The smell of mountains
The smell of Alaska that is better and more distinct.
The smell of my wife.
The smell of a good dog.
Paper shotgun shells. Don't know why I don't go buy a few cases... I really should.
Smell of burned folks. Luckily I didn't have to find that smell due to combat, but I've smelled enough and continue to every so often. Everytime I smell it I wonder how we'll get it into a body bag and out of the house or vehicle...
Salt marsh smells. But its one I don't like. I like hunting and fishign them when its cool, but I don't care at all for the salt smell.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

When I was 4, I had my tonsils out. Back then (1952), they used ether. It was probably 20 years later before I quit having flashbacks of that smell. Same here, about the same age. I can smell it here right now!

The good
The Sierras when you first arrive from SoCal.
The desert after a good rain.
Bacon cooking outdoors.
A lot that others have mentioned.
The worst.
The decomp room at the L.A.County morgue. We had to attend an autopsy when I went through paramedic training. I saw no practical value in it.
Burned bodies. I also wish I had never seen them.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
Stupid always finds a way.

I'm sitting here watching the LSU and Auburn game from 1988 but the smells are still the same. The dressing, the cherry pie, and the ham finishing up in the oven. The rolls sitting on the cabinet. The scented candle w/it's red glow and sweet smell. Ever since I was a young boy those are my favorite smells. I'm so glad we live in a country that celebrates Thanksgiving because we truly do have a lot to be thankful for. powdr The first time i had sex no smell or memory will last longer
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

A rutting buck, a dog fart and a house full of blood.

I remember my first whiff of a full on yeast infection in gal's snatch, fall of '84. I'm still scarred.

Both burned bodies and some folks that die in front of me, those don't bother me so much, but enough so that if I had any artistic ability I could draw exactly each one, they remain vivid in my memory. Not sure how much room I have in there for more... I guess as many more as I see/smell I'm sure.

Smells and sights that you experience over thirty years of law enforcement leaves unwanted lasting impressions in your head. To many to mention. Wasn't in combat but but I suspect similar to PTS. GW

The smell of newly issued military uniforms and equipment, back in the days when it was all cotton. Wet gun dog, of course. Some outfit once sold a mens' cologne by that name.  Paul

Paul The fresh issued uniforms reminded me of another smell too. Our green wool socks and glove liners were issued out of cardboard barrels that had moth balls or crystals in them. Seemed like it took forever for the smell to go away. To this day every time I smell moth balls it takes me right back to basic training.
