Of course I always enjoy reading all the posts, and always learn something new, Joe I Nearly fell right off my chair...I laughed myself silly, how do you come up with this stuff....I never knew tatoos would keep you out of the military, my dad was in the Navy and he had some awesome big tatoos, one was an American Flag with an Eagle, and even though it was made in the 50's it was red white and blue color.....all those Navy guys had them, so why can't they have them now?

:nod:

He probably got in trouble for having it on his hand where it can be seen. I got 4 tattoos while I was in, but took care of them and they are not seen unless I'm in a t-shirt. If they had got infected, then I would of been in big trouble.

its my understanding that tattoos are not illegal persay...but having them where they are visable when wearing the uniform is..i.e. having a two naked women intwined in an unnatural act on the back of the hand ya salute with hee hee that was kinda funny

one thing ive always wondered about, is my pop telling me that if you were in combat zones they just pulled all your teeth, it could explain all of these ww2 people with dentures, he told me they had no dentists, and did not want to screw with it, and if you go to combat they just pulled your teeth, im not sure of that, they pulled his in one day in san diego, again im not sure some thing to look up

No My Dad's TAT'S weren't on his hand.... they covered his whole upper arm and one was on his chest...they were really cool, my Dad was my Hero, he was one tough son of a !!!!!....they don't make men like that any more, he taught me how to be strong and take care of myself. HE WAS A LOVER OF LIFE.....ALWAYS GOING FULL BORE......he will never be forgotten... his name will live on....in the students who pass through the school named after him.......Lt. Frank Kim....
