Scott, Johnny, Are you a Vet? Yes. What was your MOS? 111P. Where did you serve? Good question. When I went to Viet Nam, it was two words. When I got there, it became three, Viet F---ing Nam. Now it is one Vietnam. If you want to know what post state side. Ft. Polk, basic and AIT, Ft. Benning, jumps school, Ft. Bragg 325th/82nd ABN, Ft. Rucker 31st INF, Ft. Benning 11th AA, 1/8 Cav/1st Cav. After Vietnam I did two years years in Brook General Hospital as a test subject for Dr. Frank N. Stine. Over thirty-six surgires, four wives, dozens of jobs, a fortune in booze and child support. Welche Sprachen sprichst du? If I am correct that is German and I have not spoken it since I was a kid. When we played army they always put me on the German side, because my older cousin said, "You are the only one who speaks it." I would curse him out and shoot him. "God Bless America's Vets and active service members!. My aunt asked my mother what I said and she told her. After that she would torment me by calling me a little Krout.
RC, wants me to tell you about a bad day.
"In Viet Nam, I was shot in both arms, both legs and hands and my chest and left for dead. On the way out the Company Commander called in artillery fire on our possession. The next day they call in an airstrike on our possession. About a half hour later they came in to do a body count and found four of us still alive, I was the only one who had to be carried to the chopper, the rest walked. There was one person they could not locate and they went back the next day and found him under a pile of dirt and trees from the explosions they could not hear him calling for help because of all the noise (Choppers) the day before. Two years in the hospital only to go back four months later. Every time they operate on my leg they tell me I may not come out of the surgery with it. I stopped counting surgeries at thirty-six. All of my joints are blown out and I live with the pain. I stopped drinking almost twelve years ago. Quit smoking about five years ago, and started smoking a pipe after my last GP, visit. He did not refill my pain medication. When I called, he made me come in for a drug screening. Even after that I did not get anything for the pain. I went last week to see my psychiatrist and told him and he sent me the meds, but I have not taken any. Well that's my story. Stay in touch."
