A big thank you to all of you for your service. I nearly enlisted to go to the nuclear engineering program in the navy, but a college football offer drew me away.
Anyway, here is my favorite photo of my grandpa during the Korean war. He is the guy in the center with his arms folded. He entered the service near the end of WW2 at 17. He ended up in the Philadelphia shipyard since he knew how to weld from the farm. The ship he served on during Korea was the ship he helped build while in Philly. He was a hell of a man, I learned a lot from him. Every year when I'm trimming venison for the grinder, I can still hear him telling me "That'll grind, throw it in."

I recommend they switch to a faster burning powder! I enjoyed this thread. Thank you to each of you for your service.

Id share mine but i don't think they qualify as "old military photos" being just 12 years ago. Lol

I’d say go for it. The last picture in my post was from one of my deployments last year.

Exactly, when I was on mermite or MRE duty I'd snag a case of it! Four becks to one entree and I'd have the option of where to go because everyone else was still plugged up!

Now that I think of it, MREs could help combat this TP hoarding/shortage

That wasn't the case in Vietnam! (case pun intended)

Once when I delivered cases of beer on ice, water, and C-rations to an artillery outpost on top of this isolated hill in the middle of Vietnam, a soldier jumped up on the skid of my flight-idling Huey and I thought he was gonna kiss me!
