I agree Jack; either we're getting old or this is history from a different perspective.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
LtCol Robert Quinter I think it's the latter, although there's no denying that older thing.

When Nixon took office he ordered the withdrawal of US troops. But he only ordered the withdrawal of 500 troops. I was part of Nixon's 500, as they were called. I was scheduled to PCS on 7 September. I shipped on 25 August. Some deal, huh?
Most of those 500, like me, were close to their scheduled rotation date.
