Hazardous Duty

[Bull Schmitt]

Is there a GAF award for Hazardous Duty???

Thought I would ask since I just celebrated 50 years with my wife!!!

If not there should be.  Congratulations on 50 years of service. 

[US Scout]

Bull,

You are now authorized to change the brass ring in your nose for a gold one! 

Congratualtions.  I'm just coming up on my 25th, so I have a long way to go yet.

His wife might feel that she deserves the medal.

[Zouave Officer]

Congratulations to you both.

If there was ever a task that deserved a Medal that sure is it, for both parites, you for having to put up with her, and her for not killing you, ha ha.  Hopefully you'll have many more happy years.

[Texas Lawdog]

I don't have quite as many years of marriage as Bull, My wife and I will celebrate 35 in March.  I owe it all to my wife, I have been a LEO during our entire married life and says a lot about her.

[Mustang Gregg]

I will be at 29 years duty with my first (and proably LAST) wife in a coupla months.
Made it this far 'cause I do a lot of TDY's. 

Respectfully,

You know Bull, by calling it "hazardous duty" it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. 

Congratulations to you both!
I'm only a couple of months into year 27.

Thanks fellows for the fine thoughts and wishes. My wife is the love of my life and truly deserves a medal!!

US Scout - You are about to be promoted from the brass ring to the silver one. Wearing the ring isn't so bad but when they yank on it it sure gets one's attention!!

Texas Lawdog - She surly deserves a medal for putting up with me.  The first 35 are the hardest.

Zouave Officer - She is a good shot but with a head start I can still out run her.

Mustang Gregg - TDYs are good. Keeping the "job jar" empty helps.

Pitspitr - A self fulfilling prophecy? I showed her this thread and she is smiling. Is this a good sign??

Bull,

You'll recall I met your missus some years back. All I'm going to say is that you're a very lucky man!  If I was you, I'd keep her for at least another 50 years.

Scout,

The real question is will she put up with me for another 50 years???

Bull,

She might, then again she might not.

I learned a long time ago not to try to understanding the thinking and/or reasoning of women.

[Texas Lawdog]

I, second that.

[Bull Schmitt]

You two fellows keep going down this path you will also be candidates for the Hazardous Duty award!!

Share the danger... I frequently advise: "Young man, do not attempt to understand why a woman does anything - that way lies madness."

Well, Congratulations, Col. Bull, Sir!  To you and your Bride!

I've been married since 1971, but only the last 20 years to the RIGHT woman!

My wife is my best friend - and possibly worst enemy - if you know what I mean! 

Having spent a lot of years married to her and in uniform, it takes a special lady - and mine is.  Sounds like yours is, too.  (In my case I think it helped that she had worn a uniform too - just not the same ans mine.  She was in the WRAC -Women's Royal Army Corps.  But as you can imagine, there are plenty of similarities from one Military to another!!)


Here's hoping for ANOTHER 50 for you and your "better half'!

Sincerely,

Jeff  "Steel Horse Bailey"
