I loved Fort Polk, my uncle was a Colonel there. I was maybe 5 years old and had lots of fun, even crushed my oldest sisters hand in a APC hatch.
Oh about 1968 or so. |

Oh about 1968 or so. Just like home. I was a member of an archery club off post, a hunting club off post, it was awesome. Getting the tank stuck in an unknown swamp on top of a hill? Peason Ridge? Yeah, those places sucked, but Whiskey Chito Creek during PLDC Land Nav was such a joy! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Or, he'll claim he wants to hurt himself and get medically retired with 100% disability for PTSD - from that time he got his ass chewed. "No Sergeant Major, I didn't know this was his 3rd DUI, I met the guy yesterday morning when he was assigned to me." "Sergeant Major, after he burned down the second humvee, I took a signed memo from the troop commander that he wasn't allowed to use our trucks and gave it to the motor sergeant. The motor sergeant didn't tell the dispatch clerk so she gave the LT another truck." (which he wrecked, but did NOT burn down). "Why are you rappelling off the barracks?! Fuck it, On belay!" (ok, that one was me getting my NCO an ass chewing. Circle of life and all that) |

Or what's really fun is having a brand new 2LT getting a brand new M1A1 at Graf.
Brand new 2LT takes his crew on a joy ride. He was TC, I was the driver. We were on some hairy not rated for tanks trails and LT spots a nice open snow covered perfectly flat field. He said excitedly, "Ling! Hard right! Hit that field!" Only it wasn't a field. The ice was not thick enough to support a tank. I had my hatch open and when the tank hit the small pond at about 35 MPH I didn't have much time to duck down into my hatch as sheets of inch thick ice slammed up the front slope. Then crashed down on top of me. All I heard was "Ling! Floor it!" I did and we made it through. The beautiful brand new tank was now filthy as hell, the inside coated in pond muck. We dredged up dozens of little frogs that huddled on the front slope until they froze solid and rolled off. I think I got PTSD from the wanton Amphibicide that day. On a good note, the LT took all the blame and even helped us wash the tank. He was a really great guy. |

If you fall out during the Division Review at Bragg, your career is over. My unit had a guy pass out. Medics gave him IVs woke him up and as soon as he returned to the unit, they ran him on the obstacle course out back until he passed out again. This time it was at the top of a rope ladder and he broke his elbow when he fell.
