Here I am, 1 week into the basic training thing they called "The Reception Station." May 1986.

Here I am after jungle survival training in the Philippines. September 1987.

And being promoted to E-4 Specialist, about July 1988. Had I re enlisted, I would have gotten my bump up to Corporal.

And sometimes, I wore a wig onstage because it looked silly to be headbanging with super short hair.

Sorry for the dark pic, at the time I was using a Kodak disc camera......... Anyone remember those??

And I am the soldier on the left side as viewed. (look for the arrow). We were approximately 110' up on 120' ropes that stretch 1/3 their length.

That was a super fun cool day. The worst thing about all of it............. I am really afraid of heights. I don't fear falling, I just fear decelleration trauma. Plus I would make a mold for gorilla cookies!!!

I also got to train with Soviet weapons................... Ak-47, and RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher. And their answer to our M-60, I forgot it's name.

One of my buds here in this one, He's got AK-47's and I have the RPG-7

My brother, my dad, and I............ Christmas 87, I forget.

Self portrait at Waikiki Beach.........See I have been doing that for a long time.

Getting ready for a Dress Greens inspection............ I got the day off for my uniform being "Squared away."

You look like somebody I'd want on my side in a fight!

WHOLLY SHITE, HAIRY!!!

Those pics are awesome.

Elfie's right! I would never want to tangle with you. Or better yet I'd be like the kid who wants you on MY side.

We were on the far side of Schofield. The Artillery and Mortar guys fired on the hill behind there a lot. Mostly training rounds. No sence reshaping the mountain, or starting fires.

Left of that pic was the road to Kolekole pass.
(Pronounced...Coal-E,coal-E.)
