Blue Raider Bob Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 On 12/12/2022 at 2:05 PM, Blue Raider Bob said: Just found out that the Blue Angels are returning to Smyrna TN AFB in Spring of 2023. Last time they were here the show was cancelled due to the loss of Captain Jeff Kuss USMC who tragically died during a practice session when he came up short on a loop and hit the ground. God Bless Jeff and all you other vets that were willing to sacrifice all for me and mine. That is an gift I can never repay! Can't wait to get my tickets! This is the Captain Jeff Kuss Memorial in Smyrna Tennessee. The Blue Angels will be in the Smyrna Air Show this weekend! There will also be a F4U Corsair, and a P-51 as well as other performers. Can't wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooga0341 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I'm a Marine. I served from 1995-2007. MOS 0341. I was stationed mostly within 2nd MAR DIV. I tried to do 20, but was medically retired in 2007. Started kayak fishing in 2009 as I needed a new hobby, and haven't stopped since. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutNRun Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Thank you for your service to all who posted. Your sacrifices are appreciated. All 3 of my brothers served, with the youngest in Desert Storm. I smoked the asvab and passed the physical, except for the hearing part. They thought the machine was screwed up and recalibrated it. I went back and ran through the test again. It turns out I really do have the hearing of an 80 year old man and they wouldn't take me. Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_Vue's Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Is there any information or website out there to locate a person? Specifically my brother. Our parents divorced and my dad and I are having a hard time trying to find him in the Navy. That was the last time I heard him going too.

Smirak Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 US Army 93-04. USAF 05-14. Served a few combat tours overseas. Screwed up mentally and physically now and have been retired/disabled for about 3 years now. 100% service connected disabled through the VA and disabled according to the SS Administration. When people thank me for my service, I’ve tried to respond in a way that’s more than just “thank you.” A good one I heard recently was “my honor”. I think I’m gonna start using that now. As an aside, please, please, please…if you see a Vietnam vet, please tell them welcome home. They were screwed so badly that they had to change into civilian clothes before coming back into the US. One vet said to me one day “you too” to which I replied “thank you, but we were given all of your welcome homes” 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButchA Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Retired US Coast Guard, Yeoman First Class (E-6). I was one of the many unfortunate souls back in the late 90's who tried and tried to make Chief (E-7), but ended up saying "See ya!" and retired anyway as an E-6. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirak Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Not hijacking this thread - if you are a combat wounded vet and are interested in learning hand tool woodworking, please dm me for more information. I know a lot of my brothers/sisters on here are disabled vets (like me), so I want to show the love. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
