[Night Hides Not]

Truth be told, the services do need more money for training, and less money for the new toys (weapons systems) the Generals want.

I remember way back in ‘77 driving my POV out to a site where one of my squads was training in an open field, away from the motor pool. It was in August, and there were no training funds remaining.

I received my additional training by volunteering for temporary duty with a sister battalion participating in Reforger ‘77.

I received some derision from that, but I had the last laugh, when my platoon was the only one of four platoons to pass during a tactical evaluation.

I’m a veteran too. Glad my service didn’t occur in times like these.
