I am 83 years old. Was a builder of homes.apartment Projects, subdivision developer, for 50 years, retired in 2013. I served with the 7th Infantry Division in the Korean War Sep 1950=Oct 1951. Was all over that pennsula for 13 months from The Invasion of Inchon to Hysanjin on the Yaloi river on the border with Chinese Manchuria. After the war served as First Sergeant of the 71st Air Commando Squadron. We were flying C-119 "Flying Boxcars". They were converted to gunships and the squadron desognated 71st Special Operations Squadron and was sent to Vietnam for a year. I have put a URL to my air force page which tells a lot of my stories if you are interested click on the URL or copy and paste it in your address bar.

Welcome aboard most on here are conservative with a few liberals and even some trolls. The trolls have dropped off since the election is over and Hillary lost but some hanger on liberals still persist as if they have a snowballs chance in hell of changing anyone's opinion on here. Just enjoy and some you will have to ignore or treat as you wish but welcome aboard anyway. There are quite a few ex military if you can ever call them ex that is. Join in and have fun.

Ole Joe is partly right, we have the best equipped troops we have ever had, sad to say but Joe had little to do with that. Welcome to the board!!!

Welcome. You will find quite a few veterans on OPP. Other than that, you will find all kinds. You name it, we got it; right wing, left wing, and plain old wing nuts. You should have been here before the election to hear the Liberals crow. I think right now most are in their "safe spaces."

The left wings nuts have mostly take time off to get over losing.

If you use the "quote reply" option, your reply will automatically be directed to the person you are addressing. It took several days before someone pointed that out to me.
