I was there Jan 75 thru Jun 77 and I remember the gang. How are you all doing. You all were MP's and I was with the tower rats and LCT. Don't know if you remember me or not.

Take care,

The old man headed straight for the
only saloon in town to clear his
parched throat.

He walked up to the saloon and tied
his old mule to the hitch rail.

As he stood there brushing some of
the dust from his face and clothes, a
young gunslinger stepped out of the
saloon with a gun in one hand and a
bottle of whiskey in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the
old man and laughed, saying, 'Hey
oldman, have you ever danced?'

The old man looked up at the
gunslinger and said, 'No, I never did
dance, -- just never wanted to.'

A crowd had gathered quickly and the
gunslinger grinned and said, 'Well,
you old fool, you're gonna' dance
now,' and started shooting at the
oldman's feet.

The old prospector in order to not
get a toe blown off or his boots
perforated was soon hopping around
like a flea on a hot skillet and
everybody was laughing fit to be
tied.

When the last bullet had been fired
the young gunslinger, still laughing,
holstered his gun and turned around
to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule,
pulled out a double barreled shotgun,
and cocked both hammers back. The
loud, audible double clicks carried
clearly through the desert air.

The crowd stopped laughing
immediately. The young gunslinger
heard the sounds too, and he turned
around very slowly. The quiet was
almost deafening.

The crowd watched as the young gunman
stared at the old timer and the large
gaping holes of those twin barrels.

He found it hard to swallow. The
barrels of the shotgun never wavered
in the old man's hands.

The old man said, 'Son, did you ever
kiss a mule's ass?'


The boy bully swallowed hard and
said, 'No. But I've always wanted
to.'

There are two lessons for us all:


1. Don't waste ammunition.


2. Don't mess with old people.]]> no_email@example.com (AGTC) http://www.bravo256ada.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=334#334 http://www.bravo256ada.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=333#333

Bravo Alumni,
Received a surprising phone call this evening from a long lost Bravo Maintenance 'partner' (Governor) who I hadn't heard from in 'years'. SFC Pat Whalen, USA, Retired. Pat said he was going through an old address book and came across our name and felt guilty for not making contact sooner. Pat stated that he has come through some 'hard times' since we last saw each other, so it's understandable why he's been 'out of contact' for so long. He's lost all his teeth, has gone through three bouts of cemotherapy and radiation for tongue and face cancer and then he also lost his third wife. He has never got caught up in the 'computer/internet craze', so he has no email address, but I'm sure he would sure like to hear from y'all; address and phone number are as follows:
Pat Whalen
10835 Frazier Crt.
El Paso, Tx. 79935-1408
Ph# 915-593-2348
As for Me, I'm retiring from USPS effective 1 January 2010. Decided it's time to start enjoying the grandkids, up north (Michigan and Iowa) and start doing some things that we've put off for years before we get too old and can't enjoy them. Later,
Bob and Hilda Aplin]]> no_email@example.com (Carter) http://www.bravo256ada.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=332#332 http://www.bravo256ada.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=331#331 Sent in by Bill Robbins


Chutzpah is a word meaning gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, sheer guts plus arrogance; its Yiddish and, as Leo Rosten writes, no other word, and no other language, can do it justice . This example is better than 1,000 words . .

THE ESSENCE OF CHUTZPAH . . .





A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each . .



Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter, but never take a pretzel . This went on for more than 3 years . The two of them never spoke . .

One day, as the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel lady spoke to him....

Without blinking an eye she said: "They're 35 cents now . "]]> no_email@example.com (Carter) http://www.bravo256ada.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=331#331 http://www.bravo256ada.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=330#330
New ransomware attack blocks Internet access.


Security researchers have stumbled upon a new piece of ransomware that
blocks an infected computer from accessing the Internet until a fee is paid
via SMS (text message).

[ SEE: Blackmail ransomware returns with 1024-bit encryption key ]
http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1251

According CA researcher Zarestel Ferrer, the ransomware file is bundled
with a program called uFast Download Manager.
Once a machine is infected, a message is posted in Russian
(see image above) demanding a ransom under the guise of activating the
uFast Download Manager application.

Here is a rough English translation below:
Internet access is blocked due to violation of the
license agreement schedules of uFast Download Manager
You must activate your copy

Get a registration code by sending an SMS with the following
code fw0004199 to number 7122

In response you will receive an activation message.

Enter the activation message received from the SMS response ________
CA is offering an activation code generator for this particular ransomware variant.‍

We had only one or two medics on the post, so a couple of men in each the IFC and launching areas were designated medical monitors. We were given first aid kits, which we kept in the vans, a little training, a thermometer, and a pad of sick call permission slips. Aside from writing out sick call permissions for men who needed to go to the VD clinic and did not want to face the chewings out they would get from the regular medic, our main job was driving people to sick call. Or because they wanted to play sick to go to a big PX to buy a cuckoo clock to send home to mama.

We pulled 24-hour shifts on the equipment, got a day of rest, and then a day of general duty. On the rest or general duty day, we were assigned the sick call runs. At first, sick call was in Pirmasens and dental call was in Karlsruhe. We generally made the sick call haul in a deuce-and-a-half, unless we had to take a dependent. Then we took one of those damned, top-heavy, under-powered Opel ambulances. which were a real pain on the drive to Pirmasens. The Germersheim drivers were often made to stop by B Battery in Landau on the way to Pirmasens to pick up people for sick call there.

The biggest pain on the sick call haul was that the medical monitors were in charge of all the medical records. We had to pull the records for each soldier or dependent, get them to the medical staff at the hospital or dental clinic, and then collect them when they were all updated before we could leave. Some of the doctors took their sweet time in filling them out, so we did not get back to base until evening. That really interfered with any PX or gasthaus stops we had planned on the way back. When medical services were consolidated at Heidelberg, the records were kept at the hospital.

The instance I recall at a stop at B Battery was when I met the medical monitor there and picked up the records and then went to the billets to get the men on sick call. The floor of the barracks between the bunks was covered with a yellowish-white powder. When we asked, "What the hell is that?" we were told it was DDT powder. Some guy had crabs so bad that the men put the powder on the floor to keep the critters from crawling from bed to bed. I don't know if that was an official medical measure or if the medical monitor thought it was a good idea. But it sure impressed the rest of the men on sick call. I had the ambulance that day and the men from A battery made the men from B Battery sit on one side by themselves. What was worse was that we had the ambulance that day to take a pregnant woman dependent for her check up. She was almost hysterical when she heard the story about the DDT powder and she told the German civilian doctor, who insisted that the medical officer make all the men on that ambulance be checked for crabs. We put up with a bunch of wise-cracking medic and comments about the crab patrol, some really pissed-off soldiers who went on sick call to go to the PX, and a woman who was not comforted when the occupants of the ambulance were pronounced crab-free. It was a very sullen drive back to Landau and Germersheim, with no cuckoo clocks to show for the effort.
