NavyDoc's Inaugural Adventure W Pics

[secret garden]

I love PCAs. They beat getting called every 5 minutes. ;)

[CholeraJoe]

Aw give me a few weeks and I'll be wrecking my train in Casey Jones' whorehouse ditch.

Grizzfan, where y'att, dahlin'?

[CholeraJoe]

PCAs are for wimps. I had a long bone fracture and used 9 mg of morphine in 36 hours and took 24 percocets in a month after discharge.

Of course I must admire Terrell Owens who played in the Super Bowl with 5 screws in his ankle. His injury and mine happened about the same time. I still can't walk to the mailbox without a cane.

Yes, but he has his own private chiro/massage therapist. Think of how you'd be line dancing with that kind of attention.

[CholeraJoe]

I have my own Ortho (John,) Chiro (Gary,) Massage Therapist (Janae,) and Physical Therapist (Jennifer,) but don't have that kind of mobility yet.

[Lucy Lake]

Hi CJ, glad you're better.

[CholeraJoe]

Good to see you. We need to have lunch again. Freep mail me for dates.

[buffyt]

Beautiful, thanks for posting!

[oldbrowser]

thanks for the pics and welcome to FR Doc.

[campfollower]

I forgot to mention both my husbands were D.I.s (San Diego)

But something tells me you didn't need any D.I. to make you who you are!

[NavyDoc]

I wouldn't say that. Went from a 17 year old boy to a 17 year old man at Parris Island.

Us Devil Dogs love our corpsmen. But to have a Navy Doc that's a former Marine? Why that ranks higher than Catherine Bell in dress blues. No offense, but too bad you're not better looking then she. She's my cup of tea, but you still earn my salute.

God bless and welcome aboard!

[holyscroller]

Welcome aboard Doc. You're right. FreeRepublic IS like a second family,...sometimes more like a first family. Lots of USNA aboard here too, in fact we could easily have a USNA wing of FR.

[Swede Girl]

Wow! Thanks so much for posting your pictures and giving us your report. This Army Brat salutes you for your service!

[NavyDoc]

Thanks! Swede Girl!

[NavyDoc]

Hey Holyscroler: a USNA wing of FR would be great! I could pull in someof my buds!

What is it with Marines becoming pastors?

One of the pastors that retired from my mom and dad's church was a Marine - was in the Korean War, and then involved in the open air nuke tests. Said he saw the fireball going up and that was his Calling.

He substitute teaches in our school system now - when he goes into the high school classes he tells them "My name is Mr. Bradshaw. I'm a combat veteran Marine and a retired pastor - so this class can be heaven or it can be hell. It's your choice."

He's never had a problem with his students.

Excellent thread, NavyDoc! Welcome to Free Republic and thank you for your service to this great country. :o)

And thanks to *you*, fidgit, for the ping - and for having served in our military as well. Smoochies.

[NavyDoc]

Actually you are right about that one. When I was growing up our paster, Father Eugene Gramoka, was a marine in WWII. Was in the front: Okinawa, Tarawa. Good man (RIP), loved to laugh.
