Alrighty then!
After perusing the contents of this
thread I am convinced everyone here is handsomer, prettier, better armed, and most likely much brighter than am I.
I humbly submit some pics through the years:

1984: First was the Army. Second from left.

1989: A little bit later. Let's try the Navy this time.

1998: Navy must be good, I'm getting "pleasantly plump"

With daughter. She's 6 in the pic.

Hallelujah. Got that brat out of high school and into college.

2013: Careful diet, exercise, a monastic lifestyle and good clean living have all resulted in the fine specimen of humanoid before you today.
I made the sign blank. Feel free to put in your own remarks. Might I suggest "I'm with stupid" and an upward pointing arrow
