Jealous?
Cap’n,,
VMI? What’s that?
Verified Meat Inspectors?
Variable Moisture Inlet?
Volatile Metal Isotope?
Visible Mutation Index?
Oh… a school, eh?
Vermont Men’s Institute?
For the record, I just deleted what I wrote, it wasn’t very nice.

You’ve got another year and a half to go, don’t you Andrew?
Congrats on breaking out.
You guys are blind, or distracted. She was dating a Pirate— don’t you see the dang parrot above her left— shoulder?
Arrggghhh!
Must be one of them politically correct parrotts, all frilly and froo-froo like. Mabybe another of the USNA sup’s changes.
I had the neighbor’s kid show me his USMA ring, once. It was of a reasonable size and not too conspicuous if its owner did not knock it on things, I think. I reckon the USNA ring is of a similarly appropriate size?
Well, somebody had to say it: Skippy, what does a Citadel ring look like?
Skippy? Steeljaw?….
Sorry, I didn’t granulate from the North Avenue Trade School, but had I done so, y’all could have gotten a good look at my ring as I picked my nose.
Y’all *have* heard that joke? Right?
I never even saw the rings……….
My eyes never made it past her neckline.
And with all due respect VMI is the other “traditional” military college-and an aggrieved victim of the SCOTUS.
Shoot…MY eyes never made it past her neckline.
Looks like this:
Citadel Class ring
- SJS (A Co/Class ‘78)
Thank you very much, Lex. And yes, another one and a half years and I’ll have my ring.
All I know is I wish I had the key to that door knob…
If you didn’t make it past her neckline, you’re missing some of the best parts.
Assuming you’re starting at the top…
If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my bunk.
HF6 – LOL.
Stone? We don’t need no stinkin’ stone!
what a crass mass of brass and glass.
What a great way to start the day!
LOL Aw1 Tim
Interestingly enough, the Citadel ring and the Clemson ring are very similar. Clemson was originally founded as a military college.
This tidbit of Carolina trivia brought to you from poolside on the Lowcountry coast. 75F and sunny…it’s just another beautiful day here in the Holy City.
MajMike, I have to agree, “what a crass mass of brass and glass”… except in my case it was gold and some red glass…
Norwich University class of 1965… similar to the rings pictured above our class ring, dictated by long tradition, was a large unwieldly bauble worn on your right hand ring finger which presented some problems if you were right-handed…the least of which were the strange skin eruptions that developed under the ring if you wore it constantly…which as a result no one did.
One classmate lost his ring during an after hours, grabb-ass, snow-ball fight on the upper parade when it went down range with the snowball…it was found in the spring… such were the problems.
Eventually and especially on active duty I wore the ring, if at all, only at formal occasions…and now I don’t wear it at all. But it was fun at the time…a rite of passage and a fond memory. Best
What an AWESOME picture (you can guess which one I am referring to)!
And I think you meant to say “VMI MAN”…
i’ve got a fake blue star sapphire (high top) on mine.
still wearing it daily.
it still has a chip on the top where i banged it on the inside of the turret while running down Tank Table VIII at Grafenwoehr. and i won’t get it fixed until after i retire, then maybe i’ll get a real stone in it.
as for the young filly, now there’s another crass of mass of something else that i forget the rest of that rhyme.
..and i got the low grade gold (10k) for the higher tensile strength. when used properly, it is remarkably efficient in removing bottle caps (needs constant practice).
..and when you graduated from Norwich, how did you avoid going Cav??
My class ring’s top is framed as a rectangle, and in sunken relief has a beaver sitting on his den. If you look closely you can see the last two digits of the class year formed by a few of the sticks. There’s no stone. It’s commonly referred to as a “Brass Rat”. It makes a handy ash tray if you have that filthy habit. The beaver was chosen because he is the natural world’s greatest engineer, and he does his best work at night.
re:If anyone needs me, I?
re:If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my bunk
And a Firefly reference too!
But you know what? And right hand up to heaven, but I swear I never noticed the parrot. John S. must be some class of psychologist (Definition: A man who, when a pretty woman walks into the room, looks at everybody else).
“…And right hand up to heaven, but I swear I never noticed the parrot…”
Gee, I wonder why?
Lex,
I notice the watermark is toplesscelebs.net… Have you been visiting the seamy side of the internet?
PS thanks for giving me a new site to bookmark
K – I didn’t notice that until it was too late to PS it out, feh!
And anyways, I got it from Google search. After first exploring, and then rejecting, combinations with Uma Thurman and Keira Knightley.
Like I do.
MajMike, A windy answer to your short question… I was commissioned in Armor out of Norwich in 65…did AOB at Knox in 66… a short stint as an XO/TO, AIT, Armor, Ft Knox…voluntered for Special Forces, branch immaterial at the time, attended Jump School, SFOC on to RVN for a year of fun and games stalking the wiley Cong…back to Knox for a year in purgatory as CO of a Tank Company … requested a Cav assignment to Europe out of Knox… OPO said no way your going back to RVN… told them nicely to piss up a rope… left active duty and eventually went to law school…joined the Reserves(as a part time job)…truly a hell on earth experience … did the Advanced Course, go figure, promoted to 0-4 and then went inactive to practice law. Never did serve in a Cav Unit, always wanted to, but as we know the needs of the Army come first… I might have stayed in if I had… now aren’t you sorry you asked ? Best
I did not even notice the door knob until I read the title of this post. Great God in Heaven she is gorgous.
The administration started some talk around our Breakout about forcing us to downsize the rings. Our class prez, Charlie Bunting, was elected on the platform of, “If we want a defused hand grenade for our class ring, then dammit, that’s what we’re going to get!”
Heady times…
Snake: ya know, after i hit the submit button, i noticed the year group you had stated, and that exact scenario played out in my mind. that’s precisely what i then envisioned had happened.
always good to have a Norwich cavalryman on either flank, and/or a Norwich SOF will do in a pinch.
if you did AOB at Knox in ‘66, i think i had your tanks in my platoon when i first got to Fort Polk in ‘84. M60A1s with the searchlights still mounted.
best.
MajMike, In 68 I indeed commanded company of M60A1s with mounted Zenon searchlights no less…32nd Armor, part of the 194th Armored Brigade. Our mission … Armor School Support… assents going every which way to be beat upon and returned to my troopers for service and repair the cycle never ended…the expected results… piss-poor morale no company coheasion or espirit and a bitch to command…hense my own personal purgatory. Best
ha! this after Slab and I showed off our bling at the milblogging conference.
Jealousy is a stinky cologne, Lex
