Pongo is (part of) the scientific name for chimpanzees i think. something
like that.
when i was in the army, various people said various things. they were all
stupid.
the military is bad for you. get out now while you still can.

Mark---DLI (Monterey) grad? I was in the R-12 course #103, graduated
December '63. The army in its wisdom decided that my Russsian language
skills were needed in Japan and then Vietnam. Did some interesting things
but never used the language training.

I, too was at the Defense Love Institute. Although I was there in '95 for
Thai. Sadly, I didn't make it through the school. But I did manage to
stick around for 4 months! Remember the place like it was yesterday. Being
a ''Zoomie" (In the rear with the beer) it was pretty cool being around all
the different folks from other branches. It took a while to figure out Navy
rank/uniform.
I'm an F-16 Avionics guy (By trade, but not practice. "Conehead" or "GAC"
to you aircraft mechanics out there). Strange stuff, it is! But your advice
has already been on my mind, I get out in less than 9 months, not counting
terminal leave! Another case of the ship leaving the sinking rat!
All the best,
Chris Astier

'63?? i was 2 then. hahaha. i graduated basic russian in '84, then had
another 7 month follow-on course (with only 2 classmates) in even more
russian before going to tech school and then on to germany.
judging by this group, i have plenty of active motorcycling ahead of me.

You might try saving your terminal leave and selling it back, the extra
cash is always good to have....Plus there is the unemployment insurance you
can collect.

To each his own I gues.......The Corps was the best thing I ever
did....straighted out this young punk...and showed me I was NOT the "billy
bad-ass" I thought I was!! LOL I still pride myself on holding true to
"Corps Values" and there sure is NOTHING wrong with pride,
dedication,motivation and leadership they taught me. I would not be where I
am today had it not been for the good ol' USMC!! OOH-RAA!!!
