Workin' on it slow but sure.

Thanks Joe. Actually, I'm just getting over the flu. At least I think I'm getting over it. Sure feel a lot better than I did the past several days.
I managed to convince them (FB) that they screwed up and I got an apology and my account back, which included replacing all my comments from all the years I have been on there. Had to go through an extensive security screening first though, which I wasn't too happy about. At least I got all my stuff back.
Hope things are going well with you, brother. Toujours Pret!

- Yeah, they banned me for life and wiped out everything I have ever posted, and I haven't got a damn clue why. Their only explanation was that I violated their community standards and for safety and security reasons they couldn't/wouldn't tell me why. Just kept telling me to read the terms of use agreement, which is about 100 pages long.

I always told everyone I would never make it to 21. The C-15 explosion was two days before my 21st birthday. Had numerous brushes with death before and after, yet here I am. Been 21 three times now and working on a fourth. Probably not going to make it, but it has been a thrill trying.
A get together next September sounds great. I'm about 35 minutes south of the airport. I don't do Seattle unless I am flying in or out, or the occasional Seahawk game. Wife came home with 4 free front row tickets for last weeks game with the Rams on the 23 yard line right at the end of the Seahawk bench next to the replay booth.

Happy birthday Joe enjoy your day.

My pleasure, Joe. I think we should have gotten danger pay regardless. We were definitely on the edge of some scary crap!
- At 1:53am on July 3, 2017,
Nope, no danger pay, Joe. In fact, there were a lot of times I didn't get basic pay.
I tried to join the VFW and got turned down flat. No Cold War vets allowed. A good friend of my brother's was the president of the local chapter too. He hooked me up with their sergeant-at-arms who said he could "back door" my membership and I told him no thanks. I've talked to a couple guys here at Dragoon Base who got into their local chapters though through their border duty. Just can't remember who it was.

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
