The news just broke that Donna Summer has passed<\/a> after her battle with cancer. I only mention it because it brings back a fond memory of the mid-70s during my time in the Army and her song “I love to love you, baby” was like every other song we heard during the weekend we spent at Fort McClellen, AL. At the time, Fort Mac was the home to WAC basic training – thousands of female basic trainees – and the MP school. <\/p>\n

We’d been using their ranges and training areas for the week and then they gave us the weekend off, amongst all of those WACs and with the MPs thrown in the mix it looked like a long Keystone Cops movie. On laundry detail, one of my buddies overheard a female drill sergeant yell at her trainees “There’s a hundred miles of Ranger dick on this post and none of you are going to get an inch if you can’t get in step.” I miss the old days. <\/p>\n

I got thrown out of one of the barracks by an ugly little female drill sergeant. I pointed out the sign in front of the barracks that said something about men being allowed if they were escorted and she said “That sign didn’t mean YOU!” I took it very personally.<\/p>\n

We had guys trying to hide from the MPs in the bottom of a pool – like they didn’t need air. There were lights and sirens everywhere on that post Saturday. But it wasn’t just the privates, the EM Club was packed full of our NCOs with their master wings, Vietnam CIBs, Pathfinder badges, Ranger tabs and no rank on their collars.<\/p>\n

That’s what I think of whenever I hear Donna Summer. So, thanks for the memories, Donna. <\/p>\n
