Bob-- That's another great dinner meal!! Breaded liver, with onions and gravy with Mashed potatoes. Loved it. When they served it in the mess hall at basic training, I would get tons of friends giving me their "livers" as they would not eat it and the drill sergeants would inspect their trays to ensure food was not being wasted. I liked the liver sandwiches too! Just could not get caught with them in the barracks. LOL!!

Field experience hardens people

It does for a fact. I still see it every day, thankful for my time in and experiences.

Jim-- Same to you. No matter what army we serve in the experiences are generally the same. I can say the best training I had was at the NTC in Ft. Irwin, CA. I was there right before the second dance in the sand box. it was very tough training that push you to your limits. It actually made the "special military operations" invasion a lot easier. I forgot who said if you sweat your blood in training you will not lose it in combat. Again thank you for your experiences and service.
