  1. Same guy, right? He was armed and unarmed at the same time.
  2. If I was the defense I'd be accidentally dropping Twinkies on the ground every time that big boy was talking.
  3. It is if you want to be.
  4. So the original image was altered. Does that about sum it up?
  5. Yeah, I guess they had different standards in combat. We always called them Army gloves. My sister sent me that picture this morning and it's the first time that I have ever seen it. After seeing his face and recovering from the dust in the room, I thought "Look at the old man wearing his Army gloves!"
  6. PM sent. I thought of another way to get service records.
  7. I posted this picture in the USMC Birthday thread, but it's also very appropriate here. A picture of my old man (far right) in Korea circa 1950. Marine Corps Sergeant, mortarman, and the reason for my joining the Corps. Good man with faults, and a great father. He passed way about 8 years ago and I miss him every day.
  8. It depends on the branch of service and the years. Your best bet is to probably start by getting the DD214. This page has some good links: https://nvf.org/how-to-get-a-copy-of-dd214/ Be warned that some records were lost in a flood or fire or something like that. I think it was St. Louis, but I really can't recall. I ended up having to go to Headquarters Marine Corps for my DD214 because of it.
  9. My dad (far right) in Korea, probably 1950. Sergeant in the Marine Corps, he was a mortarman and the reason that I joined the Corps. He died about 8 years ago. He was a man with his faults, but a fantastic father that made sure to spend time with me. He taught me more than I can possibly express here. Edited to add that we talked every Marine Corps Birthday after I got out of boot camp.
  10. But according to pinchy-zoomy, he fell down simply because he was light headed. I have no idea what the purpose was of the DA making that point.
  11. wow, he got hit in the head with a skateboard and became lightheaded. Holy shit.
  12. He does, however, know a shit ton about being a smug son of a bitch.
  13. It's weird, but I don't feel a day over 100.
  14. Been the bench coach for a few seasons. I think he was the 1st base coach at one point too. Been in the organization for a while. He only played minor league ball for a few seasons before they told him "you know, you'd probably be a better coach than a player". Here we are.
  15. Except for the fact that he's going to live with this the rest of his life. I can't imagine how I would handle that.
  16. Huh... I thought the bump was because it folded before any games were played.
  17. Where is @drifter379? I need more of this thread.
  18. Intentional or inadvertent, thank you. I needed a good laugh today.
  19. You can also head over to the Lincoln Memorial and other national landmarks. Check out Marine Barracks next time you're there. The evening parade is amazing.
  20. Something else to consider... You know that Dewitt and Mo would not have made this move without Wainwright and Yadi both signing off on it.
  21. I am hearing rumors that Shildt wanted Jeff Albert gone and Mo loves him some JA.
