Carry on Nurse was the best IMO

I go with the best choice and leave the fucking rock alone.

I must be good luck for the guy. 
@GBFanForLife posted:Brings back memories. Was stationed in Greece the early 80's. No basketball but softball, volleyball and bowling. Plenty of hungover experiences. Except for bowling, the other team asked us if we were there to drink or bowl. We won the championship 😎
Where were you stationed ? I was at the Axe----Araxos Air Base in 1980 and 1981-home of famous screaming Mimi---Helinikon had a very good team...and as you might guess we would come to Athens the night before and it was always a party, So the next next day they would kill us without mercy....even at full strength they would have beaten us 100 out of 100 times--we played the professional team in Patras----they beat us by 50 and we actually played pretty well that night....
We sent a bowling team to a tournament in Crete in 1980--I was not part of that....excessive drinking was part of it

I was stationed at Hellenikon from Nov of 83 to June of 86. Just got out of Tech school after basic training. The unit I was assigned to was a mess. Wideband communications and I ended up being the only guy there after a couple months and my supervisor was actively working on his discharge via the "fat boy" program. Had a great time, learned all my electronics from a Greek guy who had been working on base for 25 years. It was a great place to live, I went in to the AF late, turned 21 just after basic training.
Did do much athletically in High School but was the pitcher in slow pitch softball in Greece, which was a challenge with the winds. We had a pretty good volleyball team, I mostly set and just kept the ball off the floor so other guys could score. In bowling, I ended up bowling with a team of Officers and I really don't remember how the team got organized but they somehow got me on their team, It was always a good time, stacks of cans on the table and always winning.

That is fantastic. We loved coming to Hellinikon and spent a lot of time in Glyfada Square, especially Bobby's. The best part of the trip was stopping at the 'ditch' at Corinth for souvlaki on a stick.
I turned 21 in Greece--which is funny in a country with no drinking age---of course by 21 I think my greatest drinking days were behind me.
The Axe definitely had it's problems, but it was a great assignment. Very rural and the locals were so good to us, even with the rise of the KKE. There were only about 100 Americans there-just a tiny weapons storage area and equally tiny communications post.
We had one telephone line out of base from a German switch board from the 1940s--legend had it that it was left by the Nazis. That place was a trip back in time and I loved that.
Out of those 100 guys there was one spectacular basketball player. He could have played division 1 ball---the rest of us couldn't add much support...We would just crush the local teams and in fairness we would play them in soccer and they returned the favor.
Our C.O. came to one of our local games where we literally shut out the Kato Achia team---he thought we were the next coming of the Harlem Globetrotters. He scheduled a game with the professional team of Patras that I mentioned before.
The Greeks came out in droves to see us get our butts kicked and they were not disappointed. They slaughtered us and I enjoyed every minute of it.
We did have a bowling alley---two lanes--it was great. We had real Heineken there not the Greek version---50 cents a bottle. But you weren't considered an Axeman if you couldn't enjoy a Fix beer with a Greek Marlboro.
