Ah, Ft. Devens. Home of my ROTC summer camp experience. That was the summer I chipped a tooth in our beer relay around the track. Gotta hand it to my dentist. Fixed me up proper, but utterly destroyed my whistle. Then again, he suggested plugging a developing cavity and proceeded to drill the wrong molar. At least it was free.

At least Devens didn't have Ft. Benning's red clay, or Grafenwoehr's dust-blowin-in-your-eyes while standing in ankle-deep mud, he said fondly. My driver put our jeep in muck that even an M-60 couldn't extricate. Amazing to see its tracks spin. Had to send for the VTR to break the suction. Something like Madame Pavlova on wheels, but that's another story.

Best wishes on Veterans Day tomorrow!

That's funny..

The dentist that got ahold of me at Cutler Army hospital
yanked out my lower wisdom teeth with just novacane.
Worst pain of my life,...jerk.... it was free though.

Happy Veterans day to you too..
