We were married on the weekend of Woodstock so we celebrated our 25th anniversary with a 60s party with my squadron mates at Shaw AFB, Aug 1994. I'm wearing one of my old jungle jackets. Much of the background of this one has been cropped and painted out to "protect the guilty."

USMCRECON Posted June 14, 2011 Share #13 Posted June 14, 2011 No, he included retirees as well. The rest of us are unimportant. Why would you say that? I'm sure there was no intent to disparage forum members who haven't served in the uniformed services. It's simply a matter of subject matter. If someone created a post calling for members to post their 1899-dated Coast Guard uniforms. Some people have them and would post. Others don't have any and couldn't participate. In that example, I don't have any and wouldn't be able to participate in the particular thread but I wouldn't get my feelings hurt about it.

seanmc1114 Posted June 14, 2011 Share #15 Posted June 14, 2011 Change gears again; as an AF officer, Keesler AFB about 1981-82 I lived in Gulfport, MS back then and went to see the Thunderbirds around that same time. I was probably at Keesler that day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what 67rally meant was that the thread called for the uniforms of people active and retired. It didn't call for those who had served at one time but were no longer on active duty nor retired (like me in 16 days!) :thumbsup: Technically, I could post my uniforms for only two more weeks, but would be uneligible to post them after 30 June since that's not what he asked for.

THAT was the comment he was making... I think I got that. Since I am retired, I think my pictures of the uniforms I wore qualify. I just happened to be wearing them when the pictures were taken. Well, maybe the police one is stretching it a bit and the 60s party one was supposed to be a little comic relief. Moderators can feel free remove those (or all ofthe) picture if they don't think they fit the subject. :think: The point I was making in my post above was that participation in some threads is self-limiting by virtue of the particular subject matter and forum members to which the particular subject does not apply should not feel slighted in any way by that. I dunno, I guess at the time I took it as a serious comment from a forum member feeling slighted. In looking back I see the laughing emoticon that I missed earlier so I now assume the comment I referred to was made in jest. I just didn't want anyone to feel they were being deliberately slighted because they did not serve in the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted June 23, 2011 Share #25 Posted June 23, 2011 I like the one with the M-60, its was very clever and creative how you fashioned your boonie cover to resemble a campaigne hat. Very eye catching. Where and when where you in boot camp ? my cousin went in and was at boot camp in 66. I really didn't have to do much to shape that particular cover; it was made in that shape. All I had to do was constantly push in the four dents on the top. It was very soft material and it didn't hold the indentations all that well. Another of my Recon Marine buddies actually wore an old campaign hat as his bush cover. His campaign cover actually gave me the inspiration to have mine made by the local "indiginous person" shop on our combat base. I've posted a close-up picture of him in that cover elsewhere on the forum but here's one taken before one of my first couple patrols (when I was still carrying the M-79 and was wearing my first bush cover). You can see "Gertie" on the right with his campaign cover/EGA. I went to boot camp at MCRD San Diego in 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
