My Dad was stationed there during the 2nd World War; my son worked there as a UXO tech from 2004-2006, and is working there now.
Been by the Schofield Barracks. I would hate to be stationed there and getting run through the paces.
For paradise that would be hell. The mud, the humidity...
When I came home I wore the Tropic Lightning patch, it looks better than the 5th RCT patch.
I was shocked to see an old WWI picture of Marines wearing the Army 2nd Division patch, they were attached to the Army 2nd ID.
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
~ Today.... Partly cloudy this morning. A few snow showers developing during the afternoon. High 38F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 30%.
~Tonight....Scattered flurries and snow showers. Low 26F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 30%.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this will be a quick hello and then I'm moving into lurker mode.
I still have a lot of work to catch up on.
I'll have my pinger on and will get back as soon as I can.
Now, off to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember Ill be watching!
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
