- WOW!!!! Now there are some names from the past. I remember most and actually have seen a couple of the folks since leaving the Army in 1989. I left the Regiment in December 1986 and went on to assignments with the Central Intelligence Agency at the National Photographic Interpretation Center better known as building 213. Left there and took command of a SIGINT company and later became the oprations officer for the parent battalion (201st MI Bn SIGINIT). Was selected for Major in 1989 but turned it down and left the Army and went to work here in the area supporting clandestine technical collection operations within the Intelligence Community. It was hard to turn down the promotion but it has been a good decision overall; still miss the military and more importantly the people who I had met over the years while serving.
I have kept contact with Colonels Molino and Skidmore and have actually worked on some business initiatives with them both. Have also worked with General Tilleli on a technology development program we have ongoing here now and have also kept in touch with General Wallace (Major Wallace in the 2nd Squadron Days).
It is amazing to think of the quality of individuals who served in the Regiment from the soldier all the way up through the chain of command. Great folks.
Hope you had a great holiday and also have a great New Year!

- Sgt. Zawicki,
I was looking through the site and found your name. Not sure you remember me but I was the Squadron S-2 and later the Regimental Border Officer for the Regiment. I have fond memories of Camp Hof and Bamberg but more importantly those I served with during my time in the 2 ACR. Hard to believe over 20 years have gone by. Have you kept in contact with others from the Squadron? Hope this note finds you well and enjoying the holidays.
regards
CPT. Jeff Boushell

5 yrs is long. I remember Dany Carr couldn't wait to get out and he was there for three yrs. (plus his time at Fort Levanworth for some altercation).

- That is probably him. He was the S3 during Desert Storm. But I think that he was the Quickstrike commander prior to that. He was married to another aviator named Anne. I believe they were still together when I ran into him in Korea back in 2004. They were a good couple. I hope that he is still doing well and is still the fine officer that I remember him to be.

- David, your name sounds so familiar. What platoon were you in? I think we were in the same platoon (3rd) later in my time in Germany. If so, what track did you care for? Also, did you go to Spain with some of us within the 3rd platoon?
