That Prishtina affair nearly started ww3, not to say Nato's involment in Yugoslavia spoiled relations between Rus and Nato for good

Remember the build up, all the traffic suddenly. Mozdok getting very active. Momon troops getting ready. We had a map showing all the troops on it moving.

48-72 hours later russians collumns in the town of Grozny, some of them basically fighting for their life. First heli that crashed. Momon troops not armed/trained for this taking casualties. Sometimes no crypto or code used in those situations. Collumns still in route stopped, waiting for fuel. Logistics in those earlier days where really pooh-pooh imo.
Already quit some reports of soldiers with 1-shot through their foot wounds....

Beers to you!

As for me . . . US Army, Armored Cavalry, 1981-86. Platoon Leader and Troop XO, mostly in Germany in the Fulda Gap area - Bad Kissingen, to be precise. Glad to see several Bundeswehr veterans on the board . . . I enjoyed my time in Germany, the deutsche were very good to me, and much more tolerant of tanks rolling around their neighborhoods than American civilians would have been in similar circumstances.

Hey Redleg!

Looks like we just missed overlapping . . . I left BK in December, 1984. Not only do I remember the Greek place, I practically lived there! (Theoretically, that's possible, since it was a Gasthaus). Not only great food, but really cheap. I ate there 3-4 times week. I don't remember visiting the resort -- too pricy / classy for me, I guess. Did you live on post, or in town?

I dated one of the young ladies who worked at the Casino downtown. She'd get off work at 1:30 AM. We'd go to one or more of the private clubs in town and dance / party 'till 5. Then I'd drop her off, go home, shower, change and be on base to lead P.T. at 0600. O, to be young and resilient again!

We probably were there at the same time at some point! LOL I lived on the economy. Little apartment house on the way about a km from post on the way towards that resort on the hill. Local delivery of my beer to the doorstep as well! :)

Sure miss the real beer. One thing I don't miss is being able to quench the munchies in the wee hours of the mornings....no 7 Elevens! LOL

Infantry then transferred to Military Police working security at the Naval Command Center in the Pentagon 1980-1984. Doing security sweeps at night required a detailed search of the offices for security violations. I can tell you going through the drawers of the Admirals and Generals was let's say an enlightening experience.

Highlight of my career was meeting everyone in top government from the President (Regan) on down if they were affiliated with the military somehow, they attended the 9:15 briefs my detail handled security for at the command center. Hey now, relax, I was only 19-22 years old then, I wasn't so cynical about our countries leaders in those days.
