EDITED TO ADD: The writer is a QP's wife. She used to write columns for the Fay Observer.
...and only a very special remaining few see the irony in the location of the Hay Street Police Department.

Oh yeah....two beer max at lunch with Korean dancers slightly our of synch with the music....ah, that was art.
Them was the days.....I remember getting to the 509th in Italy mid 70's (prior to being SF).
Got a bunk in the barracks and walked over to the NCO club.
A Mercedes's 280sl pulled into a parking slot and hit the curb, bounced up on the sidewalk then backed down again.
Two Old guys got out.
I asked a trooper...'who the hell is that'...he said..."Oh, that's the Bn Co and CSM, guess they've had a few"....
Didn't bat an eye....not abnormal.
Soldiers drink, raise hell, fight and then go to work.
Cant believe the Sugar Shack didnt get mentioned.

I wasn't back in the day but when I was at the Tng Group late 90's it had turned into an 'alternative lifestyle' gig.
Can't remember the name they gave it.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Shangri-La. Our team sargeant used to say if you don't have detail, sick call at the Shangri La at 0900.

I miss some of the old unit mottos that were posted at Bragg units:
"XX Maintenance - we bust a nut!"
"XX PIR - Shoot em in the Face!"
"Special Forces - Hung Like Horses!":D
I guess those days are gone.
