One day the lifers said there is a general coming out and we are going to have him come visit your gun.So like a good soldier I told the troops to put on their best (yea) uniform they could find and maybe shave.So the next morning I report to him for inspection and introduce him to my gunner Cpl Gannon.  Gannon takes him on the inspection of the 175 mm.  He proceeds to tell Gannon how we will do things going forward.  I said I appreciate the input (but no way in hell is that going to happen).  However the Cpl will not let it drop.  I get sucked into the conversation.Before it is over they take my M-16 away from me (however I still had my grease gun), my command away, told me to spit shine my boots (ha-ha as if there was any polish around), I will get a early out to the state and Fort Leonardworth with no strips but then, it gets really serious.I was schedule for R&R the next week.  I was gong to Bangkok (Asian women no/yes/maybe), I had 600 dollars and a vision that I had in my mind for the last month. A GI with 600 dollars, a dream, been on this hill for 6 months with 100 other GI and now going to Bangkok.  And poof it was gone.  And my vision went with it.  22 and still do not know a women.And now Johnr, 40 some years later you bring Asian women back on the table.Something telling me not to find that vision again.  db- - - Updated - - -My boy started walking with me carrying a rubber ban gun when he was 4 or 5, then he went to a single shot BB gun.  At age 13 his first bow and then later his youth 7mm-08 Remington ( I believe 14).  It was soon enough for him and me with the rifle.  db</blockquote>
