Re : Post #28
~ Great post! Thank you! I especially liked, “ My dad would jokingly upset him saying a Marine Sergeant had more authority on the battlefield than an Army Colonel.”
Brilliant...
Thanks for the reply. I loved the old man but would not have wanted to be one of his boots at Camp Pendleton. He took us on 50 miles hikes in the High Sierra’s and even at 18 and 130 lbs. I could barely keep up with him and he was 30 years older. None of my sisters could have survived those hikes with 75 lbs. of gear 10 miles a day in severe terrain meant for deer and mountain goats.
