  1. Water too. I remember when they made me the duty gunner for the motor whaleboats. My job was to use an M14 to keep sharks away from anyone in the water. I asked where I should aim to kill the sharks and the gunnery chief said “You don’t aim at the sharks. You shoot at the water to get the shark to chase your bullets and not the man in the water. Besides, 7.62 loses all its power within the first 4 or 5 feet of water so you’d probably just pi** the shark off by shooting at it.” Luckily I never had to deal with sharks when men were in the water.
  2. Who’s the sadist that put that on a plate? I went to an ice cream shop down the road and they did that. They put a hot fudge Sunday on a plate and sat it down in front of me. I looked at the waitress and asked when the next round of drug testing is to be held. I requested and got a bowl. Idiots!
  3. Perhaps it’s just me, but I don’t participate in Veteran’s Day free-bees and discounts. I got my haircut Saturday and as my barber was walking with me up to the register she said “I am going to give you a Veteran’s discount card so you can get a free haircut the next time you come in.” I thanked her but told her I don’t do that. She said “My husband doesn’t either. It must be a Marine Corps and Navy thing. Why is that?” ”I don’t know. I just never felt comfortable with taking free stuff and discounts just because I served in the military. I will take a veteran’s discount at Lowe’s and Hone Depot because their prices are too high, but other than that I don’t participate.” Anyone else not participate in these things?
  4. @Buckshot Bear I remember talking with Vietnam vets that met up and worked with Aussies in Vietnam. I had forgotten about that until you made the post regarding Private Norden.
  5. How my wife and I keep crunchy taco shells somewhat together. We melt cheese into the meat so it’s a bit gooey. We also heat up the shells so the meat and cheese kind of stick to the shells. We still add more shredded cheese with the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. They still crumble a little but you can at least still hang on to it as you eat them.
  6. The Navy helped us choose. We had planned on being married on March 22nd. My wife had everything set up, but for some reason the Navy decided to keep me at Great Lakes a while longer. So, everything got moved to April 12th and I only had a couple of days before wedding. We were married. Our “Honeymoon” was one night in a Quality Inn motel and the next day we flew to Minnesota so I could start “C” school on Monday for Mk 26 GMLS (guided missile launching systems) I was 19. My wife was 20. We have had a 44 year honeymoon.
  7. Soft or hard are “Authentic”. I like tacos either way. I prefer corn tortillas over the flour ones for soft tacos. I love the smell of warm corn tortillas.
  8. Is that a snake in the Eagle’s talons?
  9. Yes. It does actually get to freezing temps occasionally in LA and it rains often in the winter.
