Another out of the box thinking Steve. My Bar Girl went straight to the pool room . These civilians allow for so many possibilities. Robin.

I wouldn't mind a discount (for buying K&C's of course! ):wink2::tongue::tongue:.....bad girls, bad girls, what you going to do when they come for you......
These two do get around.
Another classic scene-gotta love free enterprise ! The Girls however, are NOT free
I really like this one, Steve. New Guard Post looks great. Figures go without saying. Also like how you incorporated TGM's Dodge (had to check the # on that bad boy to make sure).
Overall, a most realistic scene.
Making the most of the business opportunities !:tongue:
Keep safe mate. Got my first jab coming up on Thursday !

You are a fine and proper gentleman,,,the place was a bit larger maybe both the next doors combined,,She 18 ,was seated on a stool outside as entre bait in the twilight,,walking in with several other young and free fools temporarily,,I was last in line and noticed her,,doing a 180 frog leap and jumped over in one motion,,Wan laughed and it began a two and a half week syonara type affair, as i was broke sending most of my money to my first ex wife it must have been my humor or full bearing of my personality that saved the day,,plus I didnt interfere with her "job hours',,detached from my platoon to the airfield I did have time available,,
Of course in my usual way I blew that ,,Hitting on a couple of her co workers,,twins,,,TWINS !!!! in the ranks as she took a short trip to saigon w family,,
they or someone told,,honor among them and My welcome I was ready for ,,was Shouting the entire vocab the average female had,,to me ,,my family,, ancestors not born yet etc,,To add ridicule ,throwing a small gift I gave her, to the scene in front of everyone,,including LILY who was a numbah one mamasan Kickboxer,,it was "give me the key " Of course my stuff was in the street already,,across from the army CID office,,who had their turn then..
Caught a ride back to the airfield and slept in an empty tent with all the vacant cots ,,everyone still saying goodbye after me,,Re attached to my recon platoon from shortimer detail..
We left early the next morning,,convoy back to 1st Div HQ and managed to catch the Hope show and several 33s by 9 am,Joey heatherton going by in a jeep almost falling on her face ,,
A great christmas for a Boy on the town in love,,
thanks for the memories you and her,,,I can watch the ceiling fan ,hands behind the head,,,the three feet of straight black hair,,the way overdone make up on the kid face,,never looked into her eyes again
ex recon e-5 jh
one evening while in the lower depths of lilys and where ever the maze went ,the crowded hazy paradise room was given a walkthru by the local MP patrol,,A firm australian voice said to me,,,"lower your sleeves",,the three others,,Korean,,VietQC and an american ,, jumping up not wanting a frisk with a 45 under my shirt ,the American then said "Hes an American",,the Australian then,,"never mind yank" and left,,back to trying to promote the twins,,then innocently found out as a med malaria prevent ,,Downtown Aussys were supposed to roll down after dark,,as most everyone was in civs trying to look malibu..uniforms discouraged let alone weapons downtown.
During this educational nor official R and R,,I also found out the beautiful US ,,french run beaches ,,for the three day types plus the amusments,,restuarants etc made it quite the place,,unfortunatly two riflemen from the bn drowned the afternoon they had off,,surf in those same places and these two were from some inland state,,non swimmers,,again to my amazement in disney east,,Most all the LIFEGUARDS were U S Army for their tour,,what badges and decoration s I didnt know,,
Today Vung tau seems to be a much larger lovely tourist place well known or not,,same mountain looking over the beach,,vets of all sides mixing together,,
Another amusing pickadillo as a young man was one of my two visits to Saigon,,curious and a shotgun for a courier type jeep drive to Mac v hg,,pulled over a few minutes in traffic and the amazing crowd scenes ,,driving etc everywhere,,the "downtown Mps" as they were fondly called,, Shiney gloss helmets,,strached uniforms,,gloss jump boots etc,,,,Our jeep still standing out,,"why are you here?/? !st div papers of course,,why are you in those uniforms?? The usual regular mismatched jungle cuts,,,
Why are you carrying weapons ???etc etc wanting to leave as soon as possible I couldnt wait,,their time came the next tet,,no surprises,,
thank you all again,,old soldiers never die they just run on,,
