Started Tng group in 67. Remember the guy in the funny green hat coming by my Infantry AIT unit saying that I probably wasn't good enough for his unit. I could take these little tests and prove myself worthy of an interview by him the next day. Took the "little tests" and went to the interview. Man I showed him! Had orders to BAC and orders to this place at Bragg that I had read about but did not know jack about.
You are right, alot of phsych, "do you really want it" fun and games. Pancho not 6 inches, go to the back of the formation and your orders for the 82d repo depo are waiting for you. MacKall was one cadre op shed and we lived under a pancho hootch. Even now I can remember the fun of it all. Of course I was just shy of 21 and thought it was great good fun and manhood proving.
Magician - If I went back to Thailand my old lady of 34 years, yes she suffered my trips to the land of everything fun, would divorce my a** in a heart beat. That does not mean that I would love to play again. I remember when you had to look at the date of manufacture on the back label of the Mekhong to make sure it was still safe to drink. If the two week limit was expired the stuff would be rather bad. Can you spell enballming fluid?
