I thought that this was an authentic WWII pic for a second.

Pretty cool, yes? The only one of the three who is dead is Larry Nowak, from what my Dad can remember, Larry died of a heart attack.

Well, that's kind of tragic.

Yeah, but he was heavy set, even in this picture.

Neat.

Cool!

Also, my father served in the Navy. He was the guy who turned on the nuclear reactors that powered the gigantic aircreft carriers when they still uses those models. Now they're the diesel motor ones that are much more ffective but more fuel hogs. He also had a shift running the on board desalination plants. He broke his foot playing football and was reassigned to teach the reactor class.

His only time he ever was allowed to make code was a disaster too. Thick black sludge with chunks he describes it at. His CO loved it though, after that nobody let him near the machine though!

Wow.

Yeah. My entire family on both sides have EXTENSIVE military Sr vice and a ton of funny stories since we're all aspies!

I'd try and join the military too but my medical history would only take one look and I'd be out. Two stays in the mental lockup ward and needing mood pills really isn't the kind of thing you want to are on the resume either.

Real, from what my Dad said.
