The real you

Going back in time, to early 1967, Pleikeu. Me with my new M16 w/ M 203 grenade launcher attached underneath. Heck of a combo.
Wish I still had it, LOL.

As for rotorheads, my 13 plus years was spent in and around helos. Loved them. I only left the Corps because I blew my knee out again. I worked on CH46s, CH53s, Hueys, and Cobras. I flew in the 46s, 53s, and Hueys. I wanted to stay in and log 30 plus years in Marine Corps green.

To be honest, that end of June pic was just before the heat wave... and the dental asssitant ripping the side of my mouth with the vacuum thingee. She was a bit rough, but I never really felt it. Her heavy hand caused a split in the corner of my mouth and a really nasty fever blister. I shaved the beard, so I could treat that, and cut down the sweating. But kept the mustache.

Great pics Jim!
Thanks for posting, and thank you for your service!

Me at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, Wyoming Standing beside a B model with Navy markings, but I was an Army helicopter driver.

Don’t have many pictures of myself hand but here are a few from this year. First one is probably my best side…… second is standing in what is called the Lenore Caves located in the lower coulee below the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State. These caves were used by Native Americans when they traveled south in the summer to gather fish and plants.

I don't have many pictures of myself, but here's one from five years ago. I've lost quite a lot of weight since.
The only other picture of me I have a political shirt on and I guess that would raise red flags.

The two things (other than family) I like the most....
