GOOD LORD MAN, GET THAT HAND OUT OF YOUR POCKET AND STAND UP STRAIGHT....LOL

Not bad pics for military photos. I have become aware over the years that none of my friends are photographers as almost every pic of me is fuzzy at best.

ALL my R&R pictures are fuzzy. It wasn't the camera.

Ken, I loved being at the 503rd. I loved being a divisional MP...it was the best of both worlds. Worked the road and went to the field a lot and being in West Germany the whole time was an added bonus. Mike

Your rubberized boots were a good idea.

Was not in the service but worked in FRG in summer of 80
Was given rubber stiefeln...boots for the farm work.
Called them my junior storm trooper boots. Boss said he was
Panzer driver in eastern front; lots of war stories from anyone you spoke to.
More that a few American GIs in
The Munich Beer halls. Nice summer.

Nice. So young and so very long ago . . . .

As that 50th birthday fades behind us, our memories become something of a double-edged sword. :icon_silent:
