Spent 6 months in the MFO in 84/85, ANZAC troops are great. They know how to train hard and party hard.

Drank myself into a stupor with one in the Aussie club at North Camp till 4 am. Saw him in the mess hall at 7am... he was the unit commander, a Major. Wanted to know if I wanted to ride along in his N model Huey for RTT (Return to Target) exercises. In an RTT two ships alternate dives at a target, covering each others climb out of a VERY steep dive. Told him sorry, but I wouldn't even do it sober. I actually did the Technicolor Yawn watching from the ground.....ahhh, the good old days.
