I had taps on all my shoes to stop heel wear. Back when they repaired soles!
Veterans...Get the hell in here now!

I could have used that. The biggest thing I remember from boot camp was them yelling, "Larry, got in step."

The Marines trolled the Navy on Instagram and it was awesome
The Navy posted a photo of the CO of the USS John McCain firing a rifle with a backward optic and is getting torn to shreds on the internet.

I'm not much of a chess player - backgammon is my thing.
I remember being in NYC for a military school & playing the sharks in central park. I went like 20 - 1 on several opponents. Those guys were really good too.

Honoring Our Heroes: Naval Special Warfare Veterans’ Honor Flight Journey to DC
SAN DIEGO – Ninety Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Vietnam War veterans and their accompanying “guardians” flew to Washington D.C. for Honor Flight San Diego’s (HFSD) “Tour of Honor,” April 26-28.
Heh, thought I'd pass this along.
Veterans can get a free lifetime pass to national parks. I was in Death Valley last weekend and the Park Ranger there told me about it. Check it out at this link. I filled out the form (uploaded a copy of my DD214) and got it in the mail today.
PS I was an EM and NCO for three years in the 82nd then Benning School for Boys and three years as an officer so I get a chuckle out of folks ragging on officers.
My take on it - there's plenty of stupid to go around but it is a lot harder to work around a lousy officer than a lousy NCO. No argument from me on that.
