sgmdae Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Bob, Great job on the jump commands, I could add a few of the time table commands, what the heck you did good, Airborne all the way. I spent a split tour, they were always setting LBJ on fire, but your right soldier started to refuse. I had a split tour, two TET offenses, 68 and 69, last mission was Hamburger hill, at the end When I di some research for Forgotten PTSD, did you know we had 64 Killed and over 400 wounded, now I know why I blocked it, B Co took most of thekilled, I was on the Hill at the bottom, last group to go up collect equipment, wounded and some killed that not yet be extracted. What a muddy mess Guess I am off the subject, Sorry my Brothers and Sisters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 4, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Although I was at FT. Benning for basic, I did not go back to jump school or OCS, as planned. I was sent to 05B20 school then to light Inf. AIT then Hawaii, then RVN. Never made it to jump school. I would love to jump out of a plane, however , my wife won't let me. Ha... :P B) Edited August 7, 2009 by Commander Bob 92-93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted August 4, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2009 How does the Army get young HS graduates to enlist in the combat arms in this day and age? They can enlist in the Air Force and learn about computers or something. That is a lot better than climbing up moutains in Afghanistan with a pack on your back. Not a big demand for infantry troops back in the states after they get back to civilian life. I know that some people just like it and more power to them. Do the youngsters get large enlistment bonuses for going 11B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 4, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Testosterone, and visions of glory, John999. Beside it's a hell of an adventure. I remember the day, around 2 weeks into basic training, when I wondered if I had made a mistake with my career choice. :P Edited August 7, 2009 by Commander Bob 92-93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
