Ok, more war stories time.

I went to Ft Knox in February 1994 for weapons qual. Had to head down there for heavy weapons qualifications since the prison where we did rifle qual couldn't handle the heavier stuff. Anyway, just 2.5 days down there and a blizzard came in. First time (at the time) since the post was closed in 12 years. Blowing snow, temps were hovering around 19 all day... and they sent us out to the M60 range. Couldnt see a damn thing, so everyone put 200 rounds down range without looking and called it a day. Humvee got stuck on the side of a trail and had to be pulled with a 5ton cab.

The entire time there, we kept wondering where the gold was.

(On topic): Paul, if Dixie's "Massage Parlor" is still there, just south of Leonard Wood, stay out. You don't need any diseases and the MP's don't need to arrest you.

Man its all coming back now.
