17. Republicans voted down 10 vet benefit bills since 2009

yet the majority would be willing to die for the Republicans and despise the Dems. Somebody has to wake them up who's on their side.

[Elwood P Dowd]

19. Sad but true.

I run into this all the time. Vets and even active duty military who vote for someone to destroy their lives rather than someone who wants to help them. You can't get through to them. The Fox fake news and hate radio jocks have them totally brainwashed.

Of all the bases I was on, only Lackland is still open.

[MADem]

23. I was in the USN for decades.

It was fun, it was boring, it was a grind, it was an opportunity to make some real change, and it was on rare occasion terrifying.

I do like being an anonymous civilian now--more than I thought I would!

I have to say I've never seen a carrier turn that hard...ever. Not normal!
Was that during a shakedown cruise? I don't see any planes aboard.

[Rocket_Scientist65]

93. Yep.....sea trials

Just came out of a limited availability 6 month refit. High speed runs with rudders hard over....forward and reverse.....you should see the size of the wake left going full astern at 25 knots!

[denbot]

97. I'm not sure if it was the Nimitz, but had a nuc carrier blow by the DDG I was on at Flank speed

It was almost creepy how something that big could just f'ing get up and go.

As I recall we were on a RedEx around 80-81, AW declared a nuclear blast and we all went ass to the blast. My ship was at our max of 33 knots, and the carrier (Alpha Whisky) just flat out blew by us!

[ladyVet]

75. USAF 1977 - 1981

355th and 834 TAC Supply Squadrons. Was a buck sergeant when I got out; was up for an early promotion to staff sgt, but had to decline so my fundie ex wouldn't run off with my kids. I hate him for that still.

I don't have any pics on the computer, need to work on that for next time so y'all can look at my skinny little butt.

And in honor of my Daddy, who marched in our local parade today, in uniform: US Army, Korea, 1952-54, and many years of National Guard service before and after.
