FUN MEMORIES"
I was a Life Support troop at Takhli Jul 65-Jul 66. Don't know how many remember the "board walk" that went from the Green Monster across the "swamp" adjacent to the road from the flight line to the Green Monster. While walking on the boardwalk, we would look for the "new guys"--you could easily tell who they were. We'd point in the sky and say there they are again--of course the "newbys" wouldn't start looking skyward until after we passed. But then, right on que, they'd start looking up to see what we were pointing at. Of course, 9 out of 10 times they'd "walk off the boardwalk" and fall into the snake grass. They looked like "wily coyote" trying to scramble out of that snake grass. Nobody ever got hurt--well--except for their ego! Takhli was under going major construction during my year--it was amazing to see the transformation from "jungle to a 1st class base!" Remember the steps in front of the Green Monster and how close together they were? I know i tripped a few times climbing them! They were built by US troops for Japanese steps!! Bob
