Ribit,
So IT IS YOU who I owe my tropical vacation time too???
Wow!
Thank you! It was all expenses paid and free transportation round trip. Did you ever get to go to China Beach for R & R ?
Well, getting back to the subject, it was a swell time there. I mean, not only did I enjoy that HOT tropical climate people pay lots of money to go do, but I also got to have target practice at real live targets as well. You just don't get that at the local ranges here.
Only problem was those targets fired back at me iffen I missed. Sometimes they just stayed hidden and rained mortar rounds on us. We played dodge ball with mortars and AK-47's spraying lead while we wuz trying to enjoy the cool water of a rice paddy, playing dodgem's with various booby traps....
Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks cause without that paid vacation I may never have ever gotten any !!!
Goldwater eh??????
