I have a book of stamps ow and get to write a whole lot. Huzzah!

[SirHoneyBadger]

I thought it was the Korean War they refused to acknowledge as a war.

Not that I'm aware of... Vietnam was the really controversial one. That's why they set M.A.S.H. in Korea, instead of Vietnam, even though it was pretty much assumed they were taking shots at the "police action", which is what Vietnam was designated for a long time. And why movies like Apocalypse Now and Born on the 4th of July were such a big deal. I know that a lot of Vietnam vets had problems, once they got back to the States. People were protesting, and some of that protest was directed at our soldiers.

As far as I know, Korea was always a war.

Ironically enough, the Korean War is known as the Forgotten War. And you just forgot if people thought it was a war or not.

Hello everyone!

I'm on family weekend!


I've got until 1800 on Sunday to do whatever I want. The parents drove down and even brought one of the cats (to my complete surprise). I'm chilling in a very nice hotel room right now.

Monday is the beginning of tank training.

Nice! Hello, strife.
How is it?

[inaluct]

How's boot camp going?

[Strife26]

Boot camp is technically over, although it's going to be pretty similar for my Advanced training. It wasn't as tough as I thought it would be, honestly.


I'm greatly enjoying eating slowly, pop, and sleeping in.

[Aqizzar]

Holy shit, hey Strife.  Fuck, now I'm really ashamed I haven't sent a letter in a while.  I've been up to my ass in my own stuff and haven't sat down to write one.

But hey, if you want those song lyrics still, SirHoneyBadger compiled them for me for you.  Or whatever.  Good to see you anyway.

[ToonyMan]

Hey Strife!

[Jackrabbit]

Hey bro! Good to see you back.

[sonerohi]

I've been keeping up with this mostly, but I might not have everything down straight so forgive me if this has been asked already. Strife, will you ever get to do paradrop training for any reason at all?

[Aqizzar]

Strife, will you ever get to do paradrop training for any reason at all?

Considering he's training to be a tank crewman, that's either impossible or awesome.

Speaking of which Strife, do actually know what position you could wind up in?  I assume being a driver or gunner or any other spot is a matter of somebody's decision instead of promotion.

Para-dropping-Tank Crewman?

[Heron TSG]

Hey, Strife! A boatload of letters may hit you soon. I'm not sure if you've received the ones I last sent, due to the variations in the postal service.

So what does tank training involve nowadays? Tanks aren't too common on modern battlefields, are they?

[Nirur Torir]

Hi, Strife!
