Congrats @oplholik time for a shopping spree!

Thanks Vapin, and RTS. Yep it's time to add to my supply of flavors, and some other odds and ends.

The correct answer was Jamie Farr because he was in the Army AND was stationed in Korea during the Korean War.

Actually I don't think he was. He was in Korea, but this says he joined the Army in 1957. The korean war was over in 53.

The reality of military service isn't too far fetch for Christopher and Farr. Both Jamie Farr and William Christopher served in the Army. Farr joined the US Army in 1957 and was there for two years and served in Japan and Korea. Christopher is a Korean War vet who spent his tour entertaining the occupation troops in Germany.

I've always seen several other resources that say about the same, so would be interested in what you found saying otherwise.

Famous Veterans: Alan Alda | Military.com Military.com in the 4th paragraph says Alan Alda served 6 months in Korea, during the war.

congrats Opl!!!!

No biggie hun!......just wanted to put that out there. I don't care about for the contest aspect. Just love my MASH. It is hands down my all time favorite show. I have all 11 seasons and the movie on dvd and have watched it all through many times. Even before that when reruns were just on tv, my son always thought it was kewl that I knew which episode it was before the credits even finished rolling lol

Good luck picking out your stuff, OP. It took me 2 weeks lol I kept adding to my cart and then changing it. When I finally hit the order button, it was like Christmas in October!!!

I am always amazed with the careful packing job that RTS does. Their packages are seriously the most well packed vape mail that I have ever received. Each item was like opening a hand wrapped gift

Much thanks again to my very favorite DIY vendor.

 

[oplholik]

Yea, they do have good packing, although I hate dealing with all the popcorn, or whatever it's called, but not gonna have to worry about anything breaking that's for sure.
