My back was too messed up for the military though I was a machnists for the country's biggest helicopter company (Sikorsky's) for 9 years. My brother served on the USS Mt. Whitney, though (and also served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam, including the Tet Offensive!!) The USS Kitty Hawk, America's pride at sea!! She's a beauty, alive and kicking.Not registered Go here and click register to join the Digital Digest Forums

I did most off my sailing in Long Island Sound. A lot of lake sailing (does that count?) I flew small planes for a few years but I had a spinal nerve stimulator that is connected to the base of my skull for pain management that I was concerned would affect my medical status for my flight medical so I let it go. I'am am 48 but I feel like I'm 70, so you whippersnappers better respect you elders, dagnabit!! My brother had his leg nearly blow off during the TET and the marine corps sent a marine is dress blues who mistakenly notified my mother that my brother was killed. I was around 9 years old (I answered the door), I grabbed the telegram and said "Mom, he's wounded, not dead". I thought she was going yo kill that marine but he was crying too, I think he assumed the worse, so to me Vietnam sucked. My brother has a great affinity for the Vietnam people. He is one of their great supporters.Last edited by toomanycats; 25 Aug 2006, 01:40 AM.Comment
