I love takin that Jab at the 1st Kevlar Div oops, Worst Cav, er I mean 1st Cav.

Hey Lt, help me find the soft spots on the Armor, sure it's easy sir, ya just take this ballpeen hammer and tap the armor, every time you hear the metal make an odd sound you mark an X with this white chalk.

Man was my PSG pissed over that one, had to wash the damn track and mucho push ups, but it was worth it. The Idiot Ringknocker had about 3/4's of the side of the Bradley covered in X's. Bored Cpl's are not a good thing, we find our own way to make schit fun.

Ol' Sgt. Mason used to love getting all up in the trainee's face's when they had to go on sick call because they picked up a dose of the clap from a prostitute at one of the club's in Leesville, La. He would would get nose-to-nose, eyeball to eyeball with them, flash his big toothy grin and tell them thanks for their donation to his personal savings account. He said if they didn't believe him to just write down the serial numbers of their money the next time they go there and he would show it to them in formation the next morning.

Leesville, man I have fond memories of that place. I am one of the Sicko's that actually enjoyed Fort Polk. But I was there during 5 I.D.'s reign. Tis where i got my Combat patch from.

Back in the late 60's on most weekend night's Leesville was about as wild and woolly as I would imagine any gold rush town, old west cattle town, or mountain man Rendezvous ever was. Back then the military paid cash money once a month and a healthy, red blooded young trainee could build up a whole lot of internal pressure between paydays, so needless to say it could get especially rowdy there on payday.

Used to say that when I was in the wun-oh-worst, aka "the silly millimeter division". Then I served time in the 1st Cav and found out they always bled from the front. Korea was a long time ago..

Then there's the 1st ID: "If you're gonna be one, you might as well be a Big Red One."

Memory a little fuzzy but:

25th ID, The electric strawberry
4th ID, Rollin' doughnut
101st Abn, Pukin' buzzard

Verse of a song popular in Eagle country and probably modified to suit elsewhere:

Oh Phu Bai, oh Phu Bai, It's one helluva place!
The organization's a f--king disgrace!
There's captains and majors and light colonels too,
with thumbs up their [bleep] and nothing to do.
They stand on the runway, they scream and they shout!
About all those things they know nothing about!
For all of their trouble they might as well be,
a-shovelin' chit in the South China Sea.

There's more but I'll spare ya....

Anyone ever serve in the 1/Last Cav?

Don't get excited on your first enlistment.

Do as I say, not as I do.

If I remember correctly-civilians were feather merchants and business men were the local bond holders.

This ain't Hell but you can see it from here.

Rubbed shoulders now and again with 5th SOG CCN. The wore a patch that was as chilling as it was bizarre. Can't find an image that can be posted here. They were some stone cold beasties on their best of days. Almost as bad as these fellas...



Sorry, there's nothing funny here, just legends not forgotten.

You boocoo dinky dau GI....

All day, all night, five dollah.

This Jody:
Birdy birdy in the snow...birdy birdy in the snow
Broken wing and broken toe...broken wing and broken toe
Gave that bird a crust of bread...gave that bird a crust of bread
Then I crushed his f...ing head.

The response of one of our J.O's in VF 151 being debriefed by the LSO's after a night bolter on the Midway. "I was doing alright 'til I f...ked up."

If you're trying to accelerate in afterburner and you're not at zero "G", you're wasting gas.

Im sure I'll think of some more.

It were a song, and if drunk enough some would dance along.

Di Di Mau the hell outta here!

C-130 Crashing at Katum in '68...



The fire on the left wing is barely visible in this picture. The feathered number one prop is obvious. At this point, the front of the aircraft, missing the nose gear, has not yet contacted the runway, but the right side of the fuselage has just started dragging on the ground, and the #4 prop appears to be digging into the tarmac. The aircraft is beginning to veer to the right, headed for the helicopter landing pads. Hatch and Blaser are visible at the controls, but they're not actually controlling anything.





When the right side of the fuselage digs into the runway, there's a screech of grating metal and the plane yaws violently to the right, off the runway and toward... the Helicopter Landing Pads.That's the frustration of crashing an airplane - if it's not one thing it's another.

Tower to C-130 on Katum runway "Do you need any further assistance ?"

C-130 to tower
"Not done crashin' yet tower, Will advise..."
