Training Monkeys at Ft Benning: January 1973


Recommended Posts

47 years ago this very month, I was “enjoying life” at Ft Benning’s Ranger Camp. :wacko:

 

In a dream last night, I found myself back at that same camp but this time we were training monkeys to conduct dismounted patrolling through a heavily forested area in preparation for deployment to Vietnam. It was really frustrating.  No matter how hard we tried, those damn monkeys didn’t pay any attention or take anything seriously.  :angry:   As a result, the Army decided we'd better not go!  

 

When I woke up, I was completely tuckered out!!!  :lol:

 

Just a humorous rumination from an old foxhole ....;)

I had a very vivid dream about a week ago.  Wasn’t anything funny about that one.  As real as can be, sights; sounds, smells, feelings........

 

Training monkeys?  Can’t imagine why they scrapped the project!  :-)

They didn't. They just started electing them instead of recruiting them.
