I'm so glad I jumped down this rabbit hole. Now I'm going to look for old Shock Armstrong bits, and then maybe some Ernie Lee

We laugh about it now, but not back then. This video has definitely been edited, leaving out the real crap we endured. But, the results made ‘Troops’ out of us. “All the way, and then some”. O yeah, by the way, we were issued new boots after week five. They were following apart. And, our CO was Special Forces!

Ft. Ord, 7-28-69, C-4-2 , “The Hill”, (Hit…Shift…Rotate, Move…Shoot…Communicate)

Did Basic at Leonard Wood in 72, never went back during my 27 years. As a civilian contractor I got to go back and it was a shocker. During basic we seemed to march every where in the dark and we marched forever. In the daylight in a rental car I was surprised how close everything was. My barracks were still being used but most of the other buildings were gone. I still wonder what happened to the guy that went AWOL.

Wonder how many of those kids did not come back. I joined the Army in 1967, was medically retired in 1972 after a bad experience skydiving. Thank God the Army still treated women like women while I was in the Army.

We loved this, and all of Freberg's recordings. I understand that Lawrence Welk got legally feisty. I am reminded of Jay Ward's "Rocky and Bullwinkle" show, with the Kerward Derby, a spoof on Durward Kerby, the rather bland straight man to Gary Moore. Jay Ward Productions got a Cease and Desist order from Kerby's attorney, threatening a lawsuit. Ward challenged them to sue, promising to pay ALL legal expenses for both parties. to me sure, Durward Kerby lives on, only from Jay Ward's spoof.

Did basic Ft Ord we never were measured for uniform they looked at you and handed you your new clothes, then you packed up your civilian clothes to ship home then 5 weeks later they have you contact home to ship your clothes back.

The draft is needed again. Today's society needs the discipline & awakening ! ...

Drafted ‘71, a year out of college and sent to Basic at Polk. Even today as I watch this video it brings back such memories. I hated every second of it until a long letter from my girl friend (now my wife) inspired me to take matters into my own hands. It was what I needed and suddenly I discovered ways to “fight back” on my terms. It’s a skill I’ve used every day of my life. Although a rough start I actually came away with skills, tactics, and a tenacity I’ve used all my life. Looking back, the Army taught me, and I never realized it. As I’ve grown old and reevaluate my life I owe everything I learned during my time to this very trying time in my life. May God Bless all those men and women that have served and serve today keep them safe. I pray they will one day look back with pride and honor to their service.

I just watched her performance on the Lawrence Welch show she gave me chills I started crying she touched my heart RIP MS.QUEEN DORSEY and thank you God bless us all 😢🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕💕💕

I AM 77 NOW, ALWAYS BE A FAN OF THIS GUY LOMBARDO ...THANKS

I used to make Willa Dorsey Cassette Tapes for her to sell in Oregon. Back in the 90’s, one rainy night I jumped on a bus to go see Willa sing in person, at a local church. Unforgetable voice! 🙏❤️

I wouldn't do it again but im glad i did it back then,1974. B-1-3.

I enlisted in July 1966 as a Private E-1. Twenty-six years later I retired in July 1992 as a lieutenant colonel. It was an interesting life and I wouldn't change a thing.

Interesting to think that just 5 years after this was recorded, WPKM would change its format to Top 40/Hit Radio and its call letters to WRBQ (Q105). One of the earliest FM radio stations in the country to enter this format and remain successful in it for years.

My grandpa said they would tie your legs and hands and throw you in water to learn to swim if your limbs were blown off

the sound quality is bad

My uncle did his basic training here, after Vietnam he came home worked in construction, eventually got lost in the bottle and went missing, my mother cries for him to this day, they where from Mexico, came here in the 50s she use to take care of him while my grandparents would work, she changed his diapers fed him his bottle, she said he was like her son. My mother named me after him, as she said I was a spitting image of him, I’m 31 married and two girls, I’m in the process of joining the army, I passed my asvab passed MEPS, now waiting on a waiver then I’ll hopefully be headed to ft Jackson to start my basic, either June or July. My mom is taking it a little rough, but I’m not going to be an infantryman, I’ll be working on tanks, Abrams. Wife and daughters are very supportive. God willing all goes through and I’m able to finalize my contract.

I was one of Col Raye's pallbearer at her Fort Bragg Funeral Services

Just recently learned that Grandpa Jones was born in Henderson KY across from Evansville IN.

I went there with my family in the late 50's and early 60's as a young child. My fondest memories was going to the Super-Test amusement park and the Sea breeze restaurant. I especially enjoyed riding the carousel, the ice cream, and corn dogs. If I remember correctly, when you filled up at the gas station, your purchase was free if the pump stopped on an even dollar amount.

Stoney Stonedwell??😂

Chills

“ Help ah, Help ah, turn off the bubbles….Help ah…” Stan was beyond genius in this and many other satires. A friend had this record in my college dorm in the 1970s and it was right up there with Firesign Theater as our go to comedy fav .

The way it’s done! End of discussion!

when we were young in 63 going to daytona used to listen to the big ape first heard the beatles on that station great memories

The Jones family are great singers god bless them all

You can hear the Lemmon Sisters sing “Thank you for all the cards and letters from all you folks out there in television land” around the halfway point of SVENGOOLIE. I love it!

I was drafted in 1968 graduated from Ford or that March does anyone have or know where I can get an annual of my graduating class?

I remember when I was growing up it was hee haw and the old show emergency that was the better time to be growing up

The strongman was Dan Lurie who was part of a Canarsie New York family that was in the moving van business (ABE LURIE MOVING) and did almost every move in that little part of Brooklyn for many years.

I knew Patsy Prescott back in the 1980's..she took us to church in Phoenix, Az...so great to hear her voice again..🤗🌷❤🌹

Please let the music play in its entirety if you can. I used to listen to this station in the 70’s when I was a kid, but I never knew it was that old.

Bud Connell went on to put legendary WFUN on in Miami in 1961 for Rounsaville. Did Rounsaville own WNOE at the time of this air check?

Weird. I have no memory of ever watching this guy. Dick Clark kicked him out.

In actuality, the span is about 2½ miles long.

❤ Daddy had 80 foot tower in back yard so we could get reception in Stockton Georgia. Good morning of farm life and good music

Fine work on the video. I can only imagine how many excruciating hours of watching the Velk Show, then editing it, this took.

The end of 67 or beginning of 68 she came to our compound. I was camp security officer, at Special Forces B-42, so I couldn't just hang out. She spent the night at our camp, Playing cards, having a few(?) drinks, and just being with us. She was one of us, no question.

Food Fair Food Stores, a part of our past.

Was this the same Paul Dixon that was on TV in Chicago with a talk show?

Have they always been 5kw at night? I recall once in the late 70s during a hurricane they were on daytime power at night. It was blasting into Western NC.

When I Go, I’m Taking New Year’s Eve With Me. Boy, was Guy right about that!!!

Please bring back the Guy Lombardo music to brighten up the world again!

Love this Dance Music.

It was great to see Rick Henley, Rich Szabo, Kenny Rupp & Larry Puentes in that great band! I didn't spot other local musicians but I'll bet there were others!

💯🎁🌟

When did they start using hearing protection in training?
