Heaven. In Salem, OR today. Finally pinned on my last rank for the OR Guard before I retire in a coulple years. Had to provide "refreshments" and since it was a early morning promo ceremony I had the great idea to do a table full of biscuits and a gravy fountain. Saw it here on the Hide. I thought it was a smashing idea, true to OR logger and redneck values.

Command poo poo'd the idea. Something about cross contamination and getting everyone sick sharing a gravy fountain. Cowards. So the Joe's had to settle for boxes and boxes of fresh donuts and coffee. Least I could since they had to stand there for a ceremony.

Congratulations!

Thank you. Long time coming. Got 28 yrs so far. Plan on going to 30. Man does it go fast. Now I have an excuse to buy myself a promo present. I learned here from the Hide a Colt gold cup national match series 70 from the 1960s is a mighty fine present. Now I just got to save my shekles and then find one.

All my fellow officers chipped in and we bought one for a well respected Colonel when he retired a couple years ago.

Wouldn't a Colt 1911 from the '60s just be a 1911 since the Series 70 designation is for models post-'71?

You know. I never thought of that. I could have sworn the Colt Gold Cup NM we found for COL was a 1962. It didn't say series 70 on it. Beautiful handgun and he is pleased with how it shoots. He used to be on the TAG pistol team.
