Vietnam vet checking in

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?

welcome galaxy! glad to have you here at cancom.

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.

hey welcome to the forum man!

Thank you for fighting for our country.

Thanks guys. To answer Headshake's question, US Army RVN 70-71

good deal galaxy! but you do know what army stands for right?

Aren't Ready to be Marines Yet!

i was in the marines. avionics technician on AH-1Ws and UH-1N. granted, this was from '97-'02. i just missed going to iraq in 2002. i was in okinawa japan, during the middle of a typhoon, when Sept 11th happened. my EAS was jan. and they put a stop loss on my MOS in feb!

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:
