Can we rejuvenate this forum?
Up until 3 weeks ago the last posting here was 2 months ago yet we have 47 members. I feel that as serving military or veterans we share a common and unique bond. Surely we have something to say to each other regarding our service or nudism. Why else did we join this particular forum? Lets bring it back to the active and interactive forum it can and should be.
Thanks,
Count me in. I have a little over 11 years of service in the WI National Guard and Army Reserves. I've been a medic, a helicopter mechanic, tank commander, battalion photographer in an engineering company and last, but not least, an Aero Scout Observer in an attack helicopter battalion. Actually got to drive the aircraft, an OH-58 observation helicopter, as part of my training. Most fun I ever had with my pants on. I posted a picture of me by one I frequently flew in in my profile.
I had posted my " Bona-Fides" when I joined this group and had no reponse no "new friends" request from this group.
so here it is again.

I was suppose to have gone to Nam with the 101st Airborne in 1967. But on hill 875 in Dak To in Nov. 67 the 173 was almost wiped out. I was a combat medic and a replacement for the ones that lost their lives. I have PTSD and receive a disability each month.
Great to see some activity here for sure. I joined several months ago and never really connected with many military here but happy to chat and try again. Retired Navy here myself and living in VA now. Would be glad to chat and share with anyone out there. You are right, as military nudists we are sure to have some stories and experiences to share. I enjoy Skype as well..feel free to add me. Hope you all are well!
Served in the Navy from '71 to '75. One tour to RVN and two additional WesPac cruises. Became a Shellback in '72. I'm proud to be a veteran and appreciate the acknowledgment but I don't dwell on it, I don't boast about it and I've moved on from that part of my life.
The same goes for my service/career as a firefighter. I appreciate the acknowledgment but that too is part of who I was and I chose to move on from that and not become so stuck on that time of my life. Many guys, I've seen and read, live in the past, be it military or pre retirement career. I loved my time as a Sailor and a Firefighter/Fire Captain but ... that time is over and I focus on what I am now ... a husband, a father, a grandfather ... and a coach to all our grandchildren and their sporting activities. ;-)
