FEELING LITERARY TODAY.
LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY, IN A WORLD THAT IS NO MORE, A SQUADRON OF THE 2D ARMORED CALVARY REGIMENT CHANCED TO HAVE A SIZABLE MINORITY OF MORMON OFFICERS. COMMON COURTESY THEREFORE REQUIRED TWO PUNCH BOWLS AT SQUADRON SOCAL FUNCTIONS TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR AVERSION TO ALCOHOL. TWO SECOND LIEUTENANTS, IN KEEPING WITH THE ANCIENT TROUBLE MAKING TRADITION OF CORONETS OF HORSE, DECIDED TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. AT THE NEXT PARTY THE MORMON PUNCH BOWL WAS FILLED WITH A TOTALLY INNOXIOUS TASTING BUT QUITE POTENT MIXTURE WHICH INCLUDED, AS I RECALL, LIME SHERBET AND BLACKBERRY BRANDY AS MAIN INGREDIENTS. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. THE MORMONS TALKED FOR WEEKS ABOUT WHAT A GREAT TIME THEY HAD AND HOW MUCH SUPERIOR IT WAS TO PREVIOUS SQUADRON SOCIAL FUNCTIONS. IN US ARMY KASERNES IN GERMANY GOSSIP WAS SUPREME, AND OF COURSE, THE SECRET HAD TO LEAK OUT. THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE GRUMPING ON ONE HAND AND SNICKERING ON THE OTHER. AND FOR THOSE MAKING UNFOUNDED ASSUMPTIONS, I SERVED IN THE 11TH ACR, NEVER IN THE 2D :-) DARLING WIFE MUST STILL HAVE THE RECIPE TUCKED AWAY SOMEPLACE. |

When I signed up for the USAF in 73 part of my reason was to escape the booze and the drugs. I soon learned that wherever you go, there you are. I escaped neither the booze or the drugs yet found others much like myself from around the country and the world. While in Germany I found they also had a rather open opinion on sex too. So as Brad has alluded, at least then, the military ran on booze. A good time was had by all. |

THE IRISH, GOD BLESS 'EM. MY LAST OUTFIT IN THE ARMY HAD A BUNCH OF IRISHMEN, GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS, WHAT PARTIES WE HAD, IF YOU LEFT HUNGRY OR SOBER IT WAS NOBODIES FAULT BUT YOUR OWN. OUR CW4 MAINTENANCE TECH WAS BORN ON THE ALD SOD & CAME TO THE US AS A CHILD. IT WAS OUR LUCK TO BE INVOLVED IN SOME KING OF GAO AUDIT AND THEY SENT A EAST INDIAN ACCOUNTANT TO INSPECT OUR MOTORPOOL. THIS GUY KNEW AS MUCH ABOUT ARMOR BN MOTORPOOLS AS I KNEW ABOUT ACCOUNTING. PRETTY SOON HE HAD THE CHIEF'S FACE REDDER THAN HIS HAIR. NEVER SEEN ANYBODY SO MAD. WE WERE AFRAID HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A STROKE. WE HAD TO SEND HIM TO THE HOUSE; IT WAS THE ONLY WAY THAT BOTH HE AND THE ACCOUNTANT COULD LEAVE THE MOTORPOOL ALIVE. |
