Some guys took stuff overseas, most guys brought back little more than weapons on the return trip. *sigh* When I was over, personally owned weapons was one of the big 'no-nos'.<BR/><BR/>Abwf: Ha! Yup...<BR/><BR/>Old NFO: I got so many bags, it's gotta be in there somewhere... Then again, I have at least one package floating around somewhere that never made it back.<BR/><BR/>Karla: 'Salty' dogs, gotta love 'em.

He has the habit of writing his notes in pen as a border to the tat. If you don't look close, they blend right in, and he never loses them (though he has showered off a few *G*)Karla (ThreadBndr)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15069952972112949772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228565287781450038.post-43701006639892618522008-10-28T20:17:00.000-05:002008-10-28T20:17:00.000-05:00So.... did you find the holster? :-)Talking about ...So.... did you find the holster? :-)<BR/><BR/>Talking about lost and found- I was looking for something a few months ago and found an old sea bag (old enough to only have one strap), inside were a pair of gaberdine WESTPAC dress whites, a kerchef still rolled and tied (with a roll of dimes in it)... I had "lost" that seabag 30+ years ago!

He (and others) tossed the pistols over the side...so I NEVER got MY hands on it.<BR/>They didn't check for "contraband" or gov't issued sidearms.<BR/><BR/>Lesson learned...never listen to anyone w/ a paper a**hole.<BR/>AT least some fish got to look at it...LOL.<BR/><BR/>Carry On.<BR/><BR/>B.G.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228565287781450038.post-55378189070969389162008-10-28T11:11:00.000-05:002008-10-28T11:11:00.000-05:00Rooting through your old gear...When I got out of ...Rooting through your old gear...<BR/><BR/>When I got out of the Air Force, more years ago than I'd like to remember, I put all my uniforms, boots, various gear in my duffle bag so I'd be able to keep it all together.<BR/><BR/>I few years ago, for a Vet meeting, I tried to find the bag and get my ribbons, wings and insignia. I couldn't find it. My wife and I have moved five times in the years since I left active duty. Somewhere, sometime, the bag was lost.<BR/><BR/>Root through that bag and get all those items that you want to keep. Put them in a safety deposit box or some other secure location.<BR/><BR/>You'll never regret it.Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.com
