New shirt

Years ago when the family went on vacation we were coming home and was driving through Snyder Texas, i got pulled over for something, probably speeding. any way the cop was writing me a ticket and he went to hand it to me and looked down at my t shirt and said something and then proceded to make us get out of the truck so he could call backup to search my truck..

When the dipsticks finally got through finding nothing and we was about to leave i said it was the shirt wasn't it. he said yes.
 
I enlisted in 74. I dropped out of highschool at 16 and had my dad sign for me at 17. Back then it was technically still Vietnam era and the quota was 55% grads 45% non grads. My dad was a career soldier and told me I didn't know what I was getting myself into. If anything it taught me about respect. Spent my 18th birthday in Germany. The US Army has changed quite a bit I imagine since then. We had C-ration and were still wearing the steel pot and fatigue. Hell you got cigarettes with C-ration. Born on a Army base and so was my brother. My mom was a WAAC and that's how my dad met her when he was stationed in Germany. In my day drill sergeants were still carrying 1911s and they were still being used in combat.
To think this rant was started about a T shirt.....

It’s all good. I’m used too the stories.
