Yes the pictures, I am as always damn proud to be a Naval Aviator but just glad I wear my wings on a Marine uniform.

I hear what you're saying .... and it goes both ways. I was heading for .... USMC-Grunt-2nd LT-go to Vietnam-speaks Vietnamese-won't be going with the "US" part of "MC"-will be seconded as advisor to RVN Marines only-probably dead in 3 months ...... when I passed the flight physical and --- Marine Aviation was not up to USN standards in those days (equipment, maintenance, boat time, life-style in general) so I went with Big Blue. Never been sorry --- the Navy is a class organization. Great tradition.

But the Marines .... ahhhhhh, tradition. :)

I'm not lazy, I'm disabled.
I like the wings below the usernames, but the white background behind them is killin me. So I made some new graphics, if you feel like using them.

The first two are the same wings, but with the blue background. The second two are the same wings with a transparent background. The last two are for Steve.

Concur. Though you have to give Webmaster some credit. He and Photoshop are not exactly two peas in a pod....if you know what I mean.

"Magic Eraser" option in Photoshop will clear out white and make it transparent. Make sure to save it as a gif, since a jpeg can't have transparency.
