@KurtSchlichter I was cashing my PFC $240 (ish) paycheck at the PX so I could buy beer (at the Del Mar E-Club) and smokes in '92.
Barracks living with no bills and no sense, nearly all of it went to bad habits, making sure to save enough for weekly haircut and cammies pressed.
@john_wilddog Rather pointless life if the need is to resurrect a long defeated opponent in order to slay an imaginary boogeyman at an attempt to create purpose to your existence.
@SGTWipper1Each After the 1st battle of Fallujah I spent my days doing laps on MSRs Mobile and Michigan between the Fallujah cloverleaf and Abu Ghraib along with a short stint further north guarding bridges. And was QRF when on FOB, our AAVs could outrun the armored Hummers.

@SGTWipper1Each I remember rolling into the circle and getting interviewed by Sky News before we yanked down the statue.
We sawed the hand from the statue and it made it back down to Kuwait with us but disappeared once we got on the Cleveland for the boat ride home.
@Old_Ozark_No5 Down here dodging hurricanes but doing well. I'm down here with "Mongoose" (retired MstGns). We hit the range every now & then. ARs & Enfields in my safes.
@Old_Ozark_No5 No sir, got close to snagging one of the Buffalo Ice Breaker LVTs but couldn't get transportation quote in time.
I do have one to visit on occasion down here though.
