Been Diving

So the world's been crazy and Doc said I haven't the capacity to deal with it any longer - even with my meds. I guess my 22 yrs of active duty military service was enough to wreck me.

So, I've taken to civilian scuba diving in addition to wheelin' - you know, to tame the beast. Funny thing, civilian scuba diving; it isn't anything like military scuba- civilians have actually gotten it right. I'm not sure if you guys an dolls know this or not but Uncle Sam has a way of making what would be ordinarily exciting and turned it into nightmarish anti-fun. Like jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving - they kind of suck when you do it with Uncle Sam.

Anyway, since retirement, I've started up again as a civilian, and oh man what a difference! This is amazing as a civilian!!!!!!!! Here are some images from my most recent trip.

Funny you mentioned the difference between military and civilian diving. My father in law was a MKIV hard hat army diver and I finally got him out on some recreational diving. First words he said topside were I didn't know this could be fun!

That’s pretty cool. Something I have always wanted to do. Someday I will, too many hobbies now.
