Bullshit So Far

Impressive photo. Was this right before you hung the Kaiser?

P. S. My innane innate techie sense tells me that the previous post was spam.

Funny thing about hats. "Campaign" hats and "Smokey Bear" hats. They ain't the same.
A Campaign hat,OD, tilted slightly forward, on a Marine DI or a Tenn. State trooper give the impression of a formidable, hard-ass SOB. A Smokey Bear hat, light tan, scrunched down to the ears on a USPS Ranger is a different matter. Every time a PS Ranger wearing one I have to taser myself to keep from giggling.

..... Tbird, you crack me up....... but for what it is worth, the DI's call them "Smokey Bears" as well as best as I can remember.....

Hey now. Quit making fun of the Green and Grey Clusterfuck, even though they deserve it.

Used to piss me off that the mouth breathing public never figured out there was a difference between the interpretive division (my buddy Steve called them bug stuffers) and the LE guys, or what the home office called "Visitor Management and Resource Protection" rangers.

I had two flat hats, one straw and one felt. I wore each of them a total of one time. Both for newspaper pictures; both times budget-related park closures.

Offshore in a boat one needs no flat hat. Matter of fact I even opted out of the baseball headgear that my peers wore. But I had my Vuarnet Nautiluxes, by god.

I remember giving this one group a run through the wringer so badly (took one to jail and saw the rest in District Court)that one boy told me his Daddy was in the Dixie Mafia and I'd be seeing him later.

Rangers that wear guns can get it done, well most of them can. Those that have the pine cone belt hitched up to their navel and their ears folded down by the hat are most likely selling books at the gift shop.

I gotta tell you that the picture of you as a young marine made me jealous. I was in the AF and didn’t get drapes or carpet in MY barracks. It was communal bathrooms and shining floors for the first 4 years! But now that I think of it… I still have communal bathrooms (with a husband, five daughters and four cats) and I’m still doing the floors…. :o)
