Other Memories 1. The taunting cries of "YOU'LL BE SORRY" from the old salts of a week or two military service, as we dragged our newly issued gear down Panama Street.
2. Being constantly reminded that we were "Fouled up worse than a Chinese fire drill in a whale boat" until we mastered the manual of arms and close order drill to the DI's satisfaction.
3.Pvt Elmer Ramsey making nightly illegal trips to the Rifle Range PX,to bring back Pogey Bait and Ice Cream to the guys in Hut G-9.
4.Murdering the ever present Cockroaches in the hut by soaking them in lighter fluid and lighting them up, or the old standby of frying them on the coal stove.
