SGT Jim Arnold SSG Steven Mangus What was that drink that came in the little pitchers, tasted like fruit punch? Soju...I think. I was sent to Korea to run an exercise, 1st time there, met all the old salty dogs, and we went drinking. They put the little pitcher in front of me and I laughed at them when they told me to take it easy with this stuff...After my 2nd or 3rd little pitcher, I didn't remember much...

LT Brad McInnis - yep, thats the embalming fluid. actually that was mixed with other stuff so you got the weakened version of soju

LT Brad McInnis - buddy and I drank a few glasses of jungle juice he and I bet each other on a bottle of soju he don't remember leaving the bar and I don't remember what happened after we caught the cab but had to hunt for buddy. he was face down in snow

I still have a combat bottle here at the house in the wine chiller..love that stuff.

Oh yeah. There were two who followed me home one night. I was tending bar at a frat party, drinking two for every one served. It was December and cold, so I kept all the windows open to help stay awake. I also kept the heater blasting to stay warm. And the radio, that was blasting too. I kept the car in second gear to avoid speeding and the right wheels in the gutter to guide me. When the cop looked at my license he said, "You have a long way to go to get home. Do you think you're going to make it?" "I will if the gutter holds out." Damn, that sense of humor will get me into trouble some day. "Well," he said, "you're doing okay so far. Keep it up." He then got back into the car with his buddy and they followed me home. When I got there, he asked for my license again and checked. "Well, you go the right house." I was proud. "Did you lock your car." I responded in the affirmative but he checked to make sure. I suppose it helped that it was Oh-dark-thirty and there was no other traffic.
