I guess every group getting new members has some sort of ritual when they arrive. I've heard that which happens in the military can be quite cruel. I think you got off easy. I enjoyed this, my friend~Debbie

This is a great yarn with some fun details, but fun is often had at other people's expense. I hope Smuckatelly's date with the cooperative Helga went well!

Comment from Zala Jam
An interesting read and an amusing insight into the goings-on in the army. There were a few mistakes as far as text editing is concerned (e.g. the second line of the Germany part skips into the next line with no reason and repeats the word "was", and in the first sentence of the third paragraph of the Germany part there should be no "and" as the first part of the sentence is a subordinate clause of reason), but a reread should take care of those mistakes. Otherwise, a great story!

Turkey 1966 it was sterile fallopian tubes and prop wash. The fallopian tube went went south when the Chief Nurse got involved, she gave a newbie a cathiter with th instructions that the SOB's could see her if there were any questions. The wash went the same way when base supply got a solvent for cleaning props.

Comment from Loren .
Not only a great story but a history lesson as well as a walk down memory lane. True to form the water we were treated and likewise treated others. Usually all in good fun and a way to build comradeship. Best of luck in the contest! Loren

I love that he also got a date with Helga. He not only got the white out but he also got a date. That really back fired. I guess the whole thing back fired but look at the story you got. It was a fun read and made me laugh.

Funny - good - sounds like your "Gomer Pyle" gotcha' . Pushups - my hubby was in army 6 years - he has tales of training times. Like going under barbed wire with live ammo being fired above you. Great story - keep it up.

I did the same thing, if you want a trip do it at night turn over on your back and watch the tracers. Thank you for reading and reviewing my work.

LOL! That backfired big time! It reminded me of when my brother was an apprentice mechanic, they sent for a tin of elbow grease, and some sky hooks! Poor thing didn't live it down for months. I like Smuckatelly, he's a wise man! lol, Well done, Earl, I love these stories. :)) Sandra xx
