Definitely not something that today's schools are passing out. I remember some of the classes you speak of while thinking I was going to be a cop in the army. (The recruiter lied, but that's another story.) Some of the guys that rode with the 1/160th had those skills. Had I really understood what the 18's were about, I would have been interested. All I knew of was the Rambo end of the story. Now fat and old, I just apply those skills in business.

Did you enjoy the B4 identifier school? I thought is was harder than airborne and air assault combined.
