IMAGINE HOW I gasped May 13 ’69 she 29, walked thru the Spangdahlem O Club door my 1st day there up from Frankfurt AB Aeroport hotel overnight then 3 hr Blue Goose bus ride to Eifel Mtns far W Ger. Took 2 years till May 25 ’71 32nd to get to Carson City Ct House and the JP $20 and 20 min I promised. Then blew it out a bit at old Tahoe Harvey’s. I knew how to plan a time effective mission. Accomplished fer sure . The folks were more ga ga than I. 8
Re: My gal
Actually Hell was a lot of fun just scared shitless and trying not to show caused the PTSD. Better’d been out crying nights in the outhouse latrine. Old suck it up and stick it out hoping for the best which did come. So you missed the Yokota AB giant BX Bazaar in Fussa 20 min from big city Tachi. All dwarfed by Tokyo itself. But did discover ‘Guam is good’. Still nothing beat coasting into land of big BX where 1st you notice the streets are WIDE and grid straight. Even well lit nights. Knew you were home at last. 8
BB , 2 NC Marine are Camp Lejune but Cherry PT is the only MCAB. And my long term plan to age 31 was to wander world until one fine day she’d get off a train plane or bus and that’d be it. I was the one off the bus, she lived there. My Speedster was crossing Atantic another month slow like from Army Charleston .
