I saw a documentary where a WW2 boat was forced so deep that it became 25' shorter, due to compression. LOL, they retired it.
That's just mind-boggling. My hat's off to y'all.

Hmmmmm........I'm sort of on the fringe. I was a volunteer police officer for 10 years. It was a left over from WW2. Today it would come under Homeland Security. At the time, it was the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency. Basically air raid wardens. We worked disasters and as a back up to regular police agencies. Think on it and if you think I qualify, stick it on my listing.

The way I look at it is did you put your life on the line to help protect others? If so, then IMO you most definitely deserve to represent!

Thanks, but what? I worked floods, concerts, tornado response, riot control, plane crashes, I was trained in Nuclear War Response (that one bothered me seriously), hostage negotiation and I was a qualified Radiological officer. I did wear a uniform and took an oath but I wasn't military. Just trained by them. I also worked with the Coroners office a couple of times.
How you get the Space-X badge?

I just realized that we're gonna need a 'Space Force' badge eventually.

I wish, but no. I'm way too old. If I were young though, and had a shot at working in space, I would not hesitate.
I could vaporize Russki spaceships with my laser, and kill angry aliens with my pulse weapon.
I've tried to talk my grandson into enlisting, but no go.

I think not enlisting in the Air Force was the biggest mistake i have made in life.

That was part of what I did. Most of the unit was older and I was in my late 20's when I was sworn in. As such, I was closer to the action.
