Not The Wild West butttt..... During Operation Allen Brook at Go Noi Island/ Liberty bridge op. ( may 68) I was sent to the LZ of 3/27. To hump ammo for Echo 2/27 and others , wandered over to their(3/27) Bn. CP area one night and they were showing ' the Green Berets " . . . everyone was rolling around laughing when we took about the usual 6- 8 82mm rounds. . . . "axxholes and elbows " no one hurt but a really great night. . . . ahhh ,the power ( craziness ) of youth.

Anyone else here skip school in their senior year, hitchhike to the Recruiter Station to join @ 17 years old with a direct assignment overseas or am I out here alone?

25 miles South from me. In active duty back in the early 80's 2/32 at The Rock was our partnership Bn.
Right here! Only I left 2 weeks after I graduated high school at 17.
My buddy from Basic and AIT went to the Rock when we shipped over and got out duty assignment at the Reception BN in Frankfurt.

So no kidding I did the same thing looking at his posts, but then I saw he worked at "EB" which I assume is Electric Boat. So-former Army, did civilian work for Navy crap.
His MOS was TOW missile repair. The other stuff sounds familiar.
