sounds like this has turned in to a veterans thread as well.  When did all you guys serve?

Me:  1871 - 1974.....main duty station:  Gelnhausen, Gerrmany, 3rd Armored Division,  HHC, 1/33rd.  S- 3 training, S - 2 military intelligence (not just an oxymoron)

okay, I missed typed.

But,  dirt is actually about 500 years old.  It takes about that much time for the weathering process to work on most rocks. So, given that, then there is no way that I older than dirt.  Just unable to type......but for many of you, you know this is not a new phenomenon.

Alright fellow Vet Brothers and Sisters,

3rd BN 11th Marines 1970-1974 Camp Pendleton, Ca.  Okinawa and Quantico Va.  I might be losing my mind but the Marine Corp colors are scarlet and gold about the same colors as these Victrelis pills.  So sometimes when I have to throw 4 more back I say and "One more for the Corp".  Man, I'm really, really losing itl LOL. :ahhh:

Thank you for all the replies.  It helps, it really does.
Army, 6/9 FA, Giessen Germany, Rivers Barracks, 1975-1978.
I am sure it was the day they gave us the Swine flu shot ('76, I think).  I refused to take it and was bodily carried to the theater and forced.  I remember the blood on the gun and was sick for a long time after.  I can't prove it but I know it.

The VA has all but admitted to this.  My feelings are they cannot come out and say it because then they would be liable to pay for all the treatment.  I do know they will help with the meds.  Had a buddy who was offered that, but he bled out before he could get himself together enough to go in for treatment.
