I won't hold that against you.I'm a baby then, I was in first grade.
I missed out on the fun in Vietnam, too short to go with my unit. What was your M.O.S? I wound up as an artillery surveyor, a "153.00"When I came to I saw about every fifth guy fall to the floor! Remember the three "gun" injections or didn't they use those yet in '63?
Yep, you're right. And C-1-3 was near the mess hall if I remember correctly. My drill seargeant was a wirey old guy from Alabama or Tennesee or some place like that. Funny, I can't remember his name. I do remember a couple of the other's: Sgt. Bechtold and Sgt Barbie.
We had one like that in Vietnam and the guys in his tent gave him the treatment with a wire brush. He and his clothes were filty and his teeth were green! I'll think of his name in a minute.
Ah, to be "short"! ETS!I missed out on the fun in Vietnam, too short to go with my unit.
That question is too personal. Maybe I'll show you my DD-214 some day. OK?What was your M.O.S?
True. We are at death's door, but our doctors are trying to pull us through.Because this might be the last time for us to be heard?
Did you have a "shorttimers" calender?Ah, to be "short"! ETS!

I saw Chicago and Leon Russell in Albuquerque around that time. I didn't really want to see Leon Russell but there was this girl ..... you know?I saw Led Zeppelin at MSG in 1973
In Vietnam I did. And I thought they forgot me. I was there one year and two days before I got my port call!Did you have a "shorttimers" calender?
No problem.I hope your DD-214 wasn't tarnished.
it was a plane crash..Waylon Jennings was suppose to be on that flight but gave his seat up to the big booperCar crash? I thought he was in the airplane with Richtie Valens and the Big Bopper
While stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX we went to an American owned club in Mexico, about 40 miles south, and saw Lena Horne singing with a small band. A really nice place but there was hardly anyone else there. Strange.I saw Chicago and Leon Russell in Albuquerque around that time. I didn't really want to see Leon Russell but there was this girl ..... you know?
A tragic and ignominious end to a superstar, and the end of a musical and social era. Enter the Beatles, screaming instead of singing, and drugs.it was a plane crash..Waylon Jennings was suppose to be on that flight but gave his seat up to the big booper
I took a gf to see Blackmore's Rainbow first US tour at Beacon Theater in NY, loudest concert Ive ever attended, still not sure how the Beacon Theater withstood it. Agreed not to take her to anymore concerts after thatI saw Chicago and Leon Russell in Albuquerque around that time. I didn't really want to see Leon Russell but there was this girl ..... you know?
I was stationed at Sandia Base ("consolidated", that doesn't exist by that name any more) in Albuquerque. I've been to Juarez many, many times.While stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX
Very strange.... we went to an American owned club in Mexico, ..... and saw Lena Horne ..... but there was hardly anyone else there. Strange.
It was the women who were screaming, although the Beatles eventually did have much to do with the popularity of drugs..... Enter the Beatles, screaming instead of singing, and drugs.
I was a weeknight. The place would likely be crowded on the weekends. Drinks were also cheap, but would likely not be on the weekends.I was stationed at Sandia Base ("consolidated", that doesn't exist by that name any more) in Albuquerque. I've been to Juarez many, many times.
Very strange.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.It was the women who were screaming, although the Beatles eventually did have much to do with the popularity of drugs.
We went there to buy liquor. Went into a Mexican bar there. It was like Mexico's version of "Deliverance". Real characters that looked like they came right out of central casting. We downed our tequila and got the hell out of there.I was stationed at Sandia Base ("consolidated", that doesn't exist by that name any more) in Albuquerque. I've been to Juarez many, many times.
Very strange.
