Good to be 49 and single ain't it fellas? I hate like hell that my first and only 18-yr marriage failed. No doubt in my mind the Corps and what I went through had its wear and tear on that. I made damn sure, living 8 miles apart this whole time with the ex, we would never *f-word with the kids, nor their heads. Gotta 25-old Navy son aboard the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier working F/A-18 Super Hornets, and a 'know it all' 18-yr old daughter at Georgia Southern University. My gal at school is a pricey one...I wouldn't have it no other way. I never went to college, why I slave away as a DoD C-17 avionics/electrician mechanic on govt airplanes...but it's a fine paying job.

I'm glad my kids turned out ok and that's all that matters in the long run...sometimes fellas I kick myself in the ass for joining the Corps back in the 80's...and all the yrs that passed, and participated in the slaughter I did.

I'm damn proud I served my country in the Corps for many yrs...it was a costly venture though fellas. Ya just had to be there fellas to get the full perspective of just how *f-worded up things got. I acted nothing different than an animal in combat not wanting to come back in a zippered bag...I knew it was the only way I'd ever get back to see my kids and ol' lady.

Sorry for this reply fellas...sometimes I like to get some things off my chest. I appreciate the sounding board here.

Jason, nothing I could say would come close to expressing how thankful I am for you and our others in the military for laying down their lives everyday for us. You sir in my mind are a hero and nothing will ever change that. I couldn't imagine the things you went thru and won't act like I do but brother I'll be damned if you have to live with it bottled up inside you with noone to talk to. We are always here for you, day or night!

I can't believe that's all weld Joe. I'd be sneaking some plate in there to speed up the process. [emoji12]

Something like that was done once before..

Guy went to the scrap hopper, dumped a 5 gallon pail worth of nuts bolts die chunks etc and welded over em...

Nobody would have known except we had to machine a pocket in the he'd and found em. Needless to say he has never been back. That was 15+ years ago..
