                <![CDATA[Heath writes, &quot;Thats one way of getting you thrills, and ensure the mortar stays bedded in.&quot; The big question is this, where? There was an old man, 100+ years old, but with a mind as sharp as a new razor blade. there were two younger guys playfully bickering. Now he was 100+ years, I was 50+ years and called the 'old timer', even by the man 100+ years old. The Armorer always says, &quot;Some of us have more mileage than others.&quot; One of the younger guys mentioned, he was just having a wild hair up his tail. Now the 100+ year old guy says to me, &quot;Old Timer, &nbsp;I'm confused, I don't know whether he bragging or complaining. Now, you were in the Military, how long has it been since you could feel that same wild hair?&quot; I looked him straight in the eye and said, &quot;Never!&quot;<br />
<br />
Armorer, you're a *much wiser man than I'll ever be*, with more mileage, &nbsp;how would you have answered that Old Man?<br />]]>

My favorite Platoon Sergeant use to say that one of the purposes of our mortar platoon was to get our rifle platoons to keep up to speed on their map reading. &nbsp;]]>
