But what about bone spurs?
What about them? My brother failed the medical exam and was rejected because of bone spurs.

Give me a break!

PS, 90% of my unit were original volunteers.
Please keep this out of the Attic.

Semper Fi brothers
Thank you.
My father served as a Marine infantry officer in the Pacific theater, he volunteered. I have talked with many old veterans of past conflicts.
I was amazed at how many relatives served in all branches except for the Coast Guard and Space Force.
I laughed at Marines when with them and they laughed at us and we both laughed at the Air Force.
But when it came down to it we were grateful for the tremendous support each gave the other and would do anything for them any time if it came down to it.
Thank you all for serving, just sitting here looking at the sunshine, birds and the yard and thinking of all those I directly served with who never made it home alive to their loved ones and their sacrifice.

That's because your brother had bone spurs.

In a social situation when serving in the armed forces comes up.
RA 66-69 My DD214 says 2 years, 2 months, 2 days overseas time - all in Vietnam with the same unit. Well 28 days of that was a cruise on the USNS lines from Oakland to Qui Nhon. Don't take cruises on that line. The accommodations suck and the food is mediocre on a good day.
Odds are this will end in the Attic, they haven't got the will power to resist.
