When exactly were you at Knox? I was there from Apr - June....
Got there in mid October

Well there's your problem, they rolled out the coloring books in December of 1969. As Maxwell Smart would say, Missed them by that much!

“Doubt Patton would be spinning in his grave, he was a West Point Graduate. “

Patton attended VMI in 1903 and 1904, and then went on to West Point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton

Same here. Thought it would have been better to shut the place down then. Clearly that would have been better than letting it turn into....this.

When I got out of the Army in 72, I moved to Detroit to live with my dad. One night a buddy and I went into a bar in Hamtramck and darn if I didn’t run into two guys I went thru basic with.....

Looks like we were all 4th Brigade.

[Hot Tabasco]

Did you by any chance purchase the "year book" for the company you went thru basic with?

I did and it's pretty cool looking at the photos ......

[SaraJohnson]

This has to be a joke.

Patton attended VMI 1903-1904 then transferred to West Point

But you knew that but neglected to say it

[Bull Snipe]

Thanks, actually had forgotten that Patton spent time at VMI.

Yea, my buddy, a Read Admiral who ran GTMO for a year under GWB, finally quit the Navy a couple years ago because of all this crap... sickening for sure. All the good people have been jumping ship.

Yes I did. Somehow I lost it about 30 years ago. Would love to find a replacement.
