How true Steve,In 83 I was at the border with M co,Upon returning to Amberg I was promoted toE-5 and and now supported I troop. After 2-3 days I was off as an umpire for REFORGER with my crew. Following REFORGER it was back for another border tour with I troop followed by hooking up with HOW Battery in GRAF for 45 days. I think I slept in my own bunk a total of 4-5 days in a 6 month period. I'm sure there was a side trip to Hohenfels in there somewhere,lol.

Kinda funny,FIST never went for groups,Not quite a Scout,Tanker,or Artilleryman, because we had to work with and learn about all 3 we mostly hung around each other. Also 'cause our Training Sked included whenever the Rgmt, Sqdn,Troop,Bttry,Plt went out we were there with them to include Grafs,Border Duty,Leadership Schools plus the Guard Duty and CQ"s. Did we ever sleep??

NO REST FOR THE WICKED!!

STEVE-O!!
