Left back in 1974, saying was then "feeding them not needing them". God we went through lot a crap then! What a lesson in both democratic and autocratic service. But on the whole a great time. Miss many of those I served with; think back on places served and people I met both positive and unfortunately negative, but thats life. I really have a lot of respect for those serving in todays military; Kudos to them one and all.
