Lots of people seem to be enjoying the story. I plan to turn on voting in a couple more chapters. I hope the votes are good. Vanity, thy name is not woman, it is author.

In any case, Chapter 7 is where things start getting bloody. I'm sure it's a dreadful next comment, but…Enjoy!

You learn something every day! One of my readers, sacwriter_1, was a post-Vietnam-Era MP and the MOS for MPs back then was 95B. Nowadays it is 31B. When did it change? It turns out to be in the same time frame as the 'Twenty Years Ago' that Marty and Jake enlisted. That would be 2000, and the change occurred in in 2003, before Marty would have left the Army. I had to do a quick edit and reloaded the chapter. Fascinating!

Anyway, Chapter 6 is up now, or will be shortly. Enjoy!

A few readers pointed out that the language school is not in Monterrey, which is a city in Mexico, but in Monterey, which is in California. Ooops. Fixed. Anyway, enjoy!

First things first - Many thanks for the assistance in my problems with an old game. I had over 100 responses. Mind-boggling! I hope to sort it out soon. I apologize for not responding to each of you individually, which is my normal routine, but at 100+ I would never finish!

Chapter 4 will fill in some of the blanks about how our hero (?) learned his trade.

OK! Many, many thanks! I received about 80 responses to my question. I don't need any more answers!

Here's the status - For all you who wrote about running various Windows compatibility options, none of that worked. Trust me, I tried that before, but I gave it a second honest look on reading the responses. It just didn't work. It is looking like I am going to try a VMWare or DOSBox approach. I have my kids, both geek types, checking for Windows 95/98 CDs. I'll need to create the box and then do an install inside the box. Back to being a geek.
