During a range at ITS (Infantry Training School), Camp San Onofre, a herd of buffalo wandered into the impact area and shut dow our live fire. After about 30 minutes, Range Control sent a M60 Patton over to shoo the herd away. There was a staredown between the tank and the dominate male. The tank backed down. About another half hour passed and the herd moseyed off and we resumed firing. Damnest thing I ever saw until the Brahma Bull affair during Operation Just Cause.
Boot Camp, NTC San Diego. I was marching my squad from point A to point B. Instead of normal march orders I was calling out things like Right Full Rudder March. We were having a great time until a Chief on a bicycle stopped us, reamed me out and gave me an extra mid-watch.
