Vietnam vet checking in

[Galaxy]

Just want to stop by and introduce myself. New to the forum but by no means new to the forum content. My interest in this subject goes back to 1968. I like to stay on top of all the news relating to marijuana and I'll be posting most of what I find. So, any other old timers here?

[headshake]

i look forward to seeing all the wonderful, informative postings!

thanks for your service! what branch?

Hello Galaxy and welcome!

Any other oldtimers? I qualify, I guess. Vetern also, but Korea, U.S Army Signal Corp.

Did work for my rich Uncle Sam during the end of the VN era as a civilian contracter doing communications. Lived in Laos and then Thailand for a few years. (In VietNam for a few days only, thank God)

Welcome home Galaxy and thank you for your service back then.

Not in my platoon. I spent one typhoon in a whore house after I ditched the MPs who were chasing me. they caught my buddy/roomie who was on leave with me at the time. Good to know the Mamma sans in the town!!!!!!!!! :jointsmile:
