New member. Army, several tours, multiple MOS's. Ended my time jumping out of planes and eating snakes. Was once ordered NOT to shave. Interesting times.

Looks to me like we probably went to at least one of the same schools. Fort Sam Houston?
Thanks. Always good to sit at the big table.
Yep Sam Houston! I miss San Antonio sometimes
San Antonio, my favorite city! Some of my best pranks were pulled at good old Fort Sam.
Gotta love the "River Walk" and visiting the Alamo is a must.
Ok, I went through basic in San Antonio. We went out for a day pass after graduating. I get Riverwalk. That's neat. But the Alamo was SUCH a disappointing trip! 18 years ago and I STILL feel let down...
Sorry to hear that. I'm a bit of a history buff so it was a bit like visiting a cathedral. I'd also go back in a heartbeat.
There actually was a movie shot partially on the riverwalk with Dabney Coleman in it. Cloak & Dagger.
Par usual, the book beat the movie. Don't get me wrong: the Alamo and being in that space was amazing. But seeing it in the middle of downtown, surrounded by hotels... It just seemed wrong.
Yeah? Never saw the book. You're correct about the hotels too. It was a shock to walk through the Hyatt and find yourself standing in front of the Alamo...which is the way I first saw it. I've been back there several times over the years and even stayed in the aforementioned hotel. I still enjoy going back though.
Welcome @Wrong Place
Thank you. A long time ago my mother noticed that any party I attended found me with all the other vets in a corner in deep discussions within the first 15 minutes of arrival.
Interesting. It works the same way at church. My deployment (yes, just one) was relatively easy, but one of the guys at church had some intense times in combat. Just having a military service and time overseas in common gives a certain bond.
