    Vaccine, I've never get any vaccine.

    I have avoided flue shots. I have never had the flue but this covid virus shook my shyt. My wife, son and I have been shut down since March. I have been a hermit for several years now only going into town for essentials. Luckily we have some acreage to trundle around on. My son hacked...

    Retirement

    Congrats, When I was in the navy there were running jokes about career guys and referred to them as lifers. I am sure it is so in all the branches. I have people thank me for my service but it is the lifers that are the backbone of the military branches and the ones that should be thanked the...

    Interesting look at Traumatic Brain Injury

    I feel for the guy that had the car accident but think they should have found a real vet. While the people should be commended for their actions they were being fooled. Being a combat veteran and sustaining injury in the line of duty I have a great deal of respect for all veterans and empathy...

    Memorial Day 2020

    A very good post Solace. I often think about the kids I knew in high school that joined or were drafted with in a year of graduating in 1965. One was a very gentle you man named Danny that was killed in action. I always liked him and while we were never best buddies but he could have been. I...

I have been getting bills for co pay for my medication because it goes through the VA but my Doctor bills go through Tri West. I have been going to a local Dr. and Tri West has been paying the...

    Happy 4th of July Friends

    On this day 50 years ago my then girlfriend and I went to Newport beach with another couple that had good tans. The two of us were lily white and stayed in the sun all day and came home fried. My girlfriend got sick and nearly passed out. I wasn't in great shape either but had to tough it out...

    Vet choice and Mission act

    Anyone on the veteran's choice and are you having problems with the mission act. I have been on veterans choice for about three years and been told I am no longer on it. I have been trying to get through to find out what is going on and how to get reinstated. I have been calling the VA and...

    National Vietnam Veterans Day

    So the 29th was a special day for Vietnam vets? There were protest against Vietnam from early on but if you look close to when the more violent protest started, it was after Nixon pulled college deferments. The college kids went ballistic and that is when the protest escalated. I never felt...

    Welcome to Veterans' Highway!

    JohnBoy, you mentioned your dad was a mustang 0-5. From what I remember mustang meant someone that came up through the ranks from non-com to commissioned. Was that the case with your dad? When I traveled to art shows around the US I would often meet a man and his wife that sold at the shows...

    Welcome to Veterans' Highway!

    I have mentioned this before but think it is worth repeating. When I was in the navy the short timer rabble such as myself made jokes about career men. In retrospect I now realize it is people like your father that are the backbone of the military in all branches.

    WW1 trivia

    As we celebrate veterans day and the 100th anniversary of the WW1 armistice, few of the people that take time to actually reflect on what it is about beyond a three day weekend know that there was a six hour delay between the signing of the treaty and the actual end of the war. In those six...

    Ten most dangerous jobs in the U.S. Military.

    My respect to all that served and especially those serving now. In 1965-66 a bunch of young men got drafted right out of high school and like me some chose an alternate branch than the army. One kid I went to school with joined the air force and and became a para rescue. He was a funny happy guy...

    How long were you in the military quiz

    That is a load. I was in the navy, of course it would say four years...that's what I signed up for...however...I got an early out so it was 3 years 9 months. Would have been 3 years 8 months but I took an unauthorized 25 days vacation so it was tacked on sort of like snow days in school. I was...

    killed in action

    I cruise different forums as a way to pass the time and try to avoid reading actual news. Unfortunately I do see the headlines sometimes and read a bit. The subject of our fallen soldiers has been an issue that has gotten to me in light of the politicizing. One of the issues is a statement to...

    Combat vs Non combat

    My dad had a paperback with all of Maudlin's Willie and Joe cartoons. I used to poor over it and laugh at most of them even when I was too young to read and wouldn't understand most of them if I could've been able to read. My dad was in the 11th Calvary mechanized. He was one of the true...

    Welcome to Veterans' Highway!

    I joined the navy in Aug.1966 and got out Feb 1970 as a BT3. Only got busted once. I was 3 years 9 months on the USS Stoddard DD 566 and the last three months on the USS Providence DLG. Before you thank me for my service I have to tell you I went kicking and screaming. I got my draft notice and...
