Had a lot of tough construction jobs, under ground, moving dirt , paving, etc. I heard a lot of " Chuck can do it"...from the crew and management.
Never thought much about it.

I've had some real nice compliments here on the campfire. Never a harsh word or even a cross tone. Nothing but polite interactions. Such a nice group of people. Hey Mr. Passive Aggressive found his way back!! HOWDY STRANGER!

Most of the time, the compliment matters less than who it comes from. IMO

Recently a friend passed away. Many people showed up at his memorial service. At an appropriate time I stood up and spoke about my friend, mentioning some anecdotes about his antics, and sharing some personal feelings and thoughts about our friendship and times together.
After the ceremony his son approached me to say how proud he was that his dad had a friend like me.

I was receiving my first 6 month evaluation. In writing, my supervisor told me that my presence “was like a breath of fresh air” in our section! 7mm

From my days at the landfill my coworkers- Nugget you aren’t the brightest are you??
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The greatest compliment I ever received was from a 24HCF member. Years ago I trained a Mobility Assistance Service dog for a Wounded Warrior. 24HCF members donated generously-especially the Vietnam vets and I was able to pay all his vet and equipment expenses. 24HCF members followed his progress for 14 months till I was able to place him with his Marine. I received many compliments on this but one in particular still chokes me up....from a Vietnam combat veteran I will never forget. " There will be a place for you wherever warriors gather..." This was the dog " Chesty Puller" the day I brought him home to begin training... Wow. that chokes me up

I have received a couple great honors, one I can share.
It was when a friend passed away, a friend I admired greatly for his integrity and bravery, I saw him "make things right" and he kept it to himself, as will I, but........when he passed away, it was about a month afterwards his son came over and gave me all his dads guns, some were his grandads guns, then handed me a small pouch of tobacco as an offering and appreciation of our friendship, we are both Native. Powerful

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

One of them, I had to fly with an aircrew from Mildenhall back to Tinker AFB to pick up my airplane that was in for depot maintenance and a paint job. We had to wait a couple of days before the airplane to be released, finally cleared for the flight back home. I usually sat in the IP seat for takeoff and landings. During takeoff out of Tinker I noticed that the egt (exaust gas temperature) on one of the engines was running hot, right at the limits. The other three engines were lower, where you would normally expect them. We flew to Pease AFB where we'd depart for Mildenhall the next evening. I mentioned to my AC that the engine got hot on takeoff but was in normal range during the rest of the flight. He didn't write it up in the aircraft forms. We departed the next night, same results. We had a VIP onboard for a PAX so I gave up my seat and slept for most of the flight across the pond. Once we were on the ground and parked I told the AC about the engine again which he mentioned to maintenance at the debriefing. I was off for a couple of days, when I returned to work the pilot and copilot were there waiting for me. An aircraft returning from depot has to go through a phase inspection which is also an acceptance inspection. Jet shop did a borescope inspection on the hot section of the engine that was running hot, they found a burn can that was ready to disintegrate. The pilot handed me a letter of accommodation, told me he would never question my judgment again.

Not too long ago my bride told me I was the best thing that ever happened to her.
After 27 years of marriage, I’ll take the praise.
