IUBillsFan Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 WOW...I am shocked... B) FYI he got his first purple heart nine days before he encounter enemy fire...according to his own book by Brinkley.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 WOW...I am shocked... B) FYI he got his first purple heart nine days before he encounter enemy fire...according to his own book by Brinkley. 5885[/snapback] I believe he got his first purple heart for cutting his finger while opening a can of spam.
_BiB_ Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 I believe he got his first purple heart for cutting his finger while opening a can of spam. 5912[/snapback] It might have been the old c-rat ham and eggs, which in it's own right deserves a purple heart (if you ever ate any).
VABills Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 It might have been the old c-rat ham and eggs, which in it's own right deserves a purple heart (if you ever ate any). 5922[/snapback] Hey I liked the ham and eggs. Wtach it buddy, you're gonna get in trouble mocking that good chow.
Alaska Darin Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Hey I liked the ham and eggs. Wtach it buddy, you're gonna get in trouble mocking that good chow. 5925[/snapback] You did not just call c-rat ham and eggs "good chow," did you?
VABills Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 You did not just call c-rat ham and eggs "good chow," did you? 5928[/snapback] Yup. They are better warm, but when you're in the field you gotta eat them cold. That mucus looking slime that was on them sometimes was a little gross, but overall not bad.

Quote, without linking, to a Drudge Report blurb that doesn't provide any links itself. [it's about halfway down on the right, folks.] I was wondering where you found this; then I asked myself where would a fellow like you get his news from. Drudge was my first guess. Whoopie doo.
DC Tom Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 You did not just call c-rat ham and eggs "good chow," did you? 5928[/snapback] But he's a jarhead. Not all servicemen get to dine in four-star cafeterias off fine china dressed in their natty blue Smurf BDUs every day. Some of them actually have to go out and roll around in the mud on occasion.

VABills Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 You heat them on the exaust manifold. 5953[/snapback] I yeah we had those when we were on 20 mile hikes. What exhaust manifolds?

Whoopie doo. 5944[/snapback] But then again if you actually look at THE BOOK you can find it for yourself...But that would take effort so some may not want to do that...
BRH Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 But then again if you actually look at THE BOOK you can find it for yourself...But that would take effort so some may not want to do that... 5962[/snapback] Have you read the book yet?
IUBillsFan Posted August 24, 2004 Author Posted August 24, 2004 Have you read the book yet? 5980[/snapback] Not finished yet but I do have it and most of the way through it...Some pretty good stuff. Parts that do discredit some of the SBVT say...The thing is I've thought that both sides aren't telling the whole truth that's why I'm reading both books...SBVT is next, hard to get much reading done with a 4 year old and a nine month old

I'll be interested in what you think after getting through both of them!
OnTheRocks Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 I believe he got his first purple heart for cutting his finger while opening a can of spam. 5912[/snapback] I thought he got it while torching the civilian village.

Do they still issue p38's? Great tool!!
