What is the left shoulder sleeve insignia worn by this very fine looking officer?

MAJ Hugo B. Adelson - That is my point Maj, the downsizing actually started under Bush #1, a Republican, they seem to speed up under Clinton, but unlike some people here wanting to blame everything on the Dems, in this case, it was the Right not the Left who started it. As I said in another post a few months ago, I was trained to report the truth as I see it, not what chain wants to hear, but the actual facts as they are presented.

Actually, fact is downsizing never happened due to stop loss and service members ETS put on hold due to Desert Storm. Downsizing into 1992 was to restore end numbers to pre Desert Storm level. Then the major cuts started under the Clinton Administrations

I once made the statement that we could take Ronald Reagan's rotting corpse and prop it up in the oval office and it would be a better president than Barack Obama. I had people tell me but that's disrespectful. I said to who, they said well to both. I said no, Reagan would appreciate it! Lol

PO1 Charles Hannon - Go back and check your history.

CSM Charles Hayden - Of course - I felt Jack Kennedy also had the stuff of dreams too!!!
But - in those days no one published any distasteful rumors breaking the Arthurian image.
I always dreamed JFK was more than a bit of a ladies man!!! Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT Sandy Annala That is K, the girls in my high school dreamt also!

CSM Charles Hayden - I had an absolutely mad crush on both presidents. None of the subsequent presidents . . . or presidential candidates . . . ever matched up. In the end, though, I have to say I had far more respect for Ronald and Nancy's forever enduring relationship . . . in the public eye . . . with God's blessings. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT Sandy Annala - Please remember Sandy that JFK WAS a Sailor and we do have a certain reputation to keep.

“I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.”

and then I fixed it
