Hi, Bill. It's been so long that you probably don't remember me from Ft. Knox. It's good to scan through some of these pages and see some of the ol' hands. A belated happy b'day to you.

By William R. Ambrose (Bill_ambrose) on Thursday, March 22, 2007 - 01:56 pm:  Edit

Thanks for the birthday wishes Mack. I sure as heck do not remember the part about not letting you come to Hood though. When I was Ops there I was constantly short five to ten Agents from what I was supposed to have.

Bill, I'll wish you a happy birthday, too, even though you didn't let me come to Ft Hood once upon a time. I, too wish you many more.

I would like to join in and wish you a Happy Birthday Bill.

Happy Birthday Bill. Sorry I am late, but that seems to always be the way with me. Many more good years I hope.

Happy Birthday,chief. I still have that bottle of "Turkey"(unopened)you gave me at Homestead. May you have many more.

Happy Birthday, Chief. It seems like just last year that I shook your hand and bid you farewell as you stepped outside of the Fort Hood District Office for the last time.
Have a good life, Chief.

Happy Birthday Bill! May you have many, many more.

Well, you kinda have to overlook some of Ray;s postings. After all getting beat up and disfigured by a 450lb bird left him looking old. Matter of fact I have seen better heads on nickel beer. Gotcha

Bill,

Remember the mission we had with SecDef in the Hague back in 73/74 with Russ Sweetland and I? How come everything went right? Never happened before. Must be because of your good tutelage in your AOR! Happy Birthday good friend and may you have at least 23 more!!

Hello Bill - "Golly", I guess you were not expecting all those snide, obscene remarks! Are you still in Florida counting "chads"?
Happy Birthday! (Ray, I can see why you have been getting all those red dots)

By Russ Youngblood (Rvyblood) on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 06:34 pm:  Edit

Bill - are you really that old! That's hard to believe. Last time I saw you, you looked much younger than Ray Kangas did the last time I saw him. Happy Birthday!

By Ray Kangas (Cw5retray) on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 02:23 pm:  Edit

Lee: Thanks for the clarification. Here I thought that it was because Bill had one too many parents.

Happy Birthday Bill -- you are a keeper!

Bill Ambrose did apply for OCS. He was turned down. His IQ of 77 was much to high.

Happy birthday Bill

Ambrose, you are lucky to have made it to 40, after that first night we spent in Vietnam, courtesy of Leigh Hopp. Happy Birthday old man.

By Ray Kangas (Cw5retray) on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 09:33 am:  Edit

Happy Birthday, Bill!! You SHOULD brag about you IQ (and your age). My question is this: If you have a 77 IQ, how come you never went to OCS?

By William R. Ambrose (Bill_ambrose) on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 07:22 am:  Edit

Today I reached two milestones. First one is today is my 77th birthday, and I never thought I would go this far. The second is by golly, it took me a long time, but I have finally reached the same age as my IQ. Ya'll be good, and support the troops.
