On this date...

 ...forty years ago -- Holy Crap! -- I got on a plane that took me from Detroit to Saint Louis, and then on a bus that took me from Saint Louis to that pleasure spot known to the US Army as Fort Lost-In-The-Woods, Misery, where I was introduced to the tender mercies of Staff Sergeants Daily and Graves.

By the way, a note to "Gunny" fans everywhere: Anyone who wears the "Brown Round" and "Pumpkin badge" is probably fully skilled and capable of the same shtick
