U.S. Army Infantry 97-00 1/23 Infantry, Fort Lewis 1/9 Manchu Infantry, South Korea I can't say I'm too happy about everyone in the Army wearing black berrets. It used to be a coveted symbol of the Army Rangers. Instead of going to Ranger school I decided to play steel guitar full time. . . besides the Army wouldn't let me grow my hippie hair out like it is now. http://www.geocities.com/elevenhundred/newyear2003033.jpg |

USAF Mar 22, 1966- Jan 5, 1970 Basic at Lackland Tech school at Chanute Nellis, Las Vegas Korat, Korat, Thailand Tinker, Oklahoma City, OK Jet engine mechanic. Honorable Discharge as Staff Sergeant. I notice there's a lot of "fly-boys" amongst the forum ranks, including my hero BA. I'm really enjoying your cd's! If you haven't heard Bryan Adams, you need to give a listen to some good, pure country steel!! |

New guy to this forum; and an old Army guy. Twenty-four years active duty, ('58-'82), literally all over the world. Great career/tough profession, but no regrets. Wish he hadn't, but eldest grandson is following in my footsteps. He's currently in Germany after his first tour in Iraq, but scheduled to return later this year. |

Basic training Ft Leonard Wood...Steno school Ft Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis then off to Vietnam with the 199th Inf Brigade..Was there for the Tet offensive... Before the Tet offensive played guitar and vocals with a group called the Cavaliers...We played all over the place... Bennie Summers from Oklahoma on steel guitar...When I joined the band I missed playing with Doug Jernigan by two weeks...Doug had just been sent up north...Several other musicians passed through the band while I was there...Bill Powell on elec bass, Dean Lewis on elec bass (from somewhere in Mo), Don Orr a Texas drummer, Pete Ramirez also from Tx on rhythm guitar and vocals...Would be great to hear from any of those guys...We had a great time of playing country music til the Tet offensive hit and then it was back to the real reason we were there....Thanks for listening...

U.S.Navy. As a "shipfitter", I spent a few years playing a pipe wrench. Not bad, but once was enough. A word of advice for anyone seeking a "sterling" career in the Navy - don't get drunk in Hong Kong and steal a rickshaw. They frown on that over there. In 1970 the going price for a stunt like that was: a few hours in the brig, $32 American (it got away from me and ran in front of a truck - with Jo Jo Johnson still in it), 30 days swabbing the after engine room, and a quick trip back to E-3. They told me that I had a real good time though!! Jimmie |

When I took a trip to Holland in 76 I was taken by two things. One was the regular soldiers being able to only wear one item of military clothing to be "in uniform'. Two was the way the Marchuisse( spelling? for Special Forces) handled the Molukkan Train Siege. Nobody to mess with to be sure. Also recently I noticed the USAF changed it's rank for the top three to top stripes. Msgts used to have three stripes below the star. Three stripers are no longer buck sgts as was I.. I'm such an old fogey.. EJL |
