Just wanted to say thank you to all the old salty hard dicks on here that blazed the trail long before I was even born
 
Served 31 years 7 months 3 days, now retired, if you wish I can get it down to hours and minutes if you wish. 3 Days shy of 180 days overseas duty, time in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. If asked I would go back today, the most frightful time, twice when the plane landed and when it took off the runway. You really didn't know if someone was pointing a launcher at you or not! What I missed over there, GREEN, green grass, green tress, green crops. Plenty of camel toe to look at, working toilets, at the best scarce. A young pic of me, I still had some hair left...the days.
