A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said.
The outbreak at the base in San Antonio raced through an Air Force Basic Military Training wing, where new recruits sleep on bunk beds in open bays and share meals at large communal tables
1959: As a new recruit, the army gives me what I later learn is a triple strength flu vaccine. Six weeks later, just the right interval for a booster, I come down with a different strain of flu. I haven't had flu since.
Looks like I can't post from my computer again. Oh well, here's a joke for fun. A woman walks into a pharmacy and asks for some arsenic.. The pharmacist says " What for?" She says, "I want to kill my husband. " He says, "Sorry, I can't do that. " She reaches into her bag and pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the pharmacists wife and hands it to him. He looks at it silently for several minutes. Then he looks up and says, " You didn't tell me you had a prescription..." Susan
