Time passing by!

[BlasterBob]

Yeah, the time is passing by way too quickly for this old fart. Exactly fifty six (56) years ago TODAY, I received my honorable discharge from the U.S. Army after two cool years in the frigid North - Fairbanks.. So, NO, I am not just another damn poser. You guys will also see that the older we get, the faster time seems to pass. So, enjoy your youth just as long as the ole body will allow it.

Fort Wainwright was known as Ladd AFB when I was stationed there (1956 - 58) . Fairbanks used to be a really ROUGH town on weekends with all the bar fights/stabbings etc, but not many joints were declared off-limits. During the Winters, the AP/MP's would not allow us to leave the base unless we wore parkas, Mickey Mouse boots and our arctic mittens. Didn't get dressed appropriately, you didn't get out. Also, during duty hours, no fatigues were to be worn in town.

I thank you Sir. I hope to "carry on" for at least a few more GOOD years.
