45forme. Since we are walking down memory lane, I will have to start this one with the standard reply, which is "If your 782 gear wasn't a sword and shield, don't talk to me about the Old Corps". I was a Sgt. a year into my second hitch when I got to Quantico. Currently I am South of Arcadia which is about halfway between Fort Scott and Pittsburg and within rifle shot of the Missouri line.I was born and raised in Paola. I have been running away from Kansas City and other urban areas my whole life. My maternal grandfathers North 80 is now the Hillsdale Lake Headquarters.
