Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 47 years ago this very month, I was “enjoying life” at Ft Benning’s Ranger Camp. 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. As a result, the Army decided we'd better not go! When I woke up, I was completely tuckered out!!! Just a humorous rumination from an old foxhole .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 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! :-) Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just started electing them instead of recruiting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 At least the monkeys you were training were learning skills for the civilian marketplace. They went on to be Trunk Monkeys! Note his finger is off the trigger. Training pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
