I posted this somewhere before but can't find it.
Believe it or not, I'm 21 years old here in basic training 1967. I was called 'the ultimate weapon':
Pilgrim, you look SO innocent...

What years was he onboard?
I'm showing my age. Anyway, before the modern age of digital cameras..........
I'm the one second from the right in the second row of recruits (next to the big guy).
This about early '91 on an exercise somewhere in the Omani desert just before Desert Shield became Desert Storm.
I got out in late '93.

We were "lucky" enough to have a photographer along for most of my BCT... some good pics in here if anyone is interested in what happens in a "modern" Army BCT.

remember your first morning coming out of the hooch in Kuwait? It was looking right at a welder, then when you staggered back into the hooch to fing your eyepro, your totally blind, tripped over everyone on the way back to where you thought your rack was, only to find it isnt. The only thing worse was when the damn generator broke down. it went from refridgerator to oven in 5 minutes.
buhering was the suck.

Here is a picture that I took of the Provost Marshall's secretary Danielle out on NEO Alert maneuvers
somewhere in the French wilderness. It was a tough life, but someone had to do it!![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Damn, she's probably in her late 60's now but she's French so she probably held up pretty good.

This has to be my favorite thread!
Thanks for all the great pictures.....Keep them coming!
I have an unexplainable amount of appreciation for all soldiers, the very least I can say is Thank you for serving.

Wow, haven't seen any "TEDs" "= Tactical Eye Devices" for a long time!
Did you go to Basic at Fort Dix? If so, So did I.
We called them BCG's in the Marines. Birth Control Glasses.
That's what we called them also.

This is a picture taken in East Berlin in 1985, looking West through the Brandenburg gate. I was in 3-7 Cav, patrolling the E/W German border, and the Squadron's officers made a trip to Berlin every year or two to photograph the Soviet military equipment during their parades. That's the East German flag you see.
The white wall seen behind the gate was Die Mauer - The Wall.

Nice. Hubby and I were both stationed in Berlin. We were Field Station. We left Jan 85. Lots of fond memories there.
That was one "AWESOME" SAW! It ran like a sewing machine. Hot or cold, clean or dirty, with blanks or live rounds, through magazines or with linked belts. In addition, it never ran away!
There is a military axiom that states; never initiate and ambush with an open-bolt weapon. This weapon was the exception. It went BANG every time. (I mean BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!!!)
M- 249 SAW, S/N: 005512, Rack # 15 – Will always be a fond memory!
This weapon made being an Automatic Rifleman a delight!
