Some of ya'll are hotter than we are here in Central Texas. but, I got some brahma in me...I'm heat tolerant.
When it turns cold tho, I'm a weenie...
I'm gonna jog some memories for a few of you and probably not in a good way.
1AM this morning on the dot, while I was getting done with my midnight swim, these appeared in the sky and immediately after, the gun flashes, then the 'BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,BOOM BOOM! The windows rattled, I could see the gun muzzle flashes. Must have had high elevation because usually I don't see the flashes. Tanks or arty, I don't know. The Boys in the Hood (Ft Hood) were playing big time. I get a front row seat, especially at night. I also hear every bugle call from reville to taps and since there's a Cav Division there (1st Cav Div) along with the 3rd Cav regiment, there are LOTS of bugle calls.(Cav loves their bugles)
I really remember those flare drops when my squadron did them in RVN, and too, the ones that were dropped or fired out beyond the Marble mountains and that 105 recoiless rifle would start barking from up on one the peaks. Pretty common when I was down in Guantanamo Bay too. The Marines on the fence line liked to see what was out there among the minefields.
