Everywhere from VC Island near Saigon, north to the "Thunders" at An Loc, Qaun Loi & Loc Ninh, east to Nui Bha Rha Mountain, Song Be in Phuoc Vinh...and west to the Fish Hook and the Parrot's Beak (oh surely, I was never in Cambodia ;)), and the usual Iron Triangle, Tapazoid, Micelin Rubber Plantation...  Did a recon stint  and commanded an Infantry Company with the Big Red One.

All familiar names from my historical reading. You got around my friend. I believe you've mentioned you were a LRRP. Was your recon stint with a LRRP company? Which one and assigned to which Division?

I wanted to be an Astronaut as a kid, until my teacher told me it took a lot of math. I had a lot of difficulty with that subject and decided to be something different. I just haven't figured out what yet:?:D. Space travel still fascinates me. Maybe that's why I'm such a SciFi buff.

Sounds about like me. I was good with general math and science but the upper stuff did me in. But can you imagine a Dawg in space. Scary. LOL :D

I've never told you guys why my handle is Murphy. My friends at work started calling me that, because I have the uncanny ability to find ways to break the oddest things at the worst possible time and place. Now imagine that in space:D.

Yep! Scary interesting indeed. They're pretty sure that if anyone can find a way to break a bowling ball, it's me. And not take long to do it:D.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have been on the moon. Say your at a cocktail party and some folks are talking about their travels...


Do you remember Alice Cramden Jack?  If you say yes, you'll definitely age yourself.

 

Her husband Ralph sent her to the moon with the words, "Bang, zoom.  Right to the moon."

I was the same way!  College algera was my limit.  Some physical problems would have kept me out also. Like having to take meds for asthma and having to wear glasses.  I can only dream of the day that regular civilians can go into space.  hopefuly I live long enough.
