ahh 1986 35 days laying on a beach in Puerto Rico at taxpayer expense,Great month If I worked 80 hours that month I would be surprised.Gotta love the story behind it though.I was the new guy in the battalion maint.shop.My section were sitting in the motorpool getting our morning briefing when the 1st.Sgt.walked in and asked for a volunteer.well since I was the new guy I got volunteered instantly by the whole group.
they all started backpedalling as soon as he asked me for my boot size for new jungle boots for a 30+ day TDY assignment.
I still think about the look on my squad leaders face when Top said "hey you volunteered him and he's going"best accidental vacation of my life thankfully the squadleader pcs'ed soon after my return.
