While I’m not really that good at any sort of art, one of my hobbies I figured I’d share with my few followers is my hobby of painting up leather jackets like WWII aviator’s jackets. The first two pictures are of my own personal jacket.
The guys on Grindr are a whole ‘nother breed of guys I swear...
Got to meet one of the original code talkers. He was a very nice man.
The Navajo language was chosen to code U.S. military operations because it has no written form and is almost impossible for non-native speakers to learn. After the operation was declassified in 1968, the Japanese Chief of Intelligence admitted that though his army had been able to decipher many U.S. codes, they were never able to crack the Navajo code.

Captured a few seconds of our B-25 doing a flyby today
I’m so tired of getting a notification from tumblr and getting all excited and then seeing it’s just another damn porn bot followed me...
Those are some cool bomber jackets, I have a shoulder band for the Civil Defense of New Jersey as well as a patch I got from my uncle that says "Operation Iraqi Freedom". At my grandmother's house I found some WWI medals which had the State of New Jersey victory medal in a bad as well as some silk.
Thank you. Im about to start on a few more, two of which I’m hoping to sell. I’m also working on trying to find more stuff like the Civil Defense and WWI items like those. They’re usually a rarity around these parts except for the CD helmets which they sold surplus to the local coal mines.
To My Followers
I know my blog is far from the most active and definitely not the most interesting as I don't put pictures up with answers, but I want to thank you all for sticking with my blog and not unfollowing despite my long absences. It means a lot to me that you all stick around. Thank you so so much
A rare sight to behold and it's now part of my collection. During WWII the United States Navy experimented with the idea of issuing garrison caps for the dungaree uniforms that could be interchangeable with the traditional dixie cup caps. The plan was eventually shelved and would never be considered again and officially died with the retirement of the dungaree uniforms in the 1990s. That wasn't to say that these caps didn't see use though. Much like the early Ike jackets, these were custom items that the sailor would have to pay for himself. They followed the same pattern as other US Navy and US Marine Corps garrison caps and fit well with the uniforms worn while at sea. These are extremely uncommon and this is actually the first time I've ever seen one in person. Knowing what it was and the fact it was only $4, I quickly snatched it up and now proudly have it in my collection with my US Navy Lieutenant's garrison cap.
All of you talking about Tide Pods being the “forbidden fruit” but I think y’all forgot the forbidden chewing gum
I know it doesn't really fit with my blog but I really liked this picture I took while riding in an old WWII torpedo bomber that was flying in formation with a B-25J Mitchell. Thought maybe someone else would like to see it too
Me again, if you could go to any fictional place,where would you go? Also, I'm going to make a tunblr account later today, so I don't have to stay anonymous
Oh, that's a tough one. Especially with a lot of fictional places being real (seeing all of Luna's papers teaches you things) so that's a hard one to answer. I'd have to say Florida. Everyone knows that place can't be real with all the news reports about there.
For those of you who want to ask questions for Swing and his friends
