Guess this shows that I am really an OLD Geezer and the M14's were not even issued yet! We did have the best battle rifle in the world though, the M1 Garand.
If nothing else, it was a good experience in following orders and respecting authority. These wildass kids out in the world now days should give it a try!
It was difficult to transfer from being an 11 Bang Bang to the nemesis, MP. But, luckily I haven't had to do any actual MP stuff on a post. Other than chicks in the unit, it hasn't been too different than some of the things I did as an 11B.You MPs kept the excitement in my life down range. I think I kept the excitement in yours too.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
I'm gonna come right out and say JTACs are badass, and that's coming from a guy whos worked with green hatters for 6 years. No homo though.

We do what we can. Rule #1: Always look like you know what you're doing.
