Yep, I was a medic for the A squadron of the 41st Tank Batalion. It was cool
to hear about the international tank shooting matches where American pro's
with shaved heads and mean looks took on the long haired, ear-ringed, drafted
Dutchies... and lost (that contest at least, I was there in '93) :-). I was
one of the last guys that was still drafted, it's pro work now. I had a great
time, had my own YPR (sort of M3). Really cool to race thru the sand with
those Leopard II's, amazing technology. Reminds me to scan my pics I have
of that time, might bring up more memories for you :-).

Yesterday a nice cold Warsteiner in Dusseldorf after our flight, tonight no
Grolsch but Belgian Palm. Also very nice :-). Cheers!
