Pete, the flight pay wasn't for those flights, it was for the other ones. It and "combat" pay have one thing in common. The actual condtions that must be met to receive the pay, aren't worth the pay. But we were young and not so bright back then. We looked at it as free money for beer.

Re: OT: gun it does have guns in it
Thanks Pete....great pictures. Here is a picture of "the Pig" from the mid-80's at Fort Carson, CO...spent most of my time as a 60 gunner there. A fickle mistress she was.......

If you think the 60 was a pig, you should try it's replacement the 240B. I just spent some time last week packing one around the MT mountains with 40lb ruck, body armor, and half the basic load of 1200. It sucks being the big guy sometimes.

Re: OT: gun it does have guns in it
You have my respect Frank. As I was told as a young private..."This thing will either kill you or make a man out of you". I often carried the Pig, tripod and my own ammo load, along with my Ruck/cold weather gear over those mountains. I will never be in that kind of shape again......

PBR in a steel can, what a memory. At least it kept better in a conex in the ChuLai sun than Bud or Miller.

What happened to the Bud and Miller cans? Did they cook off? If they did, that would be the world's most disgusting conex.
