The stories in this section should be true to the best of your recollection, for stories with some fiction go to" Tall Tiger Tails".  That section will have humorous stories about the unit and its members, with some or a lot of questionable authenticity or start with a phrase like "It happened like this, really!".

All stories remain the personal property of the contributor/author of the story.  You may download the stories for your personal use but they may not be distributed, published or used/sent to any publication or other web site without written permission from the contributing author.
