Yeah. I guess most of us all run through times when others question our sanity as were are little more than beast.I have had my spells too.Was sent by my CO to see a head shrinker after my first trip to Vietnam and the Captain there had been drafted in from the reserves.He asked .Well what is the problem? I says I think I will go AWOL for an April Fool Joke as this side of the pond is boring after Vietnam.He scribbled on paper awhile and says if you are gone over thirty days you will get 6 months hard labor.Now what do you say? I says. I'll do it! He says.You know. I might just go along too. Give these papers to your Captain and tell him I may want to give him an examination next.So I did.Then walked to the highway.Stuck out my thumb and stopped when I got to Houston.The CO called.I got back on the 17th day.Walked up to his door.Knocked and said APRIL FOOL! Spent 6 days hard labor and the General sent me back to my unit.That was crazy but with the guys that count, crazy is hero. It is the crazy who do the best in war.----------------------------------- I think Ronbo is doing OK,From the info I have available.Anyway.Illay. I am glad you sent mail. Mine would not scoot out of the Yahoo mailbox.Ronbo was always a nice guy .Just a bit carried away on some things. Glad to see you Andy J.I see CS here often. ------------------ ILLAY.Check your mail. I miss a lot of the old friends we used to have here.Maybe the next world will be non political.
