welcome.

btw....we old guys at SFA III have Soi Cowboy, Nana, and Sukhumvit Soi 33 covered. We could use some help over on Rachadapisek. There are a lot of places there.

Damn all that name calling about the diffirent Groups. I was in the 3d Gp, 7th Gp,5th Gp/SOG, 1st Gp and SWS. What does this classify me as? Then again I never could hold a job very long.

Loser!!

Try 10th, 5th(C&C), 7th, 8th, and 46th Co (CoD of the 1st) My 10th trumps your 3rd.

BMT and QRQ 30 both display their ability to adapt and assimilate to new conditions by continually transferring from Group to Group. One would think that after being in all those different units they would probably as well trained as Rambo.

Terry, I did notice a slight resemblance to Sly when he ignited the powder in his side wound in Rambo III. I think it was the scream. LOL

I'm not trying to hijack Blueboy's day but some of you "younger" whiper snappers may not realize that in the "Good old days" rotation every three years or so was the Army way. Individuals rotated rather than units. Towards the end of the Vietnam war it was changed as part of the VOLAR program. It is felt, and probably rightly so, that stability of assignment will attract more prospective career soldiers. Ironically, Special Forces always had the advantage over other units -- the fact you would always return to Ft. Bragg and could therefore invest in a home. Now y'all are all over the place but at least y'all still have the stability of serving in one or two groups for life.

That is why we ancients can claim so many homes.

Now -- let me light this black powder in my side -- Yeeeeeeow!!
