THE CZickness XLIX....Tackling 2023 with CZ style...

[T-DOGG]

The full monti, bro....the whole ball of wax ..... every possible coupling of awesomeness !
My first experience was at 15 years old, with an 18 year old girl....in her car.
By 1968, I was headed to 17 years old, and felt like I was an incomparable stud !

And you wonder why you have back problems.

 

[Leadeye]

12 year old farm kid in 1968, being worked like a rented mule. My parents told me that it builds character, it doesn't, it just makes you tired and hungry at the end of the day.

And you wonder why you have back problems.

I probably told the story before, but let me refresh it again !

My wife and I had just arrived at my High School class's 20th reunion.
.... being held at some fancy club in Indy.
A dorm mate of mine (Owen hall, at Purdue) spots me from about 50' away, and yells at the top of his lungs "it's the Sex Athlete", which was my moniker among friends at Purdue. My wife about fainted, and 100 other nearby attendees grew very quiet.
It was quite the the memorable entrance !

Having put a lot of bullets down range with an MG-42 it always amazes me the skill, timing and courage it would have taken to deal with one.

Hitler's Buzz Saw is the most common nick name I've heard for the MG-42. Literally a lawn mower. A belt fed SAW, M249, 5.56mm, every 5th round a tracer, awesome, BUT belt fed 8mm. Now, we had 240 Bravos, FN's belt fed 308, roughly 650 - 900 rounds per minute, does wonders to mud huts, and cinder blocks on the Iraqi desert... BUT the MG-42s cycle rate of 1,200 rounds per minute and the noise and percussion from it would definitely make a grunt think twice or 5 times about rushing an MG-42 position. I can only imagine what Normandy would have felt like.

I wasn't a itch in my dad's shorts yet, would be 2 more years before I was 1.

I was negative 1 as well.
At least I think that’s the same if I did the maths right.

 

[rkwhyte2]

1968 I would have been 13. Oh those were the days.

 

[88E30M50]

I was all of 5 in 1968.

 

[T-DOGG]

Minus 14 in 1968. My Dad graduated high school in 1969 and I'm sure he wasn't thinking about having me during that time.

 

[Usmccookie]

In 68 my dad was 5 and my mom’s dad had a twinkle in his eye. They wouldn’t meet for another 20 years.

We loaded M134 GAU-17’s on our Air Rescue MH-60’s in Korea. They we really fun to shoot…

No problem Frank, I remember everything.

 

[WebSnyper]

I'd already 'experienced my first woman.... actually, more than one !

Based on previous stories, probably more than one at the same time

My mom’s dad was Navy in Japan right after WWII. Unfortunately, I didn’t know him that well. I was just thinking recently that I need to ask mom more about his service and time in Japan. They’ll be up next week visiting, so I plan to get some info and stories then.

INGO lowers are available. I just put my name on 2 of them. I'll build them up eventually and give 1 to each kid.

I'm so glad you said that. I told myself to make good when I got home and nearly forgot. Thanks.

In for 1, Jag gets the square.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa @Ruger_Ronin.

My grandpa celebrates his 92nd birthday this year. I need to go up and see him this summer. Mom was talking to me about working from his house for a week or two, so I could spend some time with family.

Best I can do is LE's Thompson and a Barrett 82A1.
