You had it pretty good. These things didn't exist for me. I retired before you were born. :lol:gruntpain1775 said:I have slept many a rainy night zipped up in a bivy sack, the only moisture that got in was condensation.
Hey, that bivy only seen duty when my butt was sleeping over night on a range. If it was training or deployed the poncho was it. To much other "needed" crap that "had" to go in my ruck. One thing I never wore, no matter how bad it was...rain gear. never. It was almost like a point of pride for 11B's to not break out the snivel gear or the Wet Weather gear. You see POGs wear it and laugh at them.CountryGun said:You had it pretty good. These things didn't exist for me.

Twelve of my years were with the infantry (Mech, Light, and Mountain). At best, I had a poncho over my two sleeping bags (in Alaska at minus 83 degrees), or a poncho liner and poncho in Viet Nam. You really had it good, Man!

There are a few things that I kept from my time in. Poncho, poncho liner and my ruck are among them. I just paid the Army the lost charges. Poncho and Poncho liner cause they are handy, the ruck b/c I had it since I was a E-nothing, and managed to keep and use it even after the ACU nightmare came about. All the way up to my last road march 2 weeks before I left. I hated that thing, but it was home.
I wasn't truly infantry. I was first a medic, and then a medical officer (PA) assigned to several units. The term "infantryman" is an honor I would love to have had. I tried twice to get through jump school, and failed (fractured arm, and bad ankle sprain). I hold you guys in high regard. I did violate the Geneva Convention in Viet Nam, and wasted a few VC (as a medic), though I can't put a face on them. I did keep up with you guys on every march, and every insertion, and whooped most everyone on the battalion runs. It was the best I could do. I've always loved what the infantry stands for.gruntpain1775 said:Hey country, I didn't know you were Infantry. What was life like with Alexander? Was it cold when you pulled far side security for the parting of the red sea? :mrgreen:
