Mike Papa Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 11 hours ago, Rabbi said: When I was a kid, this was a really big deal. There was even a ritual. You waved and he waved back. I do not remember the last time I saw a caboose on an in service train. The last time I rode a train was in 1987. It was actually an Army Guard Car. Me and two of my MPs were volunteered by our 1SG to do security on an equipment train retuning from NTC desert training in California to Ft Benning GA. We were told it was an actual Guard Car from WW2 era and that only three remained on active duty. The three MPs that rode it on the way out had MRE as the training hadn’t started. We were at NTC for 45 days. When it was time for us to return, the word went out to all mess sgts that any leftover food should be sent for the train crew. We were on the train for a week and we had enough food for a month. The car had a kitchen and we ate really good. We had a few crazy adventures along the way on what should have been a non-adventure. Plus added a week to our NTC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was amazing because it could perform square roots (If you had the time). We spent many hours over a time using it. I don't remember the last time I used a Mechanical Calculator When I started working in the mid 70s, we had these Fridens... Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide, and they could do square roots - but took a long time. At night we would set them up to take the square of something that doesn't resolve.... Then go for coffee. They would still be working (noisily) after a half an hour or so... Sometimes they would 'stick up' and not function well. The fix was to lift it about an inch and drop it on the desk. That usually fixed it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on an old trunk line and the electric company has promised to put in new line for the last 28 years. Hasn't happened yet. I used to keep one handy to diagnose phone issues. The house phone had a habit of going out. 3 hours ago, Hannie Caulder said: I can't remember the last time I had ice cream.

That was an interesting 3 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I found out I was getting promoted, I asked to have them pinned on in the desert in the middle of nowhere. I was with HHC, 197th Infantry Brigade (M)(S). We had an MP Platoon for Headquarters Security. The Dollar Ninety Seven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were too small a unit to do anything with, but attach to the OpFor. The Old Guard was a Light Infantry Battalion, but a good deal of our time was spent doing military funerals, other ceremonies, C&C functions and training, etc. there was never a time that the entire battalion, or even two companies could have been freed up for three weeks of training like that. Delta company is the one that got the nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
