Fever broke still feel like crap

Still and improvement, though.

 

[SciFiFan]

The county I work in has issued a stay at home / work safe order. However, I am considered essential personnel due to working in the Transportation sector so, no staying home for me.

Good to hear the fever broke. Stay safe and see ya on the other side my friend.

 

[Hellkite]

What I did today I spent my morning assembling a AR-15 (5.56 mm NATO ) Stripped Lower Receiver with a 6 Position Collapsible Stock from a parts kit to fully functional . Yep

 

[kjc733]

Well, if you are in possession of any toilet rolls you may need it!

Feeling alot better still have the cough but the headache is eased off.

 

[Archonon]

Glad to learn you are feeling a little bit better Hellkite, hope that continues quickly to full recovery.

Growing up in a military family, to all the vets; no folks I respect more than those that wear the uniform. My old man flew choppers in the Army during 'Nam and my grandfather was a Sergeant in WW2.

I was not permitted to join the Devil Dogs due to a medical, so to your pops Hellkite, Semper Fi.

 

[Hellkite]

Thanks Archonon ,

He would have reciprocated with a Semper Fi.

Sadly he pass 14 year ago. from cancer and a heart attack that was linked to his service in Vietnam
""Agent Orange""

Both side of my Family are Military family mostly historically from U.S. Army. My father like me did not want to be "the old man's son" so he went to a different branch.

When I did it real piss him off when I turned down Anapolis for Colorado Springs , but to be far I did the same to Westpoint. To which my mother was fine with given her father was in the first officer group that transferred from the US Army to the Airforce in September 1947.

So I'm Military stock born and bred

 

[SciFiFan]

My Grandpa was Army and my Dad was Air Force. I joined the Army to honor my Grandpa. He seceded in WW2 European theatre I believe. My Dad volunteered to the Air Force before being drafted so he had a choice of where to go. They stopped sending troops to Vietnam just before he graduated from tech school. I came close to being deployed to Bosnia but the Squadron (I was Cavalry so our unit structure is different from the rest of the Army) I was in was the one selected to stay at post (Ft Polk, LA).

I have several family members that served in various branches.

 

[Hellkite]

"Ft Polk, LA"

LOL

Who did you piss off at Basic or AIT to get posted there?
It's the most West Virginian part of Louisiana that saying something . You know 20k people three to five last names deal.

---------
Felt good enough to good for a 2k run did not get winded today think I'm out of the woods,

I'm more than likely still contagious.

 

[SciFiFan]

Most of my training unit went there. Wasn't all bad though, as it's only a three hour drive to home.

 

[Hellkite]

I can't say that about mine it was a 10 hour Flight my first station was Aviano Italy just north of Venice and oddly enough I did go to Bosnia several times in 1995 for Operation Deliberate Force then was air support or the Implementation Force (IFOR) until 1996 then I went to Yokota Air Force Base in Fussa, Japan

lol funny you got to stay home and be rear D my friend

 

[SciFiFan]

Wasn't all bad. I did get to go spend three months in Peru working in the US Embassy there.

Us Aussies call it bog roll too lol

 

[Hellkite]

far enough I stand corrected

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Well ...

According to the test I took at the VA ... I have Covid-19

It feels like the flu/ cold at this point ... but should be okay I'm in good shape for my age .

So I have quarantined myself away from my family and took up residence in the apartment above my garage for the time being.

Yep Bachelor pad time for this old boy

I am a bit late but I am glad to hear that you are improving.

As for my area, I have had to socialize more in the last month than I did the previous six months combined. I was used to 0200 Wal-Mart runs. Now everything closes. I am finishing my Master's degree online in the next couple months. After that I have nothing. I think my family is convinced that my PTSD might cause me to shoot someone really soon. Eh, Not much else to do anymore.

 

[Hellkite]

Know the feeling Frog

and now my son as covid im hopeful that it will be a light case for him it was mesery for me.

I hope that it is a quick recovery for him and that the rest of the family can stay in the clear.

I have continued to work with our outreach to keep providing services to the homeless and less fortunate around here. My mother is the director and people keep warning her to stop because she is at higher risk. Her response is that it is her responsibility to help others no matter the circumstances.

I am just curious how long it will be before the news starts telling stories of people who staved to death because they couldn't work. Stopping the spread of any virus is important. The base stupidity in others helped spread this thing to good people (like you and your family) that never should have had it.

If I ended up with it I wouldn't make the stupid choice I did when the VA tried to kill me by shutting down my kidneys this last year. I was less than 24 hours from death had I not returned to the VA. I would just stay home and let it take me but I have pretty much outlived my usefulness. Six more months and I will be done with everything I am supposed to do.

 

[Hellkite]

"Six more months"

You have decades left to live my good Frog. beside your not a grandfroger yet



I know what is like to have a life of service it gets ingrained into your being almost impossible to stop. Good for her and you my friend.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

My kids have my luck on dating. I don't see grandchildren coming for awhile. LOL

Damn you don't get a break atm do you mate. Best wishes he recovers fast.

 

[Terra_Inc]

I'm really sorry to hear you had to go through this, Hellkite. Hope your son is doing well.

 

[Hellkite]

Thanks Terra

He is for him it was like a bad cold nothing more for him his is back out play ball and fishing.
It can not be said for my Wife and daughter they are going thru it now. and are held up in the apartment above my garage were my son and I were.

both are doing alright for now

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I am glad to read they are doing fine, I hope they will also have a swift recovery, just remember that surviving the sickness does not make you fully immune.
