Tom Servo Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 Part time, uh contruction worker I guess, i work for my friend's dad doing decks, gazeebos, cement, digging(lots and lots of digging). I also set up punk and hardcore shows every now and then, I get a few dollars from that. I also do photography when I can afford the film, but that doesn't pay, just a hobby, oh and I'm a full-time ww2 reenacter although that only happens once every 2 months. lucero1148, I've thought about becoming a photojournalist, but I just can't seem to find the ambition. I've considered becoming a history teacher too, but I assume you need a high school dimploma for that and some college time.. pfft, hehe ------------------ Formally Tom punkrawk "Tomorrows killed by yesterday..." -Link80 Go to my soldiers at war page~!! http://www.geocities.com/soldiersat_war or I'll sick a goat on you!

Chris Jenkins Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 History student at Arizona State. I am between possible futures right now. Professor? Private investigator? Should I learn C and JAVA? Should I become an Imam (Muslim minister)? As a recent convert, I have a great deal of interest, but is it the right thing? Spent 3 years in the Army as a grunt, but I also worked at battalion staff. I knew a Bill Wood as a kid. Probably not the same one on this post. He was an Air Force officer. ------------------ Allahu Ackbar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maus Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 Now I'm sure there is someplace worse in the US but I have trekked across a lot of land here and yeah, Ft. LW is a real hell. Before I experienced that place I didn't know what a temperate jungle was. In the winters that place wasn't all that bad but the summers, Oh My! Some of the vegetation in the creek valleys, lowlands and flood plains is literally impassable. I have heard so many ticks falling from trees trying to get a piece of me that it sounded like rain as they bounced off leaves on the way down. I saw poor souls stumble into tick nests. Those guys were still pulling ticks from their bodies nearly a week later. In the summer, a good day was when at the end of the day during the simian -like grooming session we called "tick shake downs" only 10 or less ticks were found on you. You were lucky if you were infested by "Lone Star" ticks. They are larger and therefore much easier to spot than their mini cousins. I'm not sure how they manage but those damn things are nearly indestructable! I grew to actually prefer ticks to chiggers though. The chiggers, in my experience, were much worse at Ft Riley than at Ft. LW. When you get chigger bites (or whatever exactly they do to you), you get a TON of them concentrated around your sock line and around your waist and there is nothing you can do but try not to scratch and wait till they go away. The first time I encountered them I ended the day with about 150 bites! Copperheads were as common as squirrels in a old lady's suburban back yard. Not fun. Hell, I haven't talked about the heat and humidity. It wasn't that much worse than where I grew up (Chicagoland, Illinois) but you always clothed from head to toe in somekind of tucked in, chemical soaked, textile. Oh, I almost forgot going up and down those steep foothills (avoiding stepping on poisonous snakes when you could) getting tangled up in skin slicing wire (I'm not sure if it was trip wire or some of that guide wire from missiles from the A10's that would occasionally fart their way around). A couple of weeks after digging up some unexeploded mortar rounds at Ft. Riley ( I got to watch the demo. guys "remove" them ) I was "killed" by some troops training in the woods of Ft. LW by their "claymore" (I was walking and felt a tug on my leg, which was not unusual, but this time a firecracker-like device went off a couple of feet to my right---it scared the absolute **** out of me) Then there was the town of St. Roberts. Prostitutes, cheap hotels, strip bars (all "I'm going to try and hold back the vomit" BAD), and drunken teenagers. That place is the asshole of Missouraahhh. Enough complaining... I'm going to give myself nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoop88 Posted June 1, 2000 Share Posted June 1, 2000 Fort Lost-In-The Woods . . . you guys bring back bad memories. Not only basic training (Alpha-Four-Three to the DMZ, first to fight, last to run Drill Sergeant!) and AIT (Delta-One-Five, but no stupid thing to yell at the Drill Sergeant because the DI was too cool to care), but also spent two summer camps and one weekend there running around in the woods with my ARNG unit (Headquarters Detachment, 880th Engr Bn). Our Command Sgt. Major, old pro that he was, made us wear dog tick collars around our ankles at the bootline. Never got a tick at Leonard Wood. Fort Riley was the worst of the three Army posts I had the misfortune of living in (the other was Fort McCoy, Wisc.). Riley is in the middle of nowhere. Was there when Tricky Dicky Nixon announced his resignation, and none of the NCO or enlisted men's clubs had a TV! So I couldn't watch Dick sweat and squirm! And to get back on topic, former sportswriter for the late great St. Louis Globe-Democrat (got to cover the Whitey Herzog Cardinals — now there was a great baseball manager). Now we've got an American League team masquerading as the Cardinals. Instead of speed, defense and pitching, we've got 24 guys trying to be Mark McGwire. One power-hitter does not a team make. Now working in PR for the makers of Budweiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
