12 years ago today I was in the Red Sea onboard USS Briscoe DD977 and....

I was prepping my launcher and firing Tomahawks on those cocksuckers in Sudan for the embassy bombings.

I was able to press the launch button for "Lucky" #7 bird to fly.

Some tanker was in the direct flight path of the Tomahawks, and kept radioing to us "Please Ammedican Warship, stop firing myssiels at us".
We never responded and kept on firing.[M2]

Actual launch looking Forward

You can always tell a Marine, just use small words. Pictures in crayon help too...

Twenty-five years ago today I left home and went to Lackland Air Force Base, TX for USAF Basic Training.

Was sick all through Basic and didn't find out until my fourth week that it was because I had Mono-nucleosis. Fun for all.

I'd go back and re-live that time of my life in a heartbeat.

You dont realize how much fun it was until you have to get a real job, man my life sucks I wish they would let me back in! [Bang] Now I go to work, deal with assholes, then I leave the office and have to deal with stupid friggen idiots, but I have to be nice to the friggen idiots. To a point, then I tell them GFY and I leave.

Great pics!!!
