A fellow Marine made this and sent it to me. You can't tell from the picture but the stripes stand proud of the background. The crossed rifles feel like a decal. Pretty doggone cool. Had I made Sergeant before I got out, I would have had to find a different place to hang it because it sure wouldn't have fit there.

Pretty cool Jerry

Cool Jerry!
I never made Sgt either, but the Corps doesn't promote very well when you spend your last 10 months in the hospital & outpatient treatment.
I picked up Cpl when I first got to the hospital after being medevaced. Two warrants for promotion, one each from my last two commands, caught up with me in the hospital. That was nice because my pay records caught up about then too!

Awesome stripes Jerry!
I bet someone could make those and sell them!

I made Corporal 40 days before I got out. It was a re-enlistment carrot that didn't work but what do I care. Better than getting out as a L/Cpl which I fully expected to happen.

I was a PFC E-2 for 31 months and Lance Cooley for 13 months so the promotion to Corporal was a big surprise.

I really appreciate Chuck making that and sending it to me. You have to see it in person to appreciate how nice it really is.

Any of you can collectors ever see one of these?

My ride from '68 to '70


Had a hot 283 and a 3 speed. Had several different rear end ratio's over time. LOL

Spent as much time under it as I did in it. Blew more than few tranny's and clutches. Fri night and Sat night street drags were the deal. Good thing I had a part time job at a wrecking yard.

Wish I still had it.

'57 Chevs are such classics.
Bet you wish you still had it!

Dave, that's just about as miscellaneous as you can get.

For a while, they were giving away something similar at Harbor Freight (I call it China Town) with any purchase. That looks like a better one though.

Willie, the only thing better than a '57 Chevy is a 789 Kanter Concept Muscle Car.

The 4 sevens light is an order of magnitude better than those dollar LED lights!

There was no doubt in my mind yours is better than those Chinese freebes.

A gracious wrecker company owner gave me two of these the other day (he sells Streamlights and I got him out a bad bind he had going on at wreck). A blue one for me and a pink one for the wife.

Jerry, that car is so cool it looks like a hot wheel !

[Just Plain Dave]

That 789 is too fancy to actually DRIVE! A '57 not QUITE so much....

Its been really cold here lately.......-25ish with wind. Makes for a nice sunrise on the clear days.
Had to open the dining room window (brrrrrrr) for this pic and it did not really capture the nice
red on the mountains. These peaks are just behind the Mendenhall Glacier.

Here's a few more pics of some of my other passions.
Trade Stimulators, anything Coca Cola and 1974 Williams pinball machine, WORKS! And other Coke signs.
Yeah, there's a little bit of everything in here. In pic 2, my Grandfather's WW1 Tunic he wore.



This Trade Stimulator is a 1940s Daval Marvel, these were the kind you played by inserting a penny, just like a slot,
then if you got 3 of a kind, you got a free pack of smokes. gave you a gumball with every play.
