I got lucky and didn’t have to go to Vietnam but almost killed myself in a near APC rollover a cliff. Still scares me to think how close I came.

Will never forget Stewart. I spent 3 weeks there in August of '82.
It was 115 degrees and 100% humidity every frickin' day. Thought I was going to die.
I also remember they had really nice mess halls.
RIP ...

I spent a good portion in my Army duty in Mechanized Divisions. Looking back,I am lucky I never was injured peacetime,peacekeeping or actual combat duty. I have many stories but one that comes to mind is a Bradley at night that veered off a elevated narrow trail and plunged into a canal. The crew never had a chance. Army divers had to recover them.

Not a stranger to these loses, in the 60’s - 70’s the ARNG Div I was in, had incidents every year they did the ADT. Jeeps being run over by tanks on the tank trail, guys sleeping in the APC and being asphyxiated, Jeeps with powder bags exploding, roll overs, chopper stalls, 2.5 trucks backing up and crushing those between it and the building etc.etc.. ADT can be as dangerous as combat some times. Military accidents are no different than civilian ones. It depends on the same factors, driver, condition, experience and reaction.
