'70 Wine
Came back from VN in '70.

All the young studs on Smoke Bomb Hill were drinking Boones Farm and Strawberry Hill and others.

PT in the mornin' was more like a RALPH CALLING contest. Take off running and about the 1/2 mile mark all you could hear was RALPH.

OK
OK I admit I was a bit confused by the first wine bottle I ran into that had a cork. I thought they all came with screw caps.

Nothing beats an ice cold beer in a long neck bottle.

Lucky for me I have always had beer tastes on a beer budget.

Born and bred in KY. Wine is banned and you start drinking Bourbon instead of milk......The really poor in Eastern Ky have to resort to beer. It is the WV influence.

Remember when we could drink two beers during lunch while watching strippers?

I was in Signal Company at the time and a few of us would drink two pitchers during lunch, which would infuriate the 1SG, he'd call a 1700 formation for PT.

Off we'd go thru the Mata-Mile...

Those were days when there were no H20 points!

Stay safe.

Yes and I remember an impromptu 1300 brief to the Corps Commander while going through O&I school with "lunch" on my breath.

Anyone guess the name of the club? Does not exist on Bragg anymore but a chicken place is close by.

They closed down the Yntema club?

Stay safe.

TDY at Bragg for me meant topless dancers on the tables of the bar in Moon Hall. I guess they don't have that any more, huh?
