Punning Pundit 4,746 Posted March 16, 2015 I just realized that a Lambda detachment could have an awesome slogan with "Pay the Ferryman". 2 Kyrios Mirage and Nightshrike reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightshrike 1,810 Posted March 16, 2015 The jacket is finished now. I'm very excited. It looks good, and I took a suggestion to use a patch adhesive rather than having them sewn on. Saved time and money and worked brilliantly. 4 DariusAPB, Punning Pundit, Mikael Hasselstein and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punning Pundit 4,746 Posted March 17, 2015 Dig it! Not sure why I'm suddenly feeling compelled to buy a pilot a beer- must be the very convincing jacket! 2 DariusAPB and Nightshrike reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightshrike 1,810 Posted March 17, 2015 I'm definitely going to get Imp officer's trousers and one of their hats and wear this jacket with those things to the premier later this year. 1 Punning Pundit reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critias 877 Posted March 17, 2015 Looks super cool. Maybe a plain gray t-shirt, like Juno Eclipse wore under it? Simple color scheme, iconic look...awesome! 1 Nightshrike reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WonderWAAAGH 7,153 Posted March 17, 2015 So tempting! The 80s child in me can't help but conceive of them as the stack of pizza discs used by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza launcher wagon my brother had when we were little. I had a serious thirst for that thing back in the day. I remember my folks taking me to Toys R Us and thinking to myself what an insurmountable amount of money thirty bucks was. It was asthma that kept me out of serving. I found out the hard, sucky, un-fun way; while at Ft. Leonard Wood, halfway through BCT. I had bronchitis throughout, and went on sick call one time too many. They were checking my lung capacity and breathing out of a concern for pneumonia (since I'd been sick for so long), and instead that turned into asthma tests, and next thing I knew, I was on my way home, deemed physically unfit for military service. I'm not sure if you should be happy or upset. I also got bronchitis while in basic, and wouldn't have even done anything about it if everyone in the barracks hadn't been royally upset by my nightly coughing fits. The first time I went to sick call they handed me cough drops and wished me luck; the second time I had been coughing up flecks of blood, and they wanted to keep me for a week. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) one of the drill sergeants showed up that same day and took me back, and I got a serious grilling and some threats about being recycled. It was something of an inauspicious start for a 6 year military career in the airborne infantry. If I could share with you all of my pain and misery during that time, you might consider yourself lucky to have escaped a similar fate. Then again, not everyone in the military is destined to serve in the 82nd. 3 Kyrios Mirage, Mikael Hasselstein and Nightshrike reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
