a question for the older squaddies (circa 1980's)

[nickg]

"...but i am glad that I didnt serve in the early sixties or late fifties - now thats "older..."

Is 1965-96 early sixties, or am I not quite as ancient as I thought???

Errrmmmm - Naaahh .......thats pretty old actually ;-)

(well you started before me anyway so -'I FEEL GOOD NAH NA NAH NA NAH NA NAAH' [W Pickett cica 1970s])

anyway thats a great story - so how long was the old sarge actually IN the hospital for afterwards - and did they have to extract the pin surgically from his anus?
