Heal quickly and wholly.

WITH THE WORLD'S WORST HAIRCUT.

he taught me how to shoot. I don't think he would have a high opinion of all these gun humping wannabe heroes

congrats on that "final treatment" - all is good?

5 over 3 weeks and I think they saved the worst for the last 2. some would probably bail if these two were first. Get to check the PSA in a month and see how we did

keep us updated, we care

I am indeed a veteran though!

... two cancers. Because of your run in with peepaw, I gather you're not at the VA.

Who's the largest air force on the planet? USAF
Who's the second largest air force? USN.

We may be second but we got the flashier uniforms ... I mean, we try harder!
And unlike the Army, we don't have walk anywhere or jump out of a plane.

not at the VA but on 100% by virtue of the PACT Act, to be reviewed again as soon as I can get all my records to them.

My dad and older brother were a Seabees, dad spent his time on a PT boat base in New Guinea. I won the Agent Orange Prostate Cancer Lottery, he won the Malaria Lottery. And so it goes

... "blue water" and not "brown water" (PBR boats), they kept denying him. His job on the carriers? Cleaning and painting (which has it's own dangers) planes and helos used to deliver Agent Orange.

Finally a VA councilor told him to change his claim to asbestos caused cancer because there a lot of claims for Agent Orange, there was a big pile of money asbestos claims. He did and within weeks he was granted his claim. About six months later he died at peace - his widow was going to be taken cake care of.

I was a machinist mate. I worried about asbestos for a long time after I got out. And what did I get? Cancer. Suspected from second hand tobacco smoke.

I hope you're in Texas, the VA system here is highly rated and I think they've spent a million on me, easily.

it out w/ his squad aok. Thank God.

I would too, tune him out, thinking all along about stolen valor. I would told the idiot this too and tell him about my dad's service.

Some people just can't shut up when they need to. Respect those who did in fact, serve.

I'm kind of glad I felt like shit and didn't make a scene, not worth it

Korean Conflict, when China sent hordes of troops into what's now North Korea to save the losers in the northern part of Korea (what's now North Korea). General MacCarthur wanted to drop the bomb on China but Truman (another fine Missouri chap) said no, and asked McCarthy as a result, among other things, to resign.

Maybe he found the hat in the VA parking lot and put it on his head without reading it.

He didn't seem "all there"

- SP5 Bozo, Army, REMF

love the handle, miss the theatre

A "Korean War Vet" but was never in Korea?? That's insane. I'm an Afghanistan Vet and if someone wore an Afghanistan hat around me but had never served there, I'd be pissed af
