Here is one I sent home after coming back from 3 months in Camp Zama,, no chuckles,, My mom was an Army nurse in WW II,, so she insisted on details. The blue arrow is pointing to the big scar.
I had put on a couple lbs sitting in the O club playing the slots & parting with a young lady that was spending her summer with her parents. Her dad was an 06 at the hospital...
When I got back, I was assigned Div HQ Co XO, forward, in Phuoc Vinh(?). I baby sat 300 REMF's,,, Nuff said... Here I'm standing with my 1st Sgt and the E7 who had the EM & NCO mess. Among other tasks, I had 2 EM mess, 1 NCO mess, 1 O mess, the Generals mess, 2 EM clubs, 1 NCO club, and 1 O club.

JJ,
That picture indicates you hadn't missed to many good meals and I assumed some very good booze considering that your assigned position had some excellent perks as top dog in the Div HQ Co XO.............................
