I remember 1968 when Me, Duke & Stan were on Guard Duty and were ordered to jump into one of Four APC's, we had been asleep at the time. None of us had ever been in an APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) before! We were "Dispatchers!"...anyway, there were six of us in there with some Nasty looking Guy on top of us swinging around on a Swivel with an M-50! The APC stops & the Nasty Guy whispers to us "Deploy"!...with some urgency in his voice (Yikes!). We stared at him...we had no idea what he was talking about...the back ramp opens up & he yells! "Get the F!$%^&*ck out of here!!!@#$%^...." and that's a quote...Meanwhile Sarge is telling us not to "Lock & Load" our M-16's till he gives us the Order & that this is Not a Drill. Screw that! We all laid in Tall Grass waiting for the onslaught with Stan's Glasses fogging up...fortunatley, the only Guy coming through the weeds was Ho-Chi-Minh all by himself on a bicycle! They swore us to Secrecy, but that's how we caught Ho-Chi!

God Bless the SEALS!!! and The U.S. Military!
How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...
