When was the last time you had your eyes checked?

Or have you been color blind your whole life? :)- Hide quoted text -

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.

Strange. When my brother, Special Forces, had completed two tours in
Vietnam, they wouldn't let him go back for another because the policy at
the time limited the tours to two.

So they sent him to Okinawa. From there he would go back to Nam for 90 days
TDY, and then back to Okie for a couple weeks. This pattern continued for
another year or so.

Wonder if they knew each other.
