If it's wrong, I've probably said it...
Another old picture of me (and some friends)
Published on December 8, 2004 By chiprj In Blogging
Been a while since I posted a picture blog. This shot is from when I was a student attending class right here at DLI. It's from July 93. We were just past the halfway point of our class and had already lost four of the ten students we'd started with. One of the guys in this picture 'rolled' into our class after several months of medical hold for a knee injury. Sadly, we lost him about two weeks after this picture was taken and another one of the guys about a month later. Both were for non-academic reasons and both eventually finished the course (one of them left and came back years later to do it again).

As of today, I know that five of the guys have gotten out and I'm pretty sure the sixth has, too. I'm the only one left from 'C¹Ý' (section C).



This may be the oldest picture I have of myself in the Army. I'd been in for less than a year at this point.

Wow, you guys are HOT!

Damn, Chip... I remember those guys. Can't put names to all the faces, but somehow through an alcoholic haze I remember. You don't want to see some of the pics I have from DLI. Ok, I don't want you to see them!

Nah, his name is James Hultz. He got out about 5 years ago. Maybe more.

Wow, you guys are HOT!


HAHA! Thanks! But the key word may be were, not are.

From left to right - Donald Southerland (that's right, I went to class with Donald Southerland!), Travis Bartlett, Brett Bowen, Ed Bundy, Jeff Sabo, and James Hultz.

Ok, I remember 5 out of 7; don't recall Bartlett or Bundy... but overall not too bad, considering.


STOP GAMING AND ANSWER YOUR F***ing IMs!

They were Marines (hence the green t-shirts) and neither were ever stationed in Korea. No surprise you didn't recall them.

Everytime I log off the game, you're ''Away"...

Ok, I'm slow--which one are you?

Also, on a completely random note--I love the brown t-shirt you wear in the army---I don't know why, but at a very early age, I started stealing them from my Dad...They are the perfect just hanging around being lazy shirt--but they are more interesting than a boring old white tee.

I'm the guy on the desk. Always the ham and scene stealer!

I love the brown Army t-shirt, too! Much better than the Marine green and the AF black.

That was sort of what I thought!

Hmm...maybe I should start dating Army men so that I can ensure that my supply of brown shirts never dwindles...

"ham" and "stealer" being the operative words. This was even before you had your nose all fucked up!

Actually, that's not true. My car accident was a little over a year before this picture. In fact, I went home for a deposition a week after this picture. When I came back, Sabo was gone.
