  9. In 1970 I left Ft. Ord Cal. for Vietnam. Just before I walked through the door I stopped and looked back at the ground and somehow I felt I'd never see it in the USA again. I was a paratrooper with the 101st.
    Airborne Div., 416 para-infantry regmt. Luck was never my strong.

  10. July 1977 Charleston SC USAF ROTC summer camp.

    Got scammed out of $10 while walking through OHare terminal to change planes on the way down. On the way back, I saw a guy coming, looked him in the eye and said, "Flock off Arsehole."

    He got all huffy and said, "well there's no need to be rude about it." LOL

    I chuckled all the way to my next plane.

  16. Do helicopters count? If so, Chinook touch and go takeoff and landing practice at Camp Pendleton CA in 1971 (No, I'm not a marine, but that's a different story). What a rush that was! Next flight, same year, was from the West Coast back to the East Coast. Was on a flight that had Della Reese on board.
