• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

What is this rumored "shower incident" that led to McConnell leaving the army quickly (link)..

How does someone with polio get into the army?
Army reserves. It was to make his non service in Vietnam look better.

Listen Vietnam was a meat grinder. I don't blame someone for not wanting to go.

However, don't try to take a spot on the reserves to make yourself look better.

Also, don't go in to the reserves and be messing around in the showers.

Keep your hands to yourself.
