There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Reminds me on my time in the Army. We had a little comrade who was around 105Kg by 175cm and we had to lift him over the barricades. Nice guy but after the third barricade we had a little !+*/...feeling for him.

Hey Mark, not sure about the gas traps, but it looks like they have gas masks. Is Fort Sheridan still in the north suburbs of Chicago? I was ther alot in the 70's. They had a pretty good museum, and a golf course, but I seem to remember that it was sold.....Frank

Frank from wikipedia
Fort Sheridan is a neighborhood spread among Lake Forest, Highwood, and Highland Park[1] in Lake County, Illinois, United States
. It was originally established as a United States Army Post named after Civil War Cavalry General Philip Sheridan, to honor his services to Chicago. When the fort was officially closed by the Army on 3 May 1993[2], the town remained as a civilian settlement. Most of the original housing structures were refurbished and the residential community has grown substantially in recent years.

Spent some time there a few years ago. Was on the second string of the 5th Army Rifle Team. Beautiful range, safety impact area was the lake. Red flags were posted on the bluff and small craft were supposed to stay out. A watch was posted, and for the really obtuse the CG could be called. My ex once had a Memorial Day for the German POWs buried there. Swastikas in a US cemetery, my, my.
