Re: Military Talk
Aren't there any nurses out there in TOTV land? There were so many of us going through basic that I thought for sure some would have found there way to TV.

Re: Military Talk
Are there any veterans in TV that served in the 9th Infantry Division of the US Army?
I served with the 1st/11th Artillery and 3rd/34th Artillery. I was in Nam, at Bearcat and Dong Tam in '67. When I was with the 3rd/34th Arty, in Dong Tam, we were attached to the Riverine Force, in the Delta. The Navy would tow our 105's up the river, we would anchor the rafts, and provide fire support to the infrantry units in the area. Then the Navy would tow us back to our base at Dong Tam.

Re: Military Talk
Pajames, Sounds like you packed a lot of action into two years. On land and sea. Thanks for your service. I also agree the draft should be in place but not all will agree.

Re: Military Talk
JohnnyM,
Thanks, I'm glad you agree with the view of the draft. This country is free today because of the all who served in the Military, many of those were drafted. I ran across a web site the other day listing all of the Medal of Honor soldiers. The web site is as follows; http://www.history.army.mil/moh.html. If you get a chance, visit it and read what each hero did to receive this country's highest honor. These soldiers are true hero's. Most gave their life so other could live. Thanks for you service to our country. |

pajames:
Thanks for the link the the Medal of Honor website - bookmarked it I went to Germany on the MSTS Patch from Brooklyn to Bremen in 7 days during December 1964. Had us bunked in hammocks 5 high in the cargo hold, guy on the bottom was inches from the floor and the guy on the top was up with the ductwork. Great trip across the North Atlantic in the winter - rockin and rollin the whole way http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Patch

Re: Military Talk
I posted this earlier on a different thread but thought a lot of our military guys might have missed it so I repeated the posting here:
A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by. The jet jockey decided to show off. The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, 'watch this!' and promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that? The C-130 pilot said, 'That was impressive, but watch this!' The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on and said 'What did you think of that?' Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, 'What the heck did you do?' The C-130 pilot chuckled. 'I stood up, stretched my legs, went to the back, took a pee, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun. When you are young and foolish - speed and flashy may be a good thing. When you get older and smarter - comfort and dull is not such a bad thing.!! |
