We took the news graciously and headed into town where we tried to equal their feat at several local establishments  |
at one of my duty stations, our batallion headquarters was a bit far; we were in Nuerenburg, the BN was in Augsburg. we had what is essentially the "company party" day (organizaton day for those that know). we as a unit had to take a bus there. on the way our First Sargeant was telling us how he wanted us to to break records in the beer consumption category. I still have pictures of Top singing with us and drinking out of a boot (not the glass one) on the way back home
