Combat boots, jungle fatigues and Ambush patrols, helicopter rides, long walks in the jungles. Some guy on the radio yelling "Gooooooood Morning Vietnam".

Ba Moui Ba. (aka Tiger Piss)

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

The poster left off the 1401 and the 1410. You could watch the panel on the 1401 and figure out what it was doing, or trying to do. If you watched closely and it was your program running, you could see where it hung up, too. Smile The 1410 was a speed demon by comparison. The university had a 360, but those of us without standing couldn't do anything but watch it.
