DAILY PROMPT

Uniform

I wear a uniform in my current job as a Museum Security Guard but just like I cannot ever mention the name of my museum workplace Nor am I allowed to post photos of me in my museum uniform.  However my time in the military prepared me to deal with many of the nastier members of the general public.

United States Army Veteran

November 1977 to November 1981

Units:  569th PSC, Augsburg, Germany  & the 101st Airborne Division, Ft. Campbell, KY

BTW I was Chairborne not Airborne. Women were not allowed in combat in those days. Also some of these Cadences are a little risque. If you are overly sensitive don’t listen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

South Street Seaport and Lady Bagpiper

My brother Stephen and I spent the day at South Street Seaport after walking from 42nd Street Port Authority over to 42nd Street Grand Central Terminal. Outside of Grand Central we saw this Lovely Lady Bagpiper. First time I’ve ever seen a woman Bagpiper so after donating a dollar to her cause she obliged me with a curtsy and two photos. Beautiful and talented young lady.  In some of the photos you can see the Brooklyn Bridge. Stephen and I were able to take a tour of the Peking which is a ship built in Germany in 1911.
