...You Just Don't Know What Good Times Were.

I just emailed an old Army buddy, this is what I said....

You mentioned 29 inches of snow that one time in Germany. To be honest with you, it seemed like quite a bit of snow EVERY winter while I was there. This little 'dusting' was nothing compared to what I have seen, right? Another thing. We play the radio in the kitchen where I work at. The Head Chef always has it turned to Classic Rock...no problem. I like it cause it brings back memories. Today Boston came on the radio, Don't Look Back. I remember going to that concert in Germany, sooooo.... I googled it. here is the link:

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to The Euro Tour. I think it was...Rhein-Neckar-Halle Heidelberg. I don't remember who I went with, but I do know I was on restriction, cause I had received an Article 15, remember those, probably not, you might never had recieved one. I remember walking into a Baskin Robbins or a Dunkin Dounuts asking for directions. I asked the people behind the counter did they speak English and they said, we should, we are Americans. They told me the concert hall wasn't to far away. WOW MEMORIES off of just one song.

Another thing. Were you the Battalion Commander Driver or The battery Commander Driver. Cause I was the Battery Commander Driver too. It wasn't The Black BC we had who had that Black 442 car, remember that? It was for the White BC. I remember cause they made me the driver and I didn't know how to drive PERIOD !! We were going to Graft, roads were black iced everywhere. About less than half a click out of town, going downhill, I almost flip the jeep. Shit...I'm having Freaky Flashbacks man. I also remember when I got Short, they made me a UP, Unit Police, 3 days on, 4 days off. Do you remembr Brian Nichols and Hardon? They were the BIGGEST hash dealers in the 8th Infantry Div. Remember the Black Chief of Smoke, he was bow legged. Oh, remember that asshole 1st Sargent we had who was replace my a Spanish speaking one. Well Brian had sent me to the Housing Area on Post one night, to some address for a delivery and HE answered the door, told me to keep my mouth shut !!. Oh, oh. Remember Lt walker !! I babysitted his set of new born twins. Told me if I was going to smoke that shit to do it on the porch. Terry, a lot of shit went down at 2nd BN 81st FA and I REALLY MISS ALL Of THAT SHIT MAN !!
