26. Miz t. sez "It's already been plenty memorable, thanks." |
|
She (as well as I) survived my "fighter pilot" years. Never in combat. I was 'safely' ensconced in the air guard. Me and George**. :-(
But still... the strapping of that hog on my ass three or four times a week and hanging it as far over the edge as I could while still being able to pull it back. Night, weather (thunderstorms) air-to-air refuelings. Gunnery practice.
I believe there was also a fair amount of Scotch whiskey involved. Possibly some Martinis in there too. We called 'em, 'see-throughs'. Fightin' whiskey.
It was, indeed, another life. Somewhat fondly remembered, and (thankfully) survived. :-)

Or ON. I don't care. :-) Thanks, bud. I got a grill light with a built-in radio. Never seen the like and I can't wait to use it. I guess. What'll they think of next? :shrug:

43. Yes. 65 is the official age: |
|
You have to start wearing plaid Bermudas with Aloha shirts. Suspenders AND belt on the shorts. You should purchase all the gear at Wal-Mart.
Black nylon socks (rolled down below your ankles) and plastic gummy-bear sandals. A baseball cap with your former military branch's emblem on it. If you weren't in the military, your former company. Or a beer brewer, heavy equipment maker, pick-up truck manufacturer, etc.
You get the drift. :-)
