I have a friend who told me that in the Army he was member of the Remington Raiders......I was impressed. When he was asked to elaborate, he explained that he typed a lot of reports.

Yes, the clatter of typewriters at JUSPAO II (MACV) in Saigon was deadening with Joel Fried (NY Daily News) cussing out the SVN cleaning women for their “chattering”.

Joel was strung tighter than a piano wire, but a good reporter.

Ever use a French typewriter to write articles? Those frogs inserted letters/symbols that never existed on earth. Made one think about alien invasions.

IOW, he was a REMF.

Hubby (who actually was a Green Beret) always calls them Rems....not because of the typewriters but for....Rear Echelon Mother&*^%$#S.
