Re: Minolta 160 Riva Zoom
Good to see someone else besides me use a camera and post about it here. Particularly a film camera from the end of the line on film cameras of the mass market kind. You have to want to use film cameras just to see what happens and not worry about the expense of the film and the time it takes to see...

Konica Z-up 150 VP
Not exactly a camera to inspire dreams of photographic adventures and artistic creation. But... for $15 including the shipping....it was one more camera to try out. The Konica Z-up 150 VP was the top of the Z-up line with a 38-150 zoom around 2003 when it was offered. It did all the auto things like...

Re: The National Defense Ribbon is no longer awarded to trainees
My air medal came from the infantry and show me with an infantry MOS. When I got to be the acting FO the infantry company clerk wouldn't record air insertions anymore....coming from me a lowly enlisted man. I guess when an LT FO had handed them the numbers he had no problem recording them previously...

Re: The National Defense Ribbon is no longer awarded to trainees
I was given two arcoms at different times. Both were handed to me and not in any ceremony. The first because I was with the infantry and the artillery awarded it. The last one, by some level of the 101st Division, I was handed over a counter on the day I checked out of Vietnam for the World. I was t...

The National Defense Ribbon is no longer awarded to trainees
The National Defense Ribbon was a ribbon issued to all trainees of any service upon completion of basic training for many decades, including the Vietnam war. It was almost meaningless as a decoration. But now it's gone, thanks to the outgoing Biden administration. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...

Cooking with Pizzazz
A friend of mine that I participate in Skype group chats with mentioned a quicker way to cook up a frozen pizza. The subject came up because on Thursday nights cooking is relegated to fast and easy and not exactly a square meal. Pizza is a usual fall back at my house. There is a faster way than the ...

Re: So this pilot leaves one of his false legs when bailing out
I don't know anything about flying an airplane of that vintage...or any other...but didn't the pilot need legs to move some pedals that had something to do with flying the plane? Must have been some special controls set up for him if that were true. Guess when there is a war on there is no such thin...
