Who is Bill Clinton?

Crab-- I sometimes forget that I am dealing with an international audience. Bill Clinton was President of the US and Monica was one of his interns in which Bill used a cigar was used as a sex toy while in the White House. LOL

"I thought it was wedding cake"

Reminds me of the story of a young couple getting married. They are at the Temple but the Rabbi is late, so they go off into a side room. After 10 minutes they come out, the groom has a huge smile on his face. The best man asks him why he is so happy, he says, "I just got the best BJ of my life!" The bride is also smiling broadly and a bridesmaid asks her why she is so happy. She replies, "I just gave the last BJ of my life!"

Poor guy...

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Those horrible hornrim glasses...we used them too.

Was or is there a minimum uncorrected visual acuity to qualify for military service?

V4 means about blind I guess, Infantry had to be above that. I never fell into any of those classifications so I just know we had guys with glasses. Other trades I couldn't say.

Just curious as were I in a firefight and lost my eyeglasses all I could do is trade my rifle and ammo for grenades and have someone point in the direction I needed to throw them.

PS The guy on the binos looks like "Cowboy" from Full Metal Jacket.

I couldn't understand guys in the infantry when I was young that couldn't see without specs...for that reason. Now I know I couldn't do my job, with my eyes like they are now.

I use to carry two spare sets of glasses with me just in case. When they issued the conventional arms BCGs, we would buy a safety band that fitted to the glasses to keep them from falling off. Later they would issue the BCGs with arms with a wire rim that would go securely behind the ears to keep the glasses from falling off. I still could not pick up any girls with those glasses. After basic and advanced training, I ordered several pairs of Randolph Aviators and had prescription lens made for them. Then the girls always thought I was a military pilot and would go out with me!! LOL
