Cold winters, hot summers, kimchee, warm floors, Quonset huts, 5 gallon can barrel space heaters, houseboys, and a lot of other memories. After 16 months I wanted to go home, but as I sat in the back of the deuce and a half I was filled with a sense of loss. The camaraderie was now gone. We were lucky we had a theater, bowling alley, library and snack bar.

Cav. 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery, Hq. & Service Batteries, March, 1960 - April, 1961 What Unit(s)? John M. Comments: John, Great site, as always. Amazing, isn't it, how nostalgic we get, as we age, for those "old days, when we were young, and soldiers"! Vivid memories continue to percolate down as I talk regularly with several Starbuck's coffee buddies who are either Korea or Vietnam vets. Words like /C-Rations (my favorites were peaches, or applesauce, or -----?), blister bags, (remember how hot and nasty a drink out of those suckers was on a hot, humid, dusty day?), guard mount, (recall how you always hoped to make supernumerary, the man, so you didn't have to freeze or sweat your buns off walking a post or standing in a guard tower over the concertina wire on the perimeter? midnight curfew, when you just wanted to spend some more time in that "hootch" in the vil, or have another beer or two? And last but not least, the two a.m. siren or claxen, an alert, the sergeant yelling "saddle-up", we're moving up on the Z!" Great times all, at least in the memory of this old soldier! |
