Happy anniversary to the both of you! 
Your pic brought back memories - this is our engagement picture - Wow...we were a lot younger and thinner then, too!

The follies of youthful self-deception.

Bob and Richard,
Congradulations and nice pictures, they add a little personality to a screen name.

Congrats to both of you gentlemen.
Utah Bob, was she gentle and allowed you to actually eat that piece of cake or did it end up everywhere other then your mouth?

Congrats on your anniversary today Sir! (It is a lucky day... )
And Wow Big Teddy, 51 years...
Have yet to find that RFL, but am always hopeful that they are out there somewhere...
If you all have any wisdom to share on how you "kept it together" for so long...am all ears!!!

And our fiancées were dumber, thank goodness! MRFL mark 21 in March. Congrats to all of us.
When folks ask me how I got a nice lady like MRFL to marry a pain like me, I tell 'em the truth. I tricked her. As long as I can trick her everyday for the rest of her life, I'll probably be okay.
God Bless gullible women!

Somebody asked me where the shotgun was. I said I didn't need it. She fell for the uniform.

From the bareness of the uniform, I would guess that the picture was taken sometime between Jump School and going to SFOC.
