LOMAO...this actually happened....
Back during our military years;
We had just arrived back to Ft Bragg, NC the night before.

At breakfast the next morning we were doing our normal routine, when we over heard a couple of other nearby soldiers talking about what they had heard...at first we thought it was just another "rumor has it" BS. From time to time we'd catch bits and pieces of their conversations and soon realized they were talking about us.

Well..."X" being the fellow he is....looked over at them and asked where [they] heard that and who are these guys you're talking about...wanting to hear more "X" kept asking these soldiers questions and this one soldier at the other table just kept adding BS to the BS tales he was telling.

Well as these other soldiers were leaving, a soldier who actually knew us called out by name 2 of our group's names and were need "upstairs", referring wanted up at headquarters.

The astonished, embarrassed, shocked, however you want to describe the gastly look on the tall tale telling soldier's face was priceless, as he just realized we were the soldiers he was talking about.

We LOFAO all day....We were all 6 feet 6 inches tall, 200 pounds, bulletproof superheroes and we didn't even know it. LOL

The truth is:
Only 2 of our team are 6 feet 2 inches tall, one is 5 feet 7 inches tall, the rest of us are, +/- an inch, 5 feet 10 inches tall. We weren't bulletproof, we just kept agile and by the grace of GOD, Guardian Angels, prayers and hopes, that bullets wouldn't hit us. Only three members came close to being at or just shy of 200 pounds. The rest of us weighted between 150 to ~175 pounds. And even though his tall tales were somewhat wildly exaggerated, there was some truth in some of them.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
