Native American
I like the way native americans talk in the old westerns
like how Tonto talks in the Lone Ranger

How tough is basic training these days?
what was basic training boot camp like during WWII? was it much different than modern day basic training?
did they shave a soldier's head during basic training back in those days? I have seen old films and they dont appear to have shaved heads

flea market finds
I often go to flea markets searching for old militaria
1. Brazilian model 1908 mauser bayonet & scabbard
2. German or French brass fireman's helmet circa 1890 - early 1900's
3. old US army post card dating back to around 1900 - 1905 era

a Cooper size 46 Regular fits good on me
5 ft 7 185
for actual use / wearing, Id rather have brand new reproductions of the originals
as long as sombody can make authentic reproductions, I would be happy ;)

I tried one of the imported pea coats made in Cambodia and it fit me better than the military...
thats a nice peacoat
1958 would be correct for a Navy SEALs coat, because that would be the time frame of the SEAL TEAM ONE circa 1962
the auction is listed in the Korean war era, but the description is accurate, she didnt say it was used during the Korean war, she said it belonged to a...
once I got in high school , the bullying stopped, because I was much bigger and stronger and could defend myself, by the senior year, guys would be scared of me and look down as we passed in the hallway.
bullying was mostly in elementary school
