smokn38,

I ask you that because I was there in June of 1990 and I think our OPFOR was the 1/508 out of Fort Davis.

But on a night ambush that we were doing...before any shooting started, we heard these death like screams. So we indexed.

Found out later that one of the OPFOR guys was stung by some uber jungle scorpion or something. LOL

Poor guy.

PANAMA

Post by FIST TEAM LTR »

1979

I watched an RTO step into a mud chute like on "Romancing the Stone"
Slid 30-40 feet into a hugh pool of water.

Putting emtpy beer cans in the cannon the night before Reveille and watching the incident the next morning.


One on the "Docs" stealing the Panamanian flag.


It was $8.00
