Sorry I made a mistake in my calculations..a touch of stupid creeping in..I was in Nam in 1965, not 1963 and I was 21 years old..

I came out of the British army and was very twitchy, I kept seeing the same faces that I had been shooting at as I walked the streets of London, I got that feeling between my shoulder blades that some of you may know..so I signed on a Shell tanker..

  1963   ok figure it out, how old were you in 1963?

I did not join the CF till 1972, almost 10 years later, and people call me old........

old (ld)
adj. old·er, old·est
1.
a. Having lived or existed for a relatively long time; far advanced in years or life.
b. Relatively advanced in age: Pamela is our oldest child.
2. Made long ago; in existence for many years: an old book.
3. Of or relating to a long life or to people who have had long lives: a ripe old age.
4. Having or exhibiting the physical characteristics of age: a prematurely old face.
5. Having or exhibiting the wisdom of age; mature: a child who is old for his years.
6. Having lived or existed for a specified length of time: She was 12 years old.

somethings you just can not candy coat...old is old.....and most people are proud of being old.....

I'm a USMC Viet Nam Vet , doing 2 tours, and returning in 1970.

It seems we have something in common, I worked for Shell during the Viet Nam war and did three trips delivering Napalm to various parts of Nam in 1963..At least that was what we were told we were delivering..

The US Government paid us 100% of our wages as danger money, we thought we were going to make our fortunes but when we got back the British government called it unearned income and charged us 97.5% tax..
