You’re giving me PTSD, LOL!

Crammed into cattle cars to get out to the firing range where we got to fire weaponry and blow sh#t UP! (Luv My M72 LAW!) Army efficiency at it’s best!

I miss The Life every day, even if I STILL fire assorted weaponry and blow sh#t up from time to time. ;)

Dad used to do a lot of sailing in the Caribbean. There are PIRATES in those waters. He kept an empty M72 with him and would wave it around from time to time if he felt another boat was getting too close for comfort. ;)

If you still own the M72, would love to go fishing with you for muskies at Lac Courte Oreilles. I’ll bring the beer and earplugs.

I was a lowly dependent during my youth, but I'm still Army to the core ;-)
