re: #56 Cheechako

Back in the mid ‘60’s the Army sent me to school to become an Intelligence Analyst (96 Bravo). On the very first day, in the very first class, we were told that the United States “collects information” on every country in the world.

This is done for one very simple reason: Today’s friend might be tomorrow’s foe”,

I did the 96B school at Ft Huachuca in 1991. The same thing was true then.

Fun school. Even better was going as a corporal rather that a spec-4. Get to go to the NCO club (much nicer & better food than the EM club) but not have any real responsibilities there because everything was set up for full buck Sgts & up. Didn’t even get CQ duty :D
