Hey, it's "bolas" not bolo. I thought it was bolo too until one of our sgts straightened my goofy arse out. Thank god we had a PJ with us, several guys cracked their melons open learning to throw them darned things. Wicked effective on the intended target too.

Naturally there was some betting amd I picked my roomie who was Apache/Mex from south AZ. We won the meat contest with bolas getting one rabbit and one duck. The duck cost me a baptism but it was worth it.

Pic is from 1982 near Cibola AZ (north of Yuma) doing some desert traning. You may have know Tony T. on the right, he was a legend in CCT and a real life MacGuyver. He passed away a few years ago down at Hurbie, brain cancer. Damn shame.

LOL...Bolas was a nic for Cajones isn't it ?

Ddin't know Tony or too many CCT sorts. Just the PJ's before they linked in special tactics squadrons etc ...

I like the "Bolas" as an improvised survival tool as well as the sling shot using the tounge of my boot and laces.... I got to be pretty good with that at Ft Sherman's jungle school....

"What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?"

Well, relax. A lifetime of concentrated Muttly research and observation has conclusively proved without the slightest particle of doubt that "doing the Hokey Pokey" IS "what it's all about."
As long as you shimmy to the left and shimmy to the right enough, every single day.
