There was a guy on the base I worked at when I was in college and a civilian employee. Probably 42-45 which seemed old at the time to whom EVERYONE gave total respect and deference to all the time. Even the base commander and any and all dignitaries that came to the base. He was very nondescript, wore glasses but still in great shape. One day I asked what the deal was and the response I got was simply this: XX confirmed kills in Viet Nam. I won't put the number up but it was jaw dropping.
Total badass but as humble as you can imagine.

You actually look very close the mental image I had of you. Very handsome and dapper with a little devil in the eye.

That's been a description for my whole life! When in college, I was walking with 2 of my best friends...also engineering students when one of our HS classmates sees us and says, "Look at the 3 scholars" and then amended it saying, "Make that 2.5 scholars...MK has a bit of a wild streak." I've tamed it a bit but every once in a while...

Mom's skintone, eyes and nose. Dad's head shape and chin. Equal share of brains, thank God. I won the parent lottery. Best ever!!

I can't believe you have kept hidden all this time and denied us that! Props to you. I have plenty of pics from the neck down posted in the fitness thread, but I don't want to post face pics because of personal reasons. I don't even allow my photos to be posted on FaceBook by my family. Now_Rudi and Turkish Pickle have seen my face on Linked In though.

Thank you for the kind words. I love my guys I aged a little, the last picture was 6 years ago. I don't have any recent pictures of just me and the SO being LEO is internet shy so I can't post pics of us together. And I suck at selfies. I'll try doing some selfies and get one up.
