Hello everyone. I'm gonna say right off the bat and say that this money is for both me and my boyfriend. We've been planning for some time now to move to Canada so we can start our new life together, and we believe that now is a good time to start. In recent weeks, my mother has been hounding me...

!!!REBLOG PLEASE! IT WILL HELP US ALOT!!!

The guys on Grindr are a whole ‘nother breed of guys I swear...

A rare sight to behold and it's now part of my collection. During WWII the United States Navy experimented with the idea of issuing garrison caps for the dungaree uniforms that could be interchangeable with the traditional dixie cup caps. The plan was eventually shelved and would never be considered again and officially died with the retirement of the dungaree uniforms in the 1990s. That wasn't to say that these caps didn't see use though. Much like the early Ike jackets, these were custom items that the sailor would have to pay for himself. They followed the same pattern as other US Navy and US Marine Corps garrison caps and fit well with the uniforms worn while at sea. These are extremely uncommon and this is actually the first time I've ever seen one in person. Knowing what it was and the fact it was only $4, I quickly snatched it up and now proudly have it in my collection with my US Navy Lieutenant's garrison cap.

Swing, have you ever heard of the Andrew sisters? I'm hoping so

Of course! Here in Equestria we've got a similar trio who go around performing. They're also a personal favorite of Princess Celestia but you didn't hear it from me.

Not the best pictures in the world, but they’re the best ones out of my old sketchbook I just found in my desk. Figured someone might enjoy seeing them.

One item I don’t show off much in my collection, mostly due to the feelings against anything Confederate in the last year, is an unissued Southern Cross of Honor. The SCH was essentially the South’s version of the Medal of Honor (which originated in the Civil War). The SCH though was never actually awarded during the Civil War, instead the first was awarded in 1900 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy who created the award and was given to Southern veterans in recognition of loyal, honorable service to the South. I picked this one up at a flea market last summer for $7 and took it to a guy I know who said it’s worth around $250 as is. A named one will typically sell for around $300-$750 depending on who it was awarded to and what battles they participated in.

Got to meet one of the original code talkers. He was a very nice man.

The Navajo language was chosen to code U.S. military operations because it has no written form and is almost impossible for non-native speakers to learn. After the operation was declassified in 1968, the Japanese Chief of Intelligence admitted that though his army had been able to decipher many U.S. codes, they were never able to crack the Navajo code.

How many bits do you make a year?

Currently at corporal, and with the bonus from being Luna's secretary, I make about 60,000 bits a year.

Any Requests?

Just to try and make my blog a little bit more lively, does anyone have any requests for stuff they want to see? More aviation posts or my military collection? Anything really?
