Army, '67 to '70...we signed out at the admin building on main post at Ft Benning. 6 of us lined up at a table, warrant officer processing our separation documents....Guy at the head of the line was 1st Air Cav...gets his paperwork, turns to leave and says to us "Holy Shit,, we're still breathin'.....come to think about it.. that post looked a lot better in a rear view mirror...
I'm retired USN and this was a good learning experience, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I earned a combat infantryman badge in Vietnam 68/69 while serving with the us army 25th infantry division very proud of my award..
You should be! It is the most important Infantry award in the world!
@@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 thank you I appreciate that..
I am a retired US Army MSG and spent many years with with the US Army Recruiting Cmd. I may have missed it but I did not see the Recruiter Badge both basic and Gold badge.
you are right, I missed those. will update, thanks for the heads up.
I retired out of the Army too and spent some time in the recruiting. Totally worthless lol. Skip the badges lol.
I started basic training in Feb 90. In Mar 90, we were learning ranks. The drill sergeant that I had doing rank identification, had CQ the night before. The training aid he had for ranks was a box of black painted black, with ranks in silver and gold. He held one up, and I said it looks like a different on we had gone over. He pulled it out and looked at, threw it on the ground and said, it's SPC 5, we don't use it anymore.
a cool memory!
I was given the drill sgt badge because I was "perment party" at a traing base. Sttrange buy my MOS is gone, my unit which was 45h Army is gone and my rannd as Specialist 5 is gone. I also wore tahe redd or maroon cord with back .Stationed at Fork Polk, which is also gone!
yeah, my old 4th Armored Division is gone too. I guess you can replace your Sp5 insignia with buck Sgt. stripes. Congratulations Sgt.!
The OCS insignia during the 1960s was gold/polished brass-colored. The ones shown appear black. I was in Amor OCS in 1967 and still have my insignia.
have gold ones in book.
I'd like to see you do a piece about the war eagles worn by Colonels and Captains during wartime...
I have a pair of war Eagle, so I may be able to do that.
@@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 It's a very cool thing. I have a good friend who was the Captain of a Coast Guard vessel, and O-6 to boot, and he wore war eagles at sea. (HIs vessel had some pretty heavyweight functions I won't share, but that pretty much tells you about them without telling you about them. He'll probably wind up a Rear Admiral soon enough, but the war eagles are a very slick flexing of the office. It would be awesome to tell that story.)
One day I want a study like yours, Colonel.
Colonel: can't find anything to fault with your video; excellent presentation. I once saw a SP8, and several SP7's before conversion. One tidbit of info I was hoping you would impart is how many awards of the CIB were made to 3Star holders and hard to believe someone could have been awarded 4Star CIB. Any info would be appreciated. I did meet several 2Star holders and their stories were truly amazing. I subscribed, Thank You.
My dad was a Specialist 7
Vgood❤🎉
cool memories.
Got my crossed rifles in 81, and my EIB in 85.
My son tells me the EIB is hard to earn. He was an Infantry officer.
You have to get the opportunity to test for it, and there’s all the different skills that you have to memorize all the steps to perform. We were required to qualify expert on marksmanship and pass the PT test. The worst part for me was the 12-mile march in 3 hours.

Thank You to all Veterans I am a non Veteran but why do they make all this so complicated & expect a new recruit to pickup on all this and better get it right by the end of a 10 or 12 week boot camp what would someone like myself that does have learning disabilities and got held back twice do in this demanding military culture
@ne1124 yes I understand but how do they deal with people who have learning disabilities & physical ailments
8:01 *US Army* Commissioned Rank to those untrain eyes (1st November 1996 letter is 1991? Really? LOL)
