I love the Navy and the Air Force! Whenever we had to go fight somewhere we would ask them for a ride!

Great taxi service they provided.

I was in the Army stationed at Ft Lewis Washington

We trained with jarheads at Pendleton practicing beach landings circa 1977

Good Times, we all got along great, one thing Hollywood gets wrong is from the ship to the landing craft, those damn nets were slapping hard against the hull... what an experience

Dang it, OC, here's another connection we have. I was stationed there '76-'77. So not only did we play each other in high school football, but probably suffered some cold, wet fall,winter, spring and summer together!

After I was out of the Navy in 1988, I ended becoming a Greyhound Driver based in Portland, and would often pick up/drop off at Ft Lewis......

No shit, I was on the North Fort side 3rd Brigade, had fun messing with those Ranger 2/76 boys tho... damn you know that Nisqually river is pretty freaking cold in February

And don’t even get me started on Yakima

I forgot about that Sam. We traded war stories at camp this year!

Bummer about Davis. Looked like the light really clicked on with him in coverage this year. Before he was mostly a special teams guy.

Marine stands for My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment.

Army 1987-1992 Was in Germany when they opened up the Berlin wall. Crazy times!

Ah yes! Yakima! Who would've thought the beautiful, lush green state of Washington had a desert that was hot, dusty and just plain miserable.

North Fort, what an ugly part of Ft. Lewis during that time. All the WWII barracks and hardly any amenities to speak of. I was the prick that probably busted up a lot of your beer drinking, card playing, gambling payday parties.

Me and my buddy floated down the Nisqually during the summer. It was damn cold then being fed by the snow runoff.

We were soldiers and we were young...and stupid too! I can't believe they gave us guns with real bullets!

I think we hijacked this thread pretty good, don't you @OC--LeftCoast and @bubbaramfan ?

You forgot windy. When I was in National Guard from 1992-2008 we did gunnery @ Yakima most years. The wind would just howl at night and since we were scouts we usually just slept on top of our Hummvee's. Nothing like 14 hours of gunnery followed by 3 hours of lousy sleep for a 5 day drill.

With age comes wisdom and the ability to take quotes from areas that other do know exist. A Few Good Men was released in 1992, I'm sure you used that quote well before then.

Hug I must be in the wrong thread.

Well Yakima was definitely the armpit of such a green state, damn that Cascade Mountain Range...but what I really hated as a ground pounding grunt, was the sage brush and those body clinging insects..,@VeteranRamFan shirley can relate...then again if he was MILPO perhaps not...

Not worried bout the thread hijack, I’d say it’s run it’s course?

It's great when typo's lead to fun
