Sometimes I post about music you probably haven't heard. Hanging out, learning things; mostly history, military and politics. Always up for a cheeseburger or a taco. Making it OK to wear sunglasses in a pickup again. Retired Marine airplane guy.

I was a few years before you, Hupple. When I started in 3rd MAW in the mid 80s, Charlies were called UD's because they were the uniform of the day. You wore them on duty, the S shops wore them every day, meritorious promotion boards wore them, and we had pay day formations in them.

Hopefully everything goes ok at the hospital. Enjoy the movies.

I know, it's a guilty pleasure.

I don't know, I haven't even been drinking and I thought it was hilarious. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Same. 100 years is a long time to hold a grudge.

That's a good read. Thanks.

It was a sweet set up, and he was able to take advantage. Hell yeah

Underrated post right here.

Always educating us, Dan. Thanks.

Moose, you've got a lot of friends here pulling for you.

27.10.2025 21:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yep.

Yeah. Putting this into practice is pretty old, as we've been talking about. Lots of truck capabilities in this.

I believe this is correct.

I think this is right. If you're looking for an opinion, maybe something a guy his age would be familiar with. Axe body wash or something. I should have known if there were other options you would have thought of them.

Maybe. I've never lived in a NYC apartment, so my information is strictly from TV. Do you have a building superintendent, or a residents association that you can bring it up to?

Seems doable. The locomotives now are diesel engines that drive a generator, the actual locomotion is electric. ๐Ÿคท

Thanks for this. I care a little more about the East Wing because I think it's another representation of "fuck your laws, I do what I want" but agree that it shouldn't be what we focus on.

What's also crazy is I doubt most taxpayers are upset by it. Some people's identity is really wrapped up in the success of that program, even if they didn't go there. Same as Alabama.

This, but as a Marauder.
