The Military Feel Good Thread - Post anything

I miss being aboard ship. The sights, the smells, the people, and especially my job. This pic is of Old Ironsides taken last night. I did my CPO initiation inport Boston. Not on the Constitution but we were tied up at the Charlestown Navy Yard and we got an after hours tour. She's truly a national treasure and worth a visit if in the area.navy11.jpg

That should be holiday card art.
love that ship. Still in commission.
 
DS was commissioned Ensign aboard the USS Constitution. If you visit and are six ft or above don't stand up quickly below deck. It is a beautiful ship and well worth a visit.

On his way to the ball, a Marine used his belt as a tourniquet to save a motorist's life

A Marine used quick thinking and his belt as a tourniquet to save a motorists life and provide care until first responders arrived.

However, he was disciplined for performing duty w/o wearing his safety belt;)

My son took that same road from 29 to Vegas to the ball last year. Great job by the Marines. I carry a bag of first aid gear that is heavy on hemorrhage control and airway management. I also have a knife in the truck with a window breaker and seat belt cutter. You never know.

The Department of the Navy issued orders today to ADM S. Clause, recalling him to active duty, with a report date of 24 Dec 20.

Fighter Pilots Are Taking Full Advantage Of The Air Force's Lifted Ban On Custom Helmet Art

While it's long been a fixture of naval aviation, recently relaxed Air Force rules mean its flyers now have some of the coolest helmet art we've seen.

Some nice A-10 door art as well. (Might just become my avatar!)
Also an attached article reports Tom Cruise's "Maverick" helmet is up for sale ($50K-ish.)

Son #1 was part of this initiative at Holloman and his squadron was one of the first to get the wraps. I’m waiting for permission from him to post a pic or two. It has really been a boost to morale at the squadron level to have a little bit of control over something.
