LOL Well, that was 33 yrs ago so I don't think they were planting food plots .

I didn't get to do much stuff other than training or "alert standby"for the 6 yrsI was in. If we weren't training, we were on standby and if we weren't on standby we were getting ready for training and leave was spent reaquainting myself with the family. I was in smallarmy units probably similar to your recon (Rangers in WA and another small unit like that in IT) so we didn't get much free time.
