Reply #35: RA here Bro'

[Bammo]

Joined the Army when I was 17 Bro', joined for Airborne Infantry and I'll be -- the SOB'S gave it to me --the whole nine free-kin yards! Young and Dumb Bro' - what can I say!

I hear ya' about the isolation shit Bro' --for sure! Did about the same damn thing when I finally got back here. Like you Bro' - I avoided a lot of people and places. Kind of still do Bro' - somethings never change! LOL

Got married Bro' and my wife (still married) hooked me up with this Combat Medic from the 9th Inf. Div. (Phycodelic Flower) LOL- Who ran a rap group Bro' for Nam Vets.

Did that group for quite a while and have to say - it didn't hurt me any! But it broke up and I went back to the same ol' -- until the Vet Center opened up in 83. Got a lot of help there Bro', met some idiots and a lot of squared away people. Then did a lot of groups and stuff at the VAMC. Still in a group there Bro'. Can't say it didn't help me out--to what degree - hard to tell !

One thing I know Bro' is that the Nam will always be there, you can't run, you can't hide from it!

Yeah wise Bro' -LOL--stay away from those SWAMPS - you'll only get banned sooner or later --most likely sooner!

Hang Tough~
