When did you become a Cowboys fan?

Wow.....alot of Social Security, military pensions, disability checks and viagra in this crowd.

Keep trucking!

Respect

Guilty except for disability checks. I’m one of those affected by the Camp Lejeune water so that may change. LOL.

Always have been a fan since as long as I can remember.

I've seen in an article that military disability is at a very high level.

If I remember correctly its something like 30+% of all veterans are collecting VA disability and of that group 30% are at 100% disability benefits.

My question is what is happening to these poor folks? As war is progressively being waged with drones/technology instead of "boots on the ground" one would think that the disabilities would actually decrease.

I have no side here except that I'm personally pro-military and just concerned about the men and women that defend us

Additionally, we should also be concerned with the increasing number of vet suicide which I understand is 18 per day

Was it the summer of 69?

Quit it, Bryan Adams.

My grandson played peewee football with Eddie LeBaron, so when Dallas picked him up I became a fan.

1966, but more so after the Ice Bowl in 1967.

My boy, Romo got me hooked. I'm too young to really remember the 90s dynasty but my brother (7 years older) experienced it, and I got my fandom from him. But to answer the question, probably a casual fan when we sucked in the late 90s/early 2000s, but then once Parcells came in, I started being a real fan. By 2006, at age 21, especially after Romo took over, I was all in. That's why Romo will forever be "my boy".

I wouldn't have guessed you were so "seasoned".

Great thread @saturdaysarebetter! Thanks!

Cool to get an idea of everyone's Cowboys origin stories.
