When was the last time you had your eyes checked?

Actually tom,now that you've mentioned that. at 52 i have 20/10
vision.

However I am a bit color blind. In fact it kept me out of the Marines.

Army didn't mind, though.
=========================

Between you, Dick, Tom, BAR and a couple of others I think we have all
Armed
Forces services present here.

Thanks for serving.

BTW: *My son is having a blast on Okinawa.

It's good he's getting it out of the way first rather than later. From
what I've heard, it's a lot of fun when you are younger and fresh out
of boot.

Used to be being stationed on Okinawa was like being in the Pirate
Navy with Pirate Marines. *:)

Or so I've been told. *Don't know if it's the same way today.

My brother was a spook in the Navy stationed on Okinawa.
Hasn't walked correctly since.

A trusted friend of mine was an army spook. had crypto clearance and
all. Had been stationed in Hawaii, Japan, several places around the
far east. CO was wondering what he was doing one night, he said
"playing chess"

"Who with? "

"The Russians"

"Where they at?"

Oh, a sub, about 3 miles off shore"

I was marveld at his candidness then he told me. "What are they going
to do? They're about as bored as I was, so... we played chess!

..besides, they couldn't do anything to us that we couldn't do the
them first....so? we played chess!"

Rob and team were scrambling to recode computers when the Pueblo was
captured.

Like a patriotic spook, that's about all he'd ever say.
