It’s like being in the service when it went from Carter to Reagan. Boy, did things change in a hurry!
Unless you were a Marine. LOL
I’m with ya. They were good times.
Off topic, I know, but I was just on the Ronald Reagan yesterday. My first time on an aircraft carrier, and I’m still in awe and want to go back. I’ve been reading up on Navy related stuff during work now. It was so awesome. I wish I could support her and the fleet somehow as a civilian. Sailors are also looking forward to the change from Bozo to Trump to improve the military. The Reagan museum room on the carrier was pretty damned cool. I got a couple caps for my sons and I to honor the ship.
I was in the Navy then.
It was a sea change.
The first law passed by Reagan and the Congress was a 13.4% military pay raise as part of the defense bill that had been held up by Dims.
I was USAF at the Pentagon when Reagan came in. Was like night & day. Security got real the day after Reagan was sworn in.
