I wonder why I moved away from hurricane alley, always hated the hot sticky days/weeks without electricity following a storm. Well we had a hell of a really cool storm come through on Friday and wham! the infrastructure is shot to hell and just now got power back on, it sucks that its the hottest stickiest June in memory. Ahhh well, at least now I have AC again, guess its time to walk next door to the house and chuck all the stuff out of the freezer into the ol burn pit.

Negra Modello Especial tastes almost like San Miguel. Just missing a bit of the formaldhyde bouquet. That is all.

As a widow, not sure how to expose a fake navy seal, collecting money from many war widows and the general public. His name is Randal Reed DOB 1956 of San Luis Obispo, CA uses a internet site with his friend who started it named Karen Velie, they have done many fake and misleading phony stories. The most recent was " Veteran Barred from Services" she figured she and he could generate lots of donations if they did this fake story. Saying Randal Reed born in 1956 in San Luis Obispo, CA joined the Navy Seals, earned the Navy Cross, Purple Heart, and was a highly decorated Navy Seal. All is a lie and fake he is a x-con not a veteran at all, they used this fake story and other…

7 years after I retired and now I'm diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. After checking some of my old medical records looks like my blood sugar was in the norm during my time in so now don't think I'll get anything from the VA for this new diagnosis. What are others experience with post retirement changes in their medical status? Funny but if I had been in VN it would be automatic.

What I finally did, was meet (in person), one of the guys on this forum. I am very happy our meeting turned out the way I expected. I met one of our regulars --Chris Schutz--(tinwhistle) this weekend and my wife and I spent some very enjoyable hours with Chris and his wife Mary. We did some touring the area in rain, snow, & sunshine and visited and had a good time. Chris and I got to tell each other our old war stories and what has happened over the years. I know that if I would have known him while in the USAF, we would have been good friends. I think that would be the way with a lot of us on the forum! We all have something in common. The C-130 Hercules!!!!! …

The one piece I did not like to use was the LOX Cart something about the LOX and oil not liking each other. One other thing is ground pressure check on the plane. I could just see that plane blowing to bit's.

OK guys, I hate to show my ignorance, but this is really bugging me. What is E FLT? I was at CCK in 1966 and I realize that was pretty early in the game, but I don't recall anything called E Flt. Help??

YES!! ANOTHER PHONY EXPOSED!! This guy is the current owner of a small coffee shop. I used to visit this shop after my morning runs, when it was the previous owner. I gave the shop a try after ownership changed hands and eventually I stopped going because it seemed as if every time I went when it was this guy, he would try to talk about his service days and Navy SEAL blah blah blah... Growing up in the PI, and those of you who were in the PI, we all knew people who would "slip into the jungle". You just knew them, and what they did. They rarely if ever talked about what they did, when they did, they talked about it as if it was just any other ordinary job. The only …

Found an excellent shooting range here, probably the best range I have seen in a long time. Its run by the conservation folks, its public and FREE to use (thank God I get something for all these taxes here in IN). It was a nice day, warmed up and was about 33 or 34 and sunny and we had a great time!!

To all of you on the board belated Merry Christmas, Hannaka, Qwanza, and New Year wishes from the House of Gizzard. My computer took some kind of fit,around December 14, probably associated with our lousy power service in this area,and I have been totally unconnected. I am now functioning on an old laptop borrowed from my daughter. This past year had some real bumps in it for me, but I also gained a bunch of new brothers, on this site. What a great honor for me and to spend such a great time with the 316th guys last summer, well I can't describe that at all. My wife is having surgery on her foot tomorrow, a very painful procedure at that. She will be pretty muc…

I just want to take this moment to wish all of you guys a Happy Thanksgiving ! This is a time that I like to share with my family, and it seems to me that you guys on this forum are getting to be part of my family! Man I hate getting mushy like that, but it seems to me like we are all starting to know each other so it seems like the right thing to do!! So, again, Happy Thanksgiving you "Herky Lurkeys" (that's what Sparks wife calls us) Ken

I'm trying to find anyone, that was in the 774 TAS during 1971 and 1972, that has a copy of Air Crew "BLANKET FLYING ORDERS" for SEA, that has my name on it and the rest of the Squadron's name on it too, just for a keep-sake item. Would like to have a copy e mailed to me. Actually, wouldn't mind hearing from anyone I was stationed with over at Clark AB. Would like to hear from anyone, on the Air Crew, the day I fell out of the back of crew transport pick-up, at Cam Rahn Bay AB, RVN. I was the FE.

hey , guys, the local paper is gonna run this in their Saturday TV guide section supposedly from that bastion of historical information, accuracy, and research History Channel. They claim it to be of a young marine just off the boat at DaNang in 65. Some things about it puzzle me, I may be off on this stuff, so let me know. First, his name tag, has both first initials and last name, and is on the left side of his blouse. My recollection is that they were on the right, last name only. Number two, his helmet cover has writing on it which probably didn't happen on your first day on the beach. His hair looks way too long, and he has no rank insignia visible. And, tinwhistle…
