Well, tetanus is bad enough.

I'm up on my shots. Get injured enough and you always get your boosters.

You were drafted and if so when? Or when did you enlist?

I enlisted in summer of 71. Figured the draft was coming my way anyway.

I see:Biography
D/2/1 ADA; 72nd AVN (ATC); TCLSC-E; USSAC FT Leonard Wood; HQ 93rd Sig Bde; HQ 35th Sig Bde ABN; A Co 327th SIg ABN; C Co 440th Sig, D Co 440th Sig. C Co 369th Sig

now depending on where you lived at the time and the month of your birth date, it is easy to determine if you were likely to be drafted.


note:93rd Sig Bde.. signal brigade? where did you go for AIT/signal school?

Prior to D/2/1 I was sent TDY to help close down 2nd CLSU-V , when i got to Can Tho the Unit was already gone. 28 days later I was in Germany.

I went to Ft Gordon, GA for several different schools during my career.

just a little context

 

[SmarterThanHick]

It's still a threat. Maybe not Aids, but lots of stuff can be on a dirty needle. That would survive. I'm not a medical person but please. a dirty needle is a dirty needle.

HIV is transmitted from a freshly contaminated needle stick to direct skin puncture in 0.3% of cases. Hepatitis C is 3%. Those numbers drops by 90% if the person is wearing a glove. Now imagine someone wearing a shoe. You can bend or break a needle in thick cardboard. You really think a bunch of people are going to take the time to make dirty needles and individually place them in the ground such that the points are sticking up, and that they will somehow penetrate a shoe and infect people with... something.

Next time just stop at "I'm not a medical person", please.

Were you in Viet Nam, SFC?

I didn't realize you were that old (no offense intended).

I served from 71 through 93. And yes i briefly visited beautiful south east asia.

You were drafted and if so when? Or when did you enlist?

Dante, no one got drafted 20 times. SFC Ollie re-enlisted, at the very least. And has likely seen action in many places other than Vietnam.

Thank you, because I was at Ft. Gordon. USMPS Most people do not remember Ft. Gordon trained MPs as well as Signla Corp. When I was there even though the war had wound down, there were loads of Vietnamese and looked to me, other Asian, military.

USAMPS was being phased out when I was there: Spring/Summer 1974

I'm still trying to determine if you were in any danger of being drafted. Danger you say? Why yes, because most Vietnam Era vets I know joined out of reasons other than patriotism, or they got drafted. Many lie about (not saying you lie) where they went and when. I rarely until recently (last few years) ever disclosed what I know and my experiences. I used to bait Boston area vets and others while I was volunteering for the 2004 Kerry run. Funny, many of Kerry's loudest opponents had lied about their records and their motives for serving.

Well, tetanus is bad enough.

Tetanus is actually from feces and not blood. The "rusty metal association" with tetanus is due to so many people on farms walking through pastures and stepping on nails or barb wire that a cow had crapped on years ago and the bacteria that causes tetanus can turn itself into a spore and survive in that environment for years. Also, the troops would be up to date on their tetanus shots.

Hey Dante, what's the point in slamming Ollie's service? He never claimed he signed up out of some deep patriotic fervor. Regardless of why he joined the Army, he went on to give 22 years of his life to it. Furthermore, he's one of the least obnoxious posters about his service (I should know, I am one of the most obnoxious posters).

Lay off man.

It's a fucking BOMB!!!


Dirty needles and razor blades serve only as extra shrapnel.


A needle prick is elementary when compared to a severed limb.

The article says as much. It just notes that they are tipping the bombs with needles and razors for the EOD crews.

It would certainly slow down the bomb squads' operations, given the panic that's ingrained over "dirty needles".

British squadies... Panic? I seriously doubt that. They're a hard ass bunch of dudes. Kudos to them for their bravery.

Lay off man.

I never demeaned his service. I am merely curious. If one defines themselves by their service as Ollie does (not that there's anything wrong with that) then curiosity and questions must be expected.

Now patriotism is another story.

People who define themselves by their patriotism are usually scoundrels.

I will always questions the motives and actions of those who publicly stand on their patriotism as a way to silence or condemn others (not saying Ollie has done that here).

Former Senator Max Cleland, lost three limbs in an accident in a combat zone. He was a signal Officer. A few days before he was on a base under attack. Khe Sanh

Cleland, was awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for valorous action in combat, including during the Battle of Khe Sanh on April 4, 1968.

I've met and spent time with Max Cleland. He's a terrific person, in every way.

So Ollie is a dork. You can blather on about everybody that suited up but I like to save my flag waving for heroes.

Ollie served..ok but Puuulleezzz.. pull up short on the medal awards.

Next thing I'll hear is how Ollie single handedly preserved my constitutional rights and everything.

There hasn't been a war where our way of life was up for grabs for almost 70 years. I'm not going to jump up and sing the star spangled banner every time some far reaching president wants to get some political bounce by starting a stupid war against some pitiful third world country.

So Ollie served...so what?

Looks like Max Cleveland served only to have that traitorous fuck Bush and That total scum bag traitor Karl Rove steal his seat with a smear campaign. Where was all the concern for a wounded soldier that served then? I didn't hear where Ollie used up so much as a box o band aides.

Fair enough. Sorry to jump your case.
