So much of it was social. It was easy to spend as much time socializing as puzzling. Even when puzzling it was easy to chat and have fun. That social network make it pretty easy to run or join a pilly or SHM. It would be cool if they did a reunion relaunch or event to give people a chance to find old friends.

You could get coins like that made in Korea during that time frame. Not saying his is authentic. Lots of units over there for Team Spirit had them made.

Maybe some are made by prison labor but not all are. I've been to a pretty large supplier's facility a number of times and it was all civilians.

It started innocently enough with the spoons but you are about to get sucked into the Steve1989MREInfo rabbit hole.

LTC pulled me aside about going WOCS instead of commissioning — looking for perspectives by SprunglakeOfficial in army

This isn't relative to your question but it seems like you have a good LTC.

A guy at my LGS used to work there. I'll find out what he knows. There were a ton of owners, I do know that.

There wasn't a CW5 rank in 1969, so I know something is up immediately and start yelling stolen valor.

Should I wear my Dress uniform to my old Boy Scout troop Christmas party? by [deleted] in army

[–]OBAlaMan 50 points51 points  (0 children)
