Please tell us your MOS and the units served. The officer told you about Times square where? In formation, a class, the orderly room, in the field, firing range?
Company clerk, 76H20 (iirc), 4th Armored Division, circa 1969. Sorry, I won’t identify the battalion or the CO’s name, as I don’t want this to turn into a mini-inquisition. He said it during one of our weekly command sessions held in the day room.
