Yes, I think I like this format better. I thought I was seeing things when the color changed! I like this much better because you can see the post you are responding too. :)))

LOL! Yup....some people are a bit slooooowwww! :)) Hey, I can't hook my computer up to the stereo in my office. I need to try to hook it up to the other stereo system in the family room. I tried to just record the song with the speakers, but it doesn't sound so good. Let me keep playing around with it so it is as good as it can be. Too bad it isn't already on a cd.

[MistyCA]

LOL! Ok! You don't wanna mess with my kid! You think Spooky gets hot!!! You ain't seen hot! :)

[MistyCA]

Back in 1966

Duty was good, the only risk was in travelling or when Charlie would hit our compound - then we grabbed rifles and defended the perimeter as needed. The only down side was that I was surrounded with “Saigon Warriors” a derogatory term for Saigon troops who looked down on the field soldiers because they “weren’t smart enough to get a cushy rear area assignment”. I detested those people.
It came to a head one day in a Saigon bar. Several soldiers were in from the field for a few days. As a reward for a job well done, they would sometimes be given orders to go to Saigon for a few days to pick up “supplies”, in this case a half gallon of ice cream. The Saigon Warriors in the bar immediately berated them for their appearance. They commented that scum should not be allowed in town. I went off. After things quieted down, I bought the grunts a couple beers, and directed them to some good bars.
I went back to my unit and requested a transfer. Two bottles of Johnny Walker Black Label bought me a new MOS – I would be an Army Sailor.
