Exactly.

Todays young men are so timid they allow their girl friends to drive.

As a young man, even if it was her car, I said give me the keys. Thee ladies always obliged and let me drive.

Nice story. In the summer of ‘73 i was flying interdiction patrols, With 9 of my closest friends, between Utapao Thailand and Cam Rahn Bay Viet Nam. Lots of fun. Yellow Brick road.

Not exactly the carney but exciting enough and it was a growing experience, lol.

Forgive me, this is embarrassing. I was supposed to be referring to 1972. (I’m getting old and sometimes forgetful 😒)

We all have those moments. Thanks for your service. I joined a few Months after I finished the carney tour in November “73”.

All the fighting was over by then, or at lest our troops were being brought home. So my tour of duty was uneventful.

i left in 1998 and have only been back 4 times, but that is because i have now adult kids that live there along with their mother.
