Well folks?...whilst my parents were sort'in and digg'in through their walk-in closet?...they found these and brought them to me last weekend..and it brought back some fond memories of personal achievments long past..circa 1977...to wit?...
The icey cold stare of one of the worlds best freshly trained killers...
and my "mentors"...
oh the achievements!....
Then just when they had me all primed to pilage, plunder and kill?..they sent me to school. N.A.S. (Naval Air Station) Millington, TN to train to become an Egress and Evironmental Technician..Ejection seats, Canopy Jettison, Cabin Pressurization, Liquid & Gasous Oxygen Systems (including LOX convertors) and AC/Heating...
And some said i made quite the handsome Marine..namely Female navy airmen! LOL!
Hey Now! Don't laugh!...she was quite the catch for being a marine locked in the suck assigned to a naval training facility! LOL!
And after a short OJT stint at Pendelton?...working with a team of OV-10's that specialized in "Precision Insertion" of paratrooping Marine Recon Rangers?..I got permanently assigned to these guys...VMA-214...The Marines "Blacksheep Squadron".
