Wasn't 5-81 cold? I still remember how cold 5-82 was.
Two questions:

1) How old is your son and do you see him?
2) When are you getting a second wife (they come in handy) :lol:

Did you know Daryl Parks? Did you know Paul Burbrige?

5-81 was very cold and wet. It rained constantly everywhere. River crossings were good because the water was usually warmer than the air. Hey, a couple of degrees feels good sometimes.

My son is 27 and I spent March thru September with him in Denver this past year.

No second wife. I can't find a woman that doesn't do the girly shit. Or can't keep her hands off my stuff.

I can't remember most of the guys I served with let alone guys from other companies. We were doing all that special team shit when I was there and we never saw guys from other companies. Hell, I was in 1st Platoon and didn't see guys from the other platoons in our own company. Only at company formations.

I'm thinking. I don't remember the guys you mentioned.

I was in 2nd bat but the name Purdy rings a bell. I know 1s bat guy from
Ranger school (Daryl) and then in 124th LRSD at ft stewart all were ex Rangers from 1st bat. Our Co was capt O'Keffe and our 1sg had combat jump wings from Grenada...

I know you're pretty far away, but we'd love to have you. Wondered if you ever got a hold of Burbridge, Room, or Wierniki? We'd love to have as many of the upper cadre as possible. Let me know. Thanks. E. Rodrigues.
While getting together with old friends is a hoot, is there some reason why you haven't made your own introduction on this site as your 1st, 2d, 3d, ? post?
Read FAQ's and post an introduction.
