did you get married in 82?
What happened in 82?
What’s your shirt say?
Hope i dont go to war someday. I just disturbing to see al the shit on nsfw videos, its affect me more than I think. Its like 0.5/100 of ptsd level.
Great photo. I think the early 80s were bad years for a lot of people. Especially yourself being deployed to combat. Thx for sharing ✌🏼
Even in Black and White, I can tell you’re a fork in the microwave.
Brad Hall?

Damn dude, I know I was born in June 1982 but what did I do to deserve this??
Can confirm, was born in 82
I have so many comments and side stories this makes me think of, some good, some not. My “stepdad” (he is no longer and never was a dad so…) was in Beirut Oct of 83, Marines. Idk how big the story is but it seemed big when I was a kid. They thought he died.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
You look like a sadistic summer camp counselor
Didn’t know Letterman had a Reddit account.
I certainly hope life turned around towards not being shit for you in the years after these times, friend!
I’ve done some advertising branding work for an organization here in the states that helps vets reacclimate to civilian life. When I met with the founder he told me this:
“When the military retires a plane they decommission it. When they retire a ship they decommission it. There’s no program to decommission soldiers.”
That needs to change.
One characteristic of PTSD is blaming oneself for circumstances out of one’s control. The world can be a dirty, nasty, brutal place. Self-forgiveness, appreciation of the good in life, and letting the world own it’s stuff pave the road to salvation.
I just almost asked you if you’re Gary Busey.
Oh so I have to find out this way. I can’t help that I was born in 82
If only coach had put you in, you woulda won state.
I thought I was looking at a pic of Steve McQueen!
From my pov it went to shit 10 years earlier, but hey.
I sat here thinking that ’81 was ages ago, then remembered that I was born in ’81. I mean, it was still ages ago but I still hurt my own feelings lol
Did you have trauma as a kid?
You look like one of the actors in The Shawshank Redemption.
Regardless of the date, reason, politics, duration, color, or gender, if you have served this country, I call home, you have served me, and my loved ones. For that, I can’t thank you enough. You are all heroes, and you are loved.
I worked with a guy about 45 years ago. He was a sniper in Vietnam. Had a terrible drinking problem. Didn’t complain but like many American soldiers who returned home, he felt like he was not welcomed back. We went on many fishing (and drinking) trips. Sometimes when he would get a little plastered he would sing the words “Shot at and missed, Shit at and hit, now ask me if I give a Fuck”.
I saw him about 20 years ago, on an elevator. He did not recognize me. He had a hand truck and was delivering something. His face was red, he was drunk, the elevator smelled like alcohol. I felt bad and didn’t say anything because… there was nothing I could say.
I got off on my floor and went back to work in my office cube.
I miss you Marlin, and I will always remember the good times.
You looked like a handsome David Letterman.
Ah, the year before they found the first body.
Summer of 1981…it all went to hell for me six months later lol
Are Steve McQueen and Jimmy Carter your uncle’s?
And that kids, is why no amount of money will make me go to war. Being a soldier is a terrible job, for a terrible pay. And I’m not talking about money.
I’m just a few years younger than you. I think reconnecting with the time ‘before it went to shit’ is probably a good thing. We have to grieve for the people we were and who they could have become, then accept who we are now, and that ain’t easy shit even for non-vets.
Thanks for sharing your stories all!!
What camp?
Go on…
And yet you are still here! That’s good news.
You’ve really got one of those faces eh? Lol my first thought was Terry Fox, doesn’t look like you’ve had him yet
’82 was a pretty bad year for me, too — i was born. been all downhill since.
I was born in 82, so he’s not wrong
Was this right before you married Julia-Louis Dreyfus?
Cool pic. & it goes to shit for everyone eventually.
Man, this is why I hate the u.s. military but have such a great appreciation for our veterans, thanks so much man, and I’m extremely sorry to hear that.
No clue what it’s like with war/combat but I’ve had my own experience with ptsd and the… complications that come with such a misunderstood/invisible ailment. Compassion sent your way brother.
I look at my photos before everything hit me and it’s a different person, I refer to it as the age of understanding/realization in my own situation. 🖖
Hey Woody! Get Mr. Calvin another beer would ya?
*Cheers*
Everyone’s thinking you got married in 82, lol
I hope things turned around.
