Wow, I had no idea!I found a brand new, quite interesting website, the other day which shows all the recorded bombs dropped on London during the blitz.
Basically a massive red splat.

Do you miss boot camp. I can not say I do. But well it was an experience. I think some spoiled brats could need some time in boot campDec 7, 2004. Strantor wakes up to just shouting, first day in boot camp.
Weren't you voluntarily there? I recall you telling that it was your decision...Dec 7, 2004. Strantor wakes up to just shouting, first day in boot camp.
Let's see, boot camp is: a motivational instructor lead high intensity workout program, punctuated by workshops on folding clothes, shining shoes, making beds, marching, sexually transmitted diseases, and military history, in addition to fun team building exercises and trips to the gun range, that you get paid to attend. Free food, room and board to boot.Do you miss boot camp. I can not say I do. But well it was an experience. I think some spoiled brats could need some time in boot camp
Yes I was there voluntarily, and if not for the attached 4 year committment, I might go back every year or 2, as I don't have enough drive to keep myself on good shape.Weren't you voluntarily there? I recall you telling that it was your decision...
You should be a recruiter.Let's see, boot camp is: a motivational instructor lead high intensity workout program, punctuated by workshops on folding clothes, shining shoes, making beds, marching, sexually transmitted diseases, and military history, in addition to fun team building exercises and trips to the gun range, that you get paid to attend.

Thats cool but remember their bombs weren;t near as big or accurate as to what we have now. Just think of how many dots it would take to create a napalm bomb or daisy cutterI found a brand new, quite interesting website, the other day which shows all the recorded bombs dropped on London during the blitz.

----- Not allowed to talk about historical wars.Wow, I had no idea!
Well I was being facetious, but only partly. As time passes I tend to forget the bad and only remember the good. If you asked me while I was actually IN boot camp you'd probably get a totally different response, but I guess I am far enough removed fro. It to look back on it as a positive experience. I do specifically remember enjoying parts of it, but I have been described as a glutton for punishment. When I left boot camp, I had real abs for the first and last time inmy life. I lost 30 lbs in there.You should be a recruiter.
Yeah, he was voluntarily there. The All Volunteer Force been in effect for at least 37 years now.
And thank you for your service -- especially being willing to stand up at the time you did.The last drawing was March 12, 1975 for the year 1976. Ninety-five was the number from 1972 to 1976. My number, in 1972, was 263. I enlisted in Oct 1972 and retired in Nov 1994. I did my 22 and got out.
