Keep your finger away from the "enter" button.....There's no tellin' what kinda effect your Parkinsons will have on the computer.

I've been right more than once....You were just too drunk to appreciate the correct answer.

Greywolf,

Like my friend Doc Hal said-----WELCOME ABOARD----and---WELCOME HOME.

Just because you're not rated "service-connected" dosen't mean you can't get some help at the VA clinics or VET Centers. They'll still see you and may be able to help.

And, like Doc Hal---------I usually don't put a whole lot of credibillity to what our other brother, Bob K (alias--- bOOgerLee) has to say. He's just a poor old retired Yankee that usually goes on and on about his relationships with "barnyard critters" and stuff like that.

But, in this case he IS right on.

My dear southern Brother J.E.B. Paco just retired as a first rate PTSD and mental health counselor and may possibly be able to steer you in the right direction. He has helped many of us on this site as well as countless others during his lengthy career.

I myself will not be able to attend the "festivities" on the mountain top this November.

But, PLEASE---PLEASE consider making the trip up with Stick this year, I'm certain it will be productive and enjoyable for you.

I'm gonna be in Arlington, Virginia and Washington, D.C. from November 4 thru November 11 for two reasons. One to commemorate the 40th anniversary of my wounding in combat on November 5, 1967 along with the deaths of a few other fine troops who died that night. And to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Vietnam Memorial Wall during this week. Otherwise I'd more than likely be on that mountain top in "Jawga" visiting with my brothers (and sisters).

Hope you can make it.

Dem 2 suthern boys are just a wee bit jealous because I'm always right and.........So what if I have a fetish for farm animals, but at least I narrowed it down to the ones with 4 legs.......Well maybe a chicken or 2.
With all that being said, grab your sleeping bag, hook up with your dad-in-law and head up to the mtn in Nov.

Sounds like a good time. I'd like to go but I don't have any camping gear and money is really tight. And I mean TIGHT. Especially with Christmas coming. I have no idea on how much this trip would cost. Food, gas, gear, and whatever else I would need. Hell, is there a fee for the camping area? All I have to sleep in is my old poncho liner and a mountian in Nov. sounds pretty cold. Maybe ya'll could post some more info. on the camping trip so I'd have a better idea of what I'm up against. I'd like to go.

Greywolf-

It is likely that gas for the round trip will be your only expense. Gear? Sleeping bag or a couple of blankets. If you don't have those, holler and I'll bring extra. Check with Stick about details. There is normally plenty of food and it is (mostly) prepared by Ray (a not-presently-serving,I know better than to refer to any Marine as "ex", Marine) who deserves to be a chef in a 4-star joint. The main hazard is not going hungry; but gaining too much weight. BobK usually brings along a PU load of beer and it's always good to see it...him...I meant to say him.

Welcome home Doug and Jennie, happy to have you here and Doug, most of us here know about bunkers. The hard part is getting out of them and there ain't no better folks in the world than those right here screaming "all clear." A good deal of us had "security clearances" and what they entailed ain't going out for publication from them or out here but let me assure you that your in a secure area and can be at ease. The only shooting is them darn potatoes on the mountain but even those are out going and not in coming. If we do go to the mountain I have foam mattresses and sleeping bags that fit perfectly in the back of the van and you definetly won't leave the mountain hungry. Gonna need exact dates and directions after we get to Harold Pritchett again though. I'll miss that darned mismarked mailbox for sure. Doug, if you get here, we'll get there.
Sorry folks, didn't mean to hang dirty laundry and hope that I've not damaged any relations from any and all of you. Thanx for making family welcome.

No camping fees
No food fees
No brown alcohol fees
We just sit by the campfire and pass coments to each other while Hal
passes gas.
If the Mobil 4 star rated camper is available, you can sleep there.

John, we looked out and fought for each other in the jungles of Vietnam , I can see no reason we should stop just cause we are back in the world. You are my brother.

[GreyWolf]

Well, seems that the price is right up my alley. I should be going as long as Stick is going. He is gonna be my ride after all. Ya'll don't have to worry about the beer thing either. God made me allergic to the stuff. Doggone it. I drink the hard stuff. But only once in a long while. Sure could use that sleeping bag, Stick. BTW, what type of clothing will I need? Just how cold is it gonna be up there? Oh and how long of a stay will it be? I'm just full of questions, aint I?

As the self-appointed nearly sane therapist for the site I must tell you that Bob K. and Paco Tom aren't quite with the program. Now most the guys are a pretty stable bunch, as stable as an vet can be. But you have those two fringe area characters lurking about the woods up there on the mountain. Well, the mountain is a place for brave men and foolish innocent girls like, Tina and Gracie. Just Beware, its scary up there. :lol:
