Description
I missed doing anything the 1st, so instead I'll just inflict this on you.... This is what happens when: 1. I'm going through a ton of old photos, and 2. I'm in a really silly mood.
Yeah, that's me waaaaay back when. I was young. I was in the Air Force. I was really, really bored. I'm not much of a drinker, so I can't even blame alcohol for this... Just plain, unbridled, non-fat, gluten-free silliness. And to think, that Vader guy thinks he was the first to dress up in a gas mask and helmet. And I didn't even have to get my legs cut off and be set on fire to do this. So, nyah, nyah, Vader! You're second fiddle to me, bro - and don't try any of that force-choke nonsense on me because I.....ccckkkk....gag......cchhhkkkk........
THUD.
Heavy breathing...

Impressive !!!
too cool and too funny! Great photo!
Come over to the Dark Side; We have cookies!
Great shot of you, Rod! I love the silliness, and the lunging pose, and the mask, and "Remove Before Flight". Funny stuff with serious equipment! I also love the black and white, and the harsh light and shadow. It's definitely the kind of shot we took when we were younger. And if this is what comes of all your rummaging, keep rummaging---maybe I've got an old photo from that time. Big, lunging and fun. Darth V has nothing on this.
COOL SHOT
Rod, did you in fact remove that before flight? And does that thing fall under the same jurisdiction as the mattress tags that do not remove under penalty of law? Does this mean we have a multinational bedding and tag police???
Damn son, I'm glad I hang upsides under!
You look pretty cool Rod!!! Nice photo!!
HAHA! What a fun memory to have in your files... or....that was before we had them as files LOL!
Silliness is good for us!!! super photo, THANKS for sharing, DarthRodS
It's Gas Mask Tuesday! This is an excellent reminder that everybody should practice putting on their emergency bio suits and hoods today. LOL! I'm kidding! Awesome picture, buddy!
Cool vintage shot of you in younger days, but I still think you have the silly mood my friend, just at a diff level at your age. Shot is super and I have one of those also. Thanks for sharing, lots of snow here today.
DAYUM!! You're gonna be digging out until sometime in July......
Gigglin'.
Why did I just discover this post right now, when everyone else has come up with all my silliness lines? Sheesh! But STILL, a LOAD of fun. Darth inVader can jump off the Death Star observation gallery! Oh, nuts, not even that will work - there's no gravity in space outside of the Dead Star (it did wind up dead, didn't it?). I suspected it was you in the photo, but not at what age. Keep rummaging! One always finds something cool or interesting in one's OWN attic or basement or garage, or....(EEK! What's THAT, there, under the bed!)... Keep up the good work! :-) PS - when are they going to start rummaging after gall stones? Looking forward to a beautiful photo of the results of that rummaging!
SWEET!... I bet you could say " Luke... I am your grandfather!... " it's great to see the silly things one did in the past!! excellently done!
PHEW, and here I thought you had just come out of the bathroom....Good one!
Lol

very humorous and thanks for serving your country.awesome that you was able to survive the military
LUV your take on silliness Rod. Such a fun and awesome photo. my friend.
The ash tray in the background may provide a clue as to Darth's irregular breathing....
As former USAF (SAC), I don't recall ever seeing this equipment, but I hope it was effective, as were seat belts in our C-47 while landing in the Azores atop a 60 mph side wind.
But this is silly, so I will point everyone in that direction >

Holy cow! Landing a Gooney in a 60mph side wind??? I'll bet THAT was an unforgettable ride!
Yeah, Vader had a bit of a 'smoke inhalation' issue, but I don't think it was from cigarettes.... Fortunately that's one habit I never picked up.
Interesting and Stunning image! !!
We all need a bit of humour in our lives Rod !!
A fun pic, Rod! Too bad Vader isn't known for a sense of humor.
Giggling, BTW, Who is this handsome guy, RodS-san?
Amazing my friend !!!
LMAO-ROFL! Thank's for the giant giggle dear Rod!
The Terrifyng Horror in Syria remind people to the Horor of Killer Gas in WW1 & WW2! Very Well Picture and documentation!
Great excentric humor!
