In WWII, yes. It’s customary to refer to refer to someone who’s served honorably in the armed forces by their military rank, even if their service was many years ago.
The beloved Zen master Zhaozhou (“Joshu” in Japanese) is reported to have lived 120 years (778–897 CE). Many famous Zen stories involve him.
On one occasion, when asked, “What is Buddha?”, he replied, “The oak tree in the courtyard.”
On another, when asked whether it was really the case that the Tao — Living Truth — was present in all things, even piss and dung, he said, “Yes.” The questioner then said that that was a realization he’d like to experience. Zhaozhou replied, “Don’t tempt me.”
I once saw a billboard advertising internet safety by showing a picture of what was supposed to be a “creepy stalker” model. Who would sign up for that job? “NOW HIRING: CREEPY GUY TO SCARE PEOPLE ABOUT THE INTERNET.” Billboard FAIL!!!!!
100yo sheesh.. No wonder America is in so much debt. This womans been getting a state and military pension for half her adult life.
Hasn’t anyone seen Logans Run. If it wasn’t for this woman and her friends we could all have our hearts desire. LOL
Yeah, don’t blame the politicians who should have seen it coming a long time ago. Don’t blame top-level financial decision-makers who actually had their hands in it. Don’t blame the millions of Americans who believed they can sustain spending way more than they earn through the magic of mortgages, long-term loans, refinancing etc. – no, it’s this woman’s fault who didn’t have the decency to die as soon as she finished serving her country.
And don’t blame the dozens of Republican Senators, Representatives, and Presidential Appointees who worked so tirelessly for decades to reverse the banking industry regulations which had been put in place after the Great Depression and which had been preventing this sort of collapse since then.
Besides, who says you can’t have endless growth and endless inflation and endless pay raises and endless job growth? All it takes is magic!
She could have started out enlisted, then 14 years later went to OTS and got her commissioning. That’s actually pretty common, for all we know. So 16+4=20 which is usually how many years before people retire from the military.
mortified
Well preserved
Sponsored by a funeral home…
She’s almost dead…
so wait, she’s a lieutenant?

O…o
I see what you did there.
It’s funny, but yet…I’m not surprised.
It’s the centinarianment that counts.
Appropriate sponsorship win?
… until she can go to meetings with her Higher Power.
Your soul belongs to us now. Don’t worry. We’ll wait.
ditto
^5!
5 dollar!
For sucky, su….Oh wait. That’s not appropriate here.
5 dollar FOOT LOOOONNNNG!
But for how long?
If she’s already 100, I can’t !magine they’d have to wait all that long…
They may have to wait as long as *gasp* twenty years.
Hey, it could happen. And it has!

Did anyone else think it said “condom”?
Yes, and how unfortunate that business name would be for a funeral home. But, that’s just where my mind is today.
