^Were you in the same jungle school down there as Liberal?

Most know that I was never in the service, but I remember hearing stories from the Vietnam Veterans about the jungle.  They'd get back and a year or so later still be treating jungle rot.

Thankfully no. I was down there for a training mission and it didn't involve the jungle.  Tip of the hat to liberal. That's not an easy school to pass.

Believe it or not there are a fair amount of U.S. Citizens that retire down there because of the cost of living.

A 25 year old Infantry soldier died in Air Assault school last week. He died on the first day of training during a 6 mile run with a 30lb rucksack on his back.  I don't think it's a very common occurrence they usually weed out the people physically unable to complete the course on day 0. You run two miles then go through an obstacle course and it is exhausting.
