Hate gator meat it’s as chewy as they look. Wouldn’t bother me if we got rid of all gators on US soil.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I wonder where my spark plugs went... Did he find my V-12 engine? 😀

Perhaps a pair of nice shoes, or a designer handbag, made of Alligator leather might make his wife a little happier.
Did my Basic at Ft. Jackson in 83, my barracks were called “old Hollywood” because of the newer barracks “new Hollywood “ on post. I guess they were “Hollywood “ to you, better than the metal dome huts or old wooden barracks of the past.
Moral of the story is apparently to not leave your hunting dog in a small car near the swamp.
Unless the DI was SSgt. Matthew McKeon.
“And that’s what they always figured is the dogs got eaten by the gators,”
I must be losing it. When I first started reading the article, I was thinking “dog tags” were MILITARY dog tags. I never thought of DOG dog tags.
Perfect.
Chomp!
That’s a disgusting picture. Ketchup on a hot dog, really?!?!
***“So I’m rife with alligators down there,” he said. ***
And fifty two years ago there was weeping and wailing that the alligators were going extinct because of poachers.
In’72 I made a number of trips to Jackson as a tech rep working on the printing equipment. Ten years earlier I had been there for a Navy induction physical.
Those tags, both military and for canines were stamped out on a Graphotype machine, they came in different versions from one you could pick up and carry to others that needed two strong men to lift one. They were made by a company called Addressograph-Multigraph which was known later as AM International. I worked for the company at one time.
Thanks for the info. When I was a military brat (many years ago) the dog tags were metal ones on a chain. Nowadays I believe they have a rubber band around the edge. Yes?
I have no idea about current dog tags, mine were issued in ‘62 and yes, they were all metal and on a chain to be worn around the neck.
Both my brothers, our mother and I were all issued dog tags when Dad got transferred overseas in 1954. I recently discovered them in my folks’ dresser drawer and I had totally forgotten about them. Pretty cool.
