I was in a firefight in 1969. An RPG hit near me and took out 2 of my buds. I wasn't touched. Just couldn't believe it.... Sounds like you had angels surrounding you ![]() I think your right, still don't know why, after all these years. Thanks ![]() |

I can't believe that I will be graduating in May. I have been working on this degree since the beginning of 2006. I worked full time and did a FREE internship at the same time as doing the school work. Phew...glad I am almost done. What a wonderful accomplishment!! ![]() ![]() |

At 18, 2 weeks after high school graduation I enlisted in the Army. This was in 1974. Very brave thing for a somewhat naive young girl. First time I had been away from home for any appreciable time. Getting to South Carolina for basic training involved my first plane and city bus ride ever and I was surrounded by strangers. Getting off the bus at Ft. Jackson, immediately this man in a wierd lookin hat (drill sergeant) started screaming at us. I remember thinking, why is this man so angry and WTH have I done!! ![]() Basic was 2 months, July and August, in sometimes unbearable heat and humidity...needless to say the longest 2 months of my life and no doubt the same for many of the young girls there with me. That drill sergeant was still yelling when we all graduated!! I think of that girl who was so brave back then. Now, I don't think I could muster up that much courage. ![]() So...what have you done in your life that you look back on and think....I can't believe I did that?! I hear you! My whole life consists one "can't believe I did that" to the next one. I have also served in the Army for 6 years and neither I can believe i did that, but my best memories comes from that time! I just hope I'm gonna do more stuff very soon, which will make me say in the future, "I can't believe I did that!" ![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah, some of my fondest memories are of my time in the Army. Hopin I have a lot more 'can't believe I did that' times ahead for me as well! |
