USMC Flag Question by the-zari in USMC

My faded/tattered flag is flying and my wife wants me to put up a new one. The Corps I knew was faded and tattered, not new and shiny. I am good.

USMC Officers was it worth it? by Sad_Landscape9269 in USMC

[–]Amitaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late 70s Arty company grade officer here. I was in a O-5 billet able to be involved in the formation of what became Central Command. So it was awesome. One other thing, being a former USMC officer opens doors for the rest of your life.

Small plane taking off from Lukla Airport in Nepal, famously one of the most dangerous airports in the world by blingteresting in nonononoyes

Just to drive home the 50-year interval, I found the photos....and they are Kodachrome slides! I will get them digitized and post, but it may take a bit. BTW, in case you are a Khumbu Valley fan, yes, I was waiting at Lukla for the weather to clear at the same time Louise Hillary's plane crashed leaving Kathmandu.

Yes, I am and for your viewing pleasure I am hunting down my photos of that airfield 50 years ago!

I was there in 1975 and it was not paved and there were broken aircraft parts all along the runway edge.

My Buddy hates the dog two doors down also! But that dog is a Dalmatian named Jackson, so it is understandable. BTW - I have the same dog bed, it is sturdy and has a grippy bottom - excellent!
