A soldier with 2 stripes on each arm?

A Sergeant has three stripes in the US military and a Corporal has two (if the stripes are located on the upper arm). If the stripes are located on the lower arm and are better described as slashes (just above the wrist) those are indicators of time in the service. Each slash represents 3 years in the Army and 4 years per slash in the Marine Corps.


Did it rain in Vietnam for four months during the Vietnam war?

Sometimes, when a fisherman catches a 4 foot long fish, after he's told the story about twenty times, the fish has somehow grown into a 8 footer. Probably some returning GI told how the "monsoons" rained for months without end. Well, it may have rained for months...but like most other places in the world, there were breaks in between. A day or two without rain, maybe a half a day with rain...and the other half without it, etc. It probably seemed to rain alot to most GIs for one very good reason; THEY HAD TO SLEEP IN IT! Sleeping in the mud (from the rain) for just 24 hours will seem like you slept in the mud for a whole week. Sleeping in the mud for a week will seem like a month (or a year). So, "did it rain in Vietnam...for four months..."; answer: for the men that had to live in it (and sleep, eat, and conduct hygiene functions, etc.) it probably felt like it did. Quit watching Forrest Gump for factual reason.


What did family members send their soldiers in World War 1?

Food items, especially sweets, cookies and cakes were always welcome. Some soldiers on the line were continually afflicted with digestive troubles and requested frequent letters supplemented with as much toilet paper as could be crammed into the envelope, to augment the small packs which came in the ration boxes. My uncle wrote his mother and asked for skin lotion, which she sent. He also asked for a wrist watch, no doubt a handy item for coordinating actions on the front line. He also asked for handkerchiefs (but not highly visible white ones!). Front line soldiers were living basically like people camping out, in holes in the ground, hardly ever indoors!

What is the quality of Charles Hubert watches?

The Charles Hubert watches are regarded timepieces. Ok, let me clarify something. Charles Hubert is not a luxury brand, but produces some very high quality watches. I have some Charles Hubert pocket watches, and I don't have any negative remarks about those pocket watches. I don't know the quality of the wrist watches because I have no Charles Hubert wrist watch, but if they make high quality pocket watches, I suppose the wrist watches quality is also the same. The watches are made in Paris with Swiss internal parts, like the movement.
