thanks to all. i was weapons platoon bco 2bat 75reg. nice to talk to a "forfather" (not an age crack). i ended up in some more than top secret crap and have a lot of night mares, still 10 years latter watching my back constantly. every time a car back fires or something heavy hits the ground i jump. the worst was a monyh or so ago i had a black out and at some point durring the night i cut loose with a couple thousand rounds. there were brass piles in variouse spots around the outside of the house. thank god i live on a 1000 acre cattle ranch. our nearest neighbor is 2 miles away. got a safe all fire arms are locked away, only wife and daughter have combo. realy scared the hell out of me!
