You're da bomb! What a great contribution to the education of clueless PETA types. They didn't have a problem with you having a gun and them not? What fools.

Course I don't envy you being in the the 9th (Motorized?) ID back in '83.

"Course I don't envy you being in the the 9th (Motorized?) ID back in '83."

I got there in 1981 when it was still the one of the two remaining Light Infantry divisions (the 7th ID being the other) in the army. We were also the last division in the army to have the old 90mm recoiless rifle in the TO&E.

THEN we became the HTLD or High Technology Light Division. I was an officer in the world's FIRST Dune Buggy battalion! Chenowith racing buggies mounting Mk19 40mm's and M2HB 50's! It was like some kinda super Rat Patrol...if you remember that old series. When I was getting ready to ETS in 1984 we were going to the motorized concept...then we became known armywide as "The Dodge Boys."
