Army here. 1982 - 1988. Granada was the event then. Spent my time in Garrison, Fort Devens, Ma. Then 2ID Korea, Camp Casey, 1st Brigade, then moved to 1/72 Armor Battalion. (Hated every minute of Korea). Then plush assignment at Fort Belvoir, VA and got tired of the politics. Decided I'd seen enough and got out while it was still good.
Regrets? Yea.... a few. Wish I could catch up with a couple of my "buddies" and punch them in the nose! Others, would love to have them in my home for a good meal together! It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Would I do it again.... not voluntarily! But if called upon, yes ... I'd do it again in a heart beat! (that is if Uncle Sam want's this old codger now with a knee I wasn't born with, high blood pressure, high sugar levels, arthritis, dead thyroid, somewhat over weight, loss of hearing in one ear, and only 1 eye working correct. I suppose I'd fit right in though? With my balding head, I'd not need to worry about those "Army haircuts" any more!
I served, I did my job, and I got out when it was right ... like I said, regrets, only a few.
1984 ... when I still had hair, was thin, didn't need glasses, and had the knee I was born with! A little on my saucey side here ... Korea, Camp Casey.
