You kids and your hos. LOL

Here's true motivation.


When Fin Doherty was 6 years old, his brother was killed in action in Afghanistan as a British paratrooper.

Young Fin decided he wanted to become a paratrooper and carry on his brother's career.

Yesterday, Fin graduated from paratrooper training and was awarded the coveted beret. But it wasn't just any beret. It's the beret his brother wore, and it was given to him by a Sergeant Major who had been in combat with his brother 11 years ago.

Full Story

because one “like“ isn’t enough...

I went from C-rations then way later on the the MREs. BTW, the c-rations that I ate when I got out the first time in 1979 were stamped with 1944/45 on the boxes!

I didn't get sick from eating any of them. On the other hand, I could look at an MRE now and puke my guts out.

Did they ever stop issuing these? I still have mine!

...so there I was, shot down behind enemy lines armed only with a P-38 and a bad attitude....
 
Hell, a local Policeman here left his duty gun in a shitter in the court house yrs ago, found by a stranger, he went on to be elected Sheriff of the county.

Turns out being a dipshit doesn’t preclude you from getting other dipshits to vote for you. Hell, I’d say there’s evidence that it’s an advantage.

I have been to Finland over 10 times in my life...had a great time, every time.

Refuse to go back though. There is No way I don't have kids running around over there.

Did that once...

...when I was about 12. First thought through my head? “I hope I don’t get caught.”, mostly because I’d be embarrassed. You make a mistake like that at his age, you may as well give up on learning new things and just pay people smarter than you to handle stuff.
 
First launch from Cape Canaveral, 1950

^^This is what Elon Musk’s test rocket looked like before it blew over in the wind at Boca Chica Beach near Brownsville TX.

This is after. They tipped it back upright, removed the damaged top and folded it over. Taped it with duct tape, and continue to use it for lift-off and landing practice and fuel testing. Science. By the way, that is actually how close you can drive to the rocket launch pad. I mean it is RIGHT there, by the road. We ask if there is any planned launch before we go fishing on the beach, Then if that changes, the Deputy comes roaring down the beach and gives everyone one hour to leave. Sucks. Also the wind blows the exhaust toward SPI Resort area.
