Those skeeters will be so big, you’ll need a shotgun to go skeet shooting.

The naked jungle.

I recall reading that book in the ‘50s, when I was a teen!
Those army ants destroy everything in their path when they are on the move.

[Rannug]

Yes sir. It will work.

[higgmeister]

We we’re all in olive drab. I hated wearing blues.

Or as we called them back then, the "pickle suit." Were you issued 1505's too?

[Perseverando]

Saw this on twitter - #sharks Didn't say where or when, but would be greatly surprised if it's not photoshopped.

[longfellow]

You’ve got to see the movie.

[Rannug]

And on land also. Amazing stuff.

I remember “pickles,” and “canned pickles” when we got our name tags sewn on. Don’t know what 1505’s are, by that name.

1505's were the khaki uniform, like the blue uniforms were 1549/1550. I was one of the last BMT flights to get that issue in 1975 and they were so old and mismatched that the khaki trousers had a pink hue. We suspected that they had tried to clear out the old Army Air Corps supply from before 1947.

[gundog]

No, we didn’t get those. I was in ‘81-’85. They kept floating rumors that we’d get the suede boots and cammies, but no. Just perm press fatigues and boots we had to shine.

Eventually burns itself out in water and you have removed a nest of red devils in the process.

Unless it makes it to a house first.
