?

These are powerful photos. The top one is a British division prior to going to battle in WWI. The lower one is the same division after the war.

What's frightening is how many Americans were killed in the 16 or so months we were in World war I.
