A Few Damned Good Men
This picture was taken in 1985 at Circus World in Orlando, Florida. I was 18 years old and fresh out of boot camp in the United States Navy. The only information that I can remember about the other two guys in this picture is that one was from Chicago and the other was from Indianapolis. I wanted to share this picture in honor of Veterans Day and the service men and women serving in the US and abroad. By the way, can you pick me out of these three men?

You're in the middle.
Yeah, you picked me. :)Yes, this goes out to your son. He's definitely one of those being honored. Peace~
bet you all looked sexy in your dress atire.
Would also love it if sometime you added more pics and tales of ships and life at sea.
You all look so very handsome.
I wasn't sure till I read the other comments.
I guessed right. You were soooooo cute. I would have kissed you if you asked me nicely Xxx
Happy vets day.
I was going to join the Air Force, but they didn't accept me because I'm allergic to aspirin! I really wanted to go. But oh well...college is nice too. =)
Funny - I was in the Army National Guard until I decided to join the Air Force... Long story.
Man - in 1985 - I was 4. Unless it was summer - then I was STILL 3. DAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. :)
To all the VETERANS!!! Including my high school boyfriend Shalimar (haha - thats funny all by itself) who is an officer in the Navy and back overseas until December.
Peace and Blessings to all those military men who are currently serving with the forces in all capacities. Prayers for the families who have lost a loved one to war...
Rememberance to all the VETS who fought in previous wars, their numbers are dwindling, my father included..
It will not be a sad post though
It may happen that we have forgotten all of the persons we where with in the past, it's for that reason that it's ever useful to write the names at the back of the picture
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. You're absolutely right. I definitely have some stories about when I was in the Navy. I'll have to share.
JB-
LOL! Thank you. Yes, I get that nose from my momma's momma. :)
Rethabile-
My have times changed. That boy could be my son now. :)
Gooders-
Thank you! I would probably said something stupid back as I watched you walk away. :)
Game-
Ahh...the memories. Thanks and good to see you.
UB-
I didn't know that an allergic reaction to asprin could keep you out. Thanks for the compliment too for young Stephen.
Dance-
Haa ha! You know I was a B-boy. :)That's my Southeast DC pose. Yeah, you were just a baby. I could've been your uncle Steve or daddy by today's standards. lol
Peace out to the vets and service members including Shalimar.
Alli-
Welcome and thanks for sending that msg of good will out to the veterans. Peace to your love in Japan. I know that you must be anticipating your joyous reunion.
Cergie-
Thanks. I'll be over to see.
I want to say something cute about a man in uniform but you were just a boy. cute boy all the same.
I know...everyone knew which one was me if they ever visit here. :)
Thanks for the compliment on young Stephen. Also, I hope that you and your little army have a great weekend too. Peace~
Haa haa!! I was country back then. I was fresh out of Williamston HS in North Carolina. :)
Nevertheless, thanks for complimenting young Stephen and his posse. We thought that we were pretty cool in 1985. Peace to all those soldiers who fought here and abroad (especially you sista souljah). Khotso~
Thanks. Yeah, the Navy was some of the best of times and worst of times.
Like JB, I spotted the nose, easy characteristic on most.
Great flashback photo.
Peace
I can only imagine your stories. :)Good times, Good times!!
Rose-
Yeah, it would be good to see those guys. I think about them and others often. They also have this picture. They are probably wondering the same about me. :)
Bygbaby-

NML-
