Picture of grandpa in ww 2 in the pacific

Enemy air craft!! He asked my father and uncle not to join the infantry when the draft was going on in the 60's.. I guess the whole ww 2 thing was tough. I've been pretty lucky I didn't have to fight any wars and I'm 44. Looks more and more everyday like my 15 year old might have to go. If they don't stop playing around. We all know trumps kids and grand kids will never see battle.

Cool ass pics guys.  I love these old photos.  This should be it's own thread.

Here's my old man and one of his teams in Vietnam in 66.  Two KIA and an MIA...and my dad.  Whew!  I almost didn't make it. :lmao:

So the hat thief is pop?

No....the hat thief is/was MIA.  My dads got all kinds of "parting gifts" too though.  Even kept an ear....the freak!  It looks like a little burnt potato chip. :lol:

Nicest guy in the world.  And the only man that scares the shit out of me.  Still does and he's in his mid 70's!  He was full of all kinds of words of wisdom, like "Punching somebody in the nose is easy, the real trick is to get them to apologize to you for having to do it." :lmao: 

Still...not sure how I'm all fucked up. :dunno:

Gonna call that old fucker tomorrow. :bc:

Shit man.  Sorry to hear that.  How come I didn't know that?  I thought we were friends?  I'm reporting you to HSR for friendship fraud.  Turn in your gun and hammer in the morning.  Or, fuck everybody up and give them to Tommy. :lol:

Do you even work there anymore ,? :lol:. . If we handed Tommy that power again, the site would be erased in weeks.  Fucker bans anything that moves .

Yeah.  But their new app sucks and it is tedious on my phone.  I pop in almost daily just to do a quick look.  It's not the same since they blew it up with the password reset.  I think a lot of old members came back with different names so it's hard to tell who anybody is now.  Sucks.

Yeah, I like it here.  Easy to work from my phone and the "no rules" thing cracks me the fuck up.  Some really creative name calling and personal threats in here....and not just from me either!

:lol:

I went back and forth a bit with Chris about it the other day.  He doesn't post but likes to come in here and see the action.  It still make me laugh.  Too bad some of these idiots had the CE shut down over there.

Yeah.  Fucking Thunderdome to the maximum here.  But it still can get rough over in the GDF...here it's just politically based, there it's brand bashing.  But if you can hang over there without getting your feelings hurt, this place is the next level I guess.  I don't have feelings though so IDGAF!

I'm missing a box that has thousands of pics in it. Don't know if it's at my parents, or still packed up in the basement from when we moved. 

 

They're with your DD214 :lol:
