    Thats great and thank you for serving, but you are a No Go here. You need to read the SOP and go back and make a proper introduction in the introduction threads.

    Welcome Wildcat.

    Your not doing too bad. The computer learning curve can be steep but starts to get better pretty soon.

    Some of the folks might ask for a little bit more background information about you military service.
    Light engineers must be proficient in marksmanship, demolitions, light infantry skills, and field-expedient engineering. Because of the austere conditions in which they operate, light engineers must have knowledge of all weapons in their unit, an intimate understanding of the weapons systems of the forces they support, and a working knowledge of the enemies' weapons. The close combat skills of light engineers must be unequaled. They must hold total confidence in their abilities to apply these skills and tools.

    Welcome.

    Any service in RVN? How about where and when you trained. BN's, etc?

    Get yourself verified for full access and unquestioned veracity.

    To all.
    Yes I served in Viet Nam with the 173rd airborne/ Echo Recon-grunt, know what I mean? Based out of L.Z. English. Did some humping in the ashau and Anlo valley, yea, can't spell either, just a drafted grunt And yes, we had c's from ww2 and pineapple's. LRRP's (rations) was in for us at the end of my tour, although the 75th rangers is who we stole them from, just like our beer..
    I also did time with B-2/504, 82nd at Bragg--devils in baggy Pants and Basic there in 67.
    Just for your info, I don't know this high tech shit, but I can read and I did bring 'BEER' So, what else is there to an intro, as I did read it and it doesn't say that I have to tell my life history just to make you feel good about yourself?
    ok, as stated before, 49th company--31May 68

    Blackflagg509, thanks for the welcome and 82 negitive responce, shit is still around,A? No one is perfect like you?

    Wildcat...

    Although, I appreciate the experience all the soldiers, sailors, and airmen went through during those years...

    I cannot accept that intro...!

    Please, provide some more G2.

    You will learn the computer world as time goes on.

    Have a great night.




















    I can't stand being politically correct...

    Wildcat, that intro sucked some major ASS...

    Provide some more G2!

    You are a NO GO at this station!
