Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 21, 2016

29 lucky years ago for the anthropomorphized cat

That would make him about 46 or so. Pretty young to be a plugger.

I was lucky. The draft ended just as I turned 13.

These PLUGGERS are only in their late 40s! Maybe 50 at best.

I was 22 when I went through USAF basic training in 1977. If they went in in 1987 just after graduating high school they were probably 18 or 19, they’re still youngsters today. I am not saying that I am old, just that they are still kids.

Fort Dix in 64. I’m a real plugger.

I thought the same thing, these guys are kids. I went to Fort Dix in "65.

Fort Dix, NJ March-May 1980

Lackland AFB, April ‘85- In fact, my report date was on my fiancee’s birthday (I don’t think she ever forgave me for that!).

Ft. Dix, Sept ’55 in the new barracks. Tried a visit 30-odd years ago and was lost as a kid in a supermarket !!

NTC San Diego, CA. Aug-Nov. 1965 USN 65-95

Civil Air Patrol, ‘72-’73.

Ft McClelland – 1966.

Ft. Bliss – 1966

Basic in 1987? These aren’t pluggers, they’re just kids. Basic at Ft. Polk, LA. 1964!

dix 6-2-58

I retired from the Army with 22 years service in 1989. I guess that makes me ancient or maybe prehistoric. My DI was Centurion Marcus Arienius Gratcus.

Is Fort Dix anywhere near Fort Nutz?

Parris Island,“Paradise Island”, Class of 1986 – SEMPER FI!!
