Im so sorry to hear that.
But it sounds like he left his mark and is well-remembered.

SafetySam may have a good story to refute all of this, but fear isn't the right word. More like a very healthy respect for not getting on his wrong side. DP and I grew up together in Cleburne and did pretty much everything together. But you definitely didn't want to get his mind thinking about revenge, because he was the absolute master at getting even.
I've told this before here, but it's worth retelling. Our sophomore year we figured we had it made. We made it through a tough freshman year and we had arrived. But a few idiots in the class of '78 had different ideas and rode our asses relentlessly and for no real reason other than they could get away with it. We'd had enough, so as the de facto crazy bastard enforcers DP and I decided to do something about it. The two worst juniors were fortunately roommates, and as juniors could not lock their doors. We planned to blow up a peanut butter bomb in their room: a half-cup or so of PB with several firecrackers shoved into the middle. When detonated the firecrackers would blow a fine mist of PB over the entire room. Genius plan, really, and not something you'd do to an upperclassman unless you were insane. So the clock is ticking when DP flies into SafetySam's and my hole with a maniacal grin and says "Not a PB bomb! A shite bomb!" He takes a dump on a piece of cardboard and it is absolutely rank. Their clothes, their books, their bedding, their desks, and most importantly their bodies were all coated in DP's smelly shite.
And they NEVER fricked with us again.

My point still stands: Finest did fear him.

Its perfectly natural to be afraid of a shite bomb.

Holy shite. They would have you locked up in Guantanamo for 30 years if you tried something like that now.

That's possible. The word "psycho" was tossed around by the juniors for a few weeks. And we were thinking "Yer damn right we are. Still want to screw with us?" The bomb had the desired effect.
Our class was strangely filled with guys whose brains were wired... differently. DP and I actually couldn't hold a candle to another guy in the picture, who now is the prototype rich old Ag and owner of an engineering company on the Texas coast. He was twisted in a different way - he'd have never blown up a turd, but he had a knack with explosives and other potentially dangerous devices. Crazy bastard rigged up a slingshot made from lots of medical tubing and shot water balloons at BQ's when we were in dorm 12 out his window. The perfect crime. He started with ball bearings instead of water balloons but wisely figured out he might actually kill somebody.
Damn, I miss A&M

My dad told me a few stories about filling 55 gal trashcans full of water, bab-o, and a collection of solids and other liquids, chucking it in someone's room and putting a 'frickstick' on the door.
Our guidon bearer my year had a belt buckle with his name on it (along with a handful of other buckles with about 40 people's names on them). I'm fairly sure that buckle along with all the other L-1 pass downs is in somebody's house now as they basically disbanded the outfit and remade it with a bunch of guys from the wings.
Yeah I had thought he was '80 and took a victory lap, upon re-questioning him you're correct, '81 (and a victory lap,).
He did tell me about a story involving the cav, a corps staff senior who wouldn't mind his own business, and a horse's head. Apparently they had the FBI called out.

We borrowed a goat from west campus and then another guy took out the back to back medicine cabinetso that there was a hole between two rooms. Insert the goat for a couple of hours, replace medicine cabinets and wait.
Goat poo everywhere, random items eaten or covered in goat saliva.
We were good at frick wars.
I also picked up a road kill skunk and used bailing wire to wire it to a catalytic converter. I had depth to my motivation

This thread is amazing with the old army stories

Yeah I told my dad about the posts in this tread, he may make a username and request access soon.
Finestfirst: my dad's first words upon seeing this thread: "oh my god, that's Hideous H".
His description of DP was similar to yours: "if he had been my pisshead, I'd have quit the first day".

Think it'd be wise to not push EKG for any more info than she volunteers (rule#1 requests notwithstanding, of course. These be the interwebz, after all, and tradition must be followed )

SafetySam and I have discussed it, and think Grodebag81 would be awesome.

Good thread. Great stories.

If he balks at going with Grodebag81, then we'll accept: "Human-Coldcut-Sammich-81".
