• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

For Texnetcop, Teasea, and all Grunts everywhere.

SOH-CM-2025
I was in Midland/Odessa, TX today and found a Vietnam Memorial located on the airport grounds. Took a couple pictures and I am posting them for GI around the world. Especially, for Texnetcop and the other "Grunts" who drank Quinine flavored water and let in holes, while I drank cold beer and slept in air conditioned hoochs.



 
I knew a couple of Navy guys that I met down in Cam Rahn Bay and they told us how you guys lived it up on-shore. Actually I'd rather have the lousy tasting water, the miserable humidity, and the disgusting C rats we ate out in the field rather than be in a stuffy hot and humid freaking ship stacked three high in their bunks. They told me how bad things got below decks on some ships! I didn't even mind an occasional bullet coming my way because I had lots of room to duck...OK that part I minded! However our outfit did have cold beer thanks to a donation made by certain Zoomie officers. LOL!
We all did our time and no regrets but looking back ya wonder how in the hell ya survived it when so many you knew didn't. Thanks John!
