Bump. I miss the guy (as always).
Like CHIEF, I was told that I was "too old" to come back into the Marines right after 9/11.
I told the recruiter to be more respectful of his elders, or I'd beat him with my cane :o)

I too called and asked but my current physical condition, 4 compression fractures and a bone spur the size of a golf ball on my spine made me realize I would be a greater threat to my team than any help I could provide short of manning a phone in a CONUS EOD control center .
Too many thin air PLF's and sudden stops so I'm relegated to easy days in civilian world now........ As any dog will do over time I checked the lenght of my chain like a bunch of other old troops. I have to stay in the yard now :o)
Stay Safe Poohbah
