I question the judgement of those who get themselves into these situations! I recall Ft. Bragg during the Vietnam war that all of us in SF (both officers and NCO’s) knew damn well that some wives were using both the main NCO club and especially the 82nd officers club to meet single men while their husband was in Vietnam. One of the bartenders at the club was married to a legendary SF SGM, and; I will always be grateful to her from giving me the heads up on married women.
I was at Bragg for summer ROTC training in 1975 when Hay Street war roaring. First advice we got from our cadre was not to go there but it was not off limits. So........not only did we go there but we saw them there too. We did not train on weekends and had our cars so it sure beat sitting on those old world war 2 wooden barracks with no air in June/July. Rick’s Lounge was the favorite stop for us. What a “colorful” place Hay Street was.
