In 1970 I left Ft. Ord Cal. for Vietnam. Just before I walked through the door I stopped and looked back at the ground and somehow I felt I'd never see it in the USA again. I was a paratrooper with the 101st.
Airborne Div., 416 para-infantry regmt. Luck was never my strong.

July 1977 Charleston SC USAF ROTC summer camp.

Got scammed out of $10 while walking through OHare terminal to change planes on the way down. On the way back, I saw a guy coming, looked him in the eye and said, "Flock off Arsehole."

He got all huffy and said, "well there's no need to be rude about it." LOL

I chuckled all the way to my next plane.

Do helicopters count? If so, Chinook touch and go takeoff and landing practice at Camp Pendleton CA in 1971 (No, I'm not a marine, but that's a different story). What a rush that was! Next flight, same year, was from the West Coast back to the East Coast. Was on a flight that had Della Reese on board.
