@RedOct,
Lemme tell ya 'bout a crazy, wild-man, US Army Spec4, who, while acting in the capacity of my Track Commander (M113, Armored Personnel Carrier), at Fort Hood, TX, killed, cooked, ate and wore the hyde of (replete with head and tail) an armadillo over the top of his helmet. While we were maneuvering at night, playing GI Joe, I looked up into the night's sky from below the hatch, up through my TC's opening. Simultaneously, he looked down at me, by coincidence. In the span of a second or two, he looked like SATAN, peering directly into the bowels of Hell. With his CVC helmet on, a gargoyle-like armadillo carcus plastered to it, goggles, and a full-moon in the upper-background, he looked like
Lucifer in Heavy Metal. When the Company Commander saw him wearing the carcus in the chow-line at daybreak, he went ballistic, reemed the two of us without vaz, and found yet another reason to despise me. Cool stuff, back in the
DANG OLD DAY.
