I served my country on the front line - the front line- for thirty years. Not a couple on the front, followed by a couple decades in the rear with the gear. (or defended the front and got the fuck out) I had two brief sabbaticals from that service. One was recovering from a chest wound incurred in Cambodia. I got 3 years in the 1st Marine Brigade for that (Hawaii) . The 2nd was getting sent to college right after that for 3 more years.

Other than that, I stood a post in good and sometimes incredibly bad (no war stories, but I have 'em) places ans situations all over this planet, defending us. I'm a pure dick, but you need dicks like me to do it. you just do, even if you don't know it.

Thanks for putting up with me.

My wife had me blow-drying a chipmunk that had fallen into our pond but somehow got out and was shivvering to death on our sidewalk.

I was watching ESPN, & had no interest in this revelation when first informed.

I blow (Blew?) dried the little guy for 20 minutes solid. He survived. I was happy, but honestly laughing at what I had become. 🤣

And I can related Ben's reaction to being carried.. I will find a way.

That and I have a personal collection of destructed legs.. and tests like shooting the Kevlar wrapped one to see if it actually stopped the bullet. It did.. just a nick in the coloring and a upset doctor. [grin1]

Yes, but I learned his TACTICS, so there was a lesson in it for me. Initially, I thought I could dry him ALL OVER, but NO- He would scurry under our Wisteria tree if you approached him from the front-quarter-frontward. I learned quickly to only hit him from the rear flanks and rear-ward with the blow-dryer, thereby allowing a full 20 minute dwell-time in order to save his ass, at once incorporating Sun-Tzu principles with KUMBAYA shit learned from the SPCA and other commie save the animals wacko sources all-at-once.

Just like John Glenn, exploring new horzons for the Corps, lol

Much of the time I'm only messsin' with Nick, and he KNOWS I'm only fuckin' with him. I have even told some stories of the bravery I witnessed about those sailors while giving me a ride... And what Nick did in the NAVY- for God's sake-- He had stones, this I know. So, there you go.
