3. Hey Glorfindel, you must be an old fart like me. I was in basic Jun-Jul '66.

Fortunately, I was at Fort Bliss, TX (El Paso). Flat (easy running), and it was a dry heat. My reward was AIT in Ft Polk, LA. No "dry heat" there, ha.

SOS, favorite breakfast. Sometimes with chipped beef, sometimes with ground beef. Both were great.

I didn't know the Army had a birthday. We didn't celebrate it. I remember the relaxing times in the front-leaning-rest position.

TEB, I won't have any birthday cake today, maybe a shot of Bourbon.
