Too Bad

[Jim von Krieg]

Kelly's Heroes has always been one of my favorites... Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland and all the others... I just love the scene where the General is listening over the radio to the battle... classic...

Eastwood has come a long way since then... One of Hollywood's best IMHO...

As to being in the Fleet... Haze Grey and underway... Someone has to do it... Why not Cole? LOL...

I understand and respect the life... We had a Navy Officer with our unit in Iraq... Our EWO... We had long discussions on life in the fleet... definitely a Blue Water Surface guy... He was our token Sand Sailor... and a very good guy... XO on a Destroyer in San Diego now...

For me, it is the Road not taken because there were two times I came very close to being in the Navy... A big chunk of my early years were in Hawaii... A place that just oozes Navy... I almost joined the Nuclear Navy out of High School... I decided to go to college instead...

Continuing Cole's thread Jack... LOL...
