overdue for a nap here @SmilingGecko  sounds good re garden

@TAB so if you were in the Armed Forces you are classified as a veteran. Did you serve in the Armed Forces? If so you are a veteran, real or perceived. Be proud of your decision to serve the country my friend.

My dad served in Vietnam and doesn't feel real proud of his Army service. It makes me upset. 

Anyone who chooses to join the military deserves respect for their decision. So what if you didn't serve in any war? You were prepared to and that is what counts.

Hope this makes sense and hasn't upset/annoyed you. I feel very passionate about our military (you might have picked up on that ha ha!)

@TAB The garden looks heaps better will have green waste from overhead trees scraping my roof. The garden is neat and tidy now just in time for a wild storm this evening. Enjoy your nap this afternoon. I'm just having a cup of chaga tea while looking outside my window at this overcast day. It will rain soon. The wind gusts last night were fierce. Am expecting more of it with rain

[TAB]

@ENKELI  yes, I was in the Army a long time ago. I have a defence service medal now as I completed my contract which was 3 years at the time.

cant imagine re your father. i was in army in early 80s, most NCOs had been to vietnam.

think I went to the Army to try and please my father and well due to zero clue about job searching  and wanting to get out of school

My father was tank gunner and officer cadet. He was on the Russian Front for 2 years. yes he was in German Army . plus closet fitness nut w body like a body builder til late 50s , he still did clap pushups in his 70s. He was hard. nothing was good enough.However,he had no ambition job wise, and if anything went wrong it was someone elses fault.
