[QUOTE="woodbooga, post: 1438686, member: 24420"] Much the same with me too. My mom is from a culture that has a lot of outward respect for the elderly (Poland) - and my dad was the town barber for a while and got to know the old timers. Kind of rubbed off on me. Aside from a wild streak, I always felt like I was in my mid-thirties as a teenager. And now that I'm lurching toward 40, I find myself identifying more with the values of them that were hardened as kids by the Depression and then heeded the call to duty after Pearl Harbor. It's only recently that some of these folks have begun talking about their experiences. There's one guy I know who was in the Mighty 8th Airforce. I can be assured of a good story anytime he looks both ways to make sure we aren't in mixed company. Tells me the same story every time, but its still funny. About what to do when nature calls when you're thousands of feet up on a mission - and the logistics involved in navigating 4" of skin through 5" of padding. :laugh: [/QUOTE]
