First Case

[Subdeacon Joe]

Space Forces stolen valor

 

[Major BS Walker Regulator]

That's funny, he doesn't look North Korean.

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Was it a deliberate spoof?

 

with the red tunic he must be volunteering for first in space burial?

 

 

 

[Pat Riot]

This guy is a  real piece of work. Those gloves aren't part of his issued uniform. Unsatisfactory!

[Smuteye John SASS#24774]

Let's see what happens when he walks into a bar full of Klingons dressed like that.

[Badlands Bob #61228]

He probably thinks we dress funny on the weekends too.

[Perro Del Diablo]

I hope the VA has properly processed his retirement benefits to reflect such honor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dousch

[Father Kit Cool Gun Garth]

Just trying to make sense of the duplicity in his display of medals.

Quote

 

Tex Jarman looked at him understandingly. “Your folks always worry, don’t they? I fooled mine—

packed my phone in my bag.” The slidewalk swung in a wide curve preparatory to heading back; they

stepped off with the crowd, in front of Hayworth Hall. Tex paused to read the inscription over the great

doorway. “Quis custodi—What does it say, Matt?”

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes. That’s Latin for: Who will watch the guardians?”

“You read Latin, Matt?”

“No, I just remember that bit from a book about the Patrol.”

The rotunda of Hayworth Hall was enormous and seemed even larger, for, despite brilliant lighting at

the floor level, the domed ceiling gave back no reflection at all; it was midnight black—black and

studded with stars. Familiar stars—blazing Orion faced the tossing head of Taurus; the homely shape of

the Dipper balanced on its battered handle at north-northeast horizon; just south of overhead the Seven

Sisters shone.

The illusion of being outdoors at night was most persuasive. The lighted walls and floor at the level at

which people walked and talked and hurried seemed no more than a little band of light, a circle of

warmth and comfort, against the awful depth of space, like prairie schooners drawn up for the night

under a sharp desert sky

The first manned rocket. The SS Kilroy Was Here.

 

Named after Admiral"Bull" Kilroy. "He was a flying admiral."

Legend has it that at one of the conferences between Roosevelt,  Churchill and Stalin, ol' Joe had a private bathroom in the facilities built for the summit.  When he left the toilet after using it for the first time, he is reported to have asked an aide, "Who is Kilroy?"
