It was a really cool time to be there. I was in C Trp when 2d ACR had its last border tour at Camp Gates -- we had a change of command ceremony and turned it over to some unit from 1st AD. I preferred Camp Gates to Hof.
They brought in a DoD show, with a bunch of cute girls to sing to us one night there at Camp Hof, that year. It was a neat Border Tour -- a lot better than the time Bruce Jenner came to visit with some TV show (can't remember whether that was befo...
Ha ha -- I was stuck down in the Ops Cell with a broken leg, and I remember you guys coming back with that oversized bottle of wine and flowers. Exciting time.
A beautiful family -- I know you and Cara have to be so proud of those kids. Sounds like you guys did a pretty good job raising them.
I presume this is what Empty Nesters do once the kids are all out of the house?
He sure looks like he's grown up to be a big fella -- I can still see that little guy with those cheeks, though.

- Yeah, I think I did my last 6 months or so as his driver (best duty I had!). I haven't heard anything of him, but I fell out of touch with everyone until Fitchett rounded us all up last winter.

- Glad to hear it! Cooper, Pasibe,Mullins and several others are on facebook. we correspond regularly if you're interested.
Look up my facebook page (Elliott Fitchett) send a friends request and then you can go through it and get ahold of the folks you haven't seen in awhile.
Cooper is no A LEO out in Tx, Mullins is a computer programmer back in Mo.
Pasibe still thinks he's agent 007 and when he's not teaching at the Citidel, in SC, he and his wife are taking some very stunning photos and gallivanting with their little girl!
Rosario is now a firefighter in NY, Bostic (from s4) lives in Tampa, Fla and he and Aikens came up to my house here in Ky for the 4th of July. (Aikens works at a college in Indiana now).
Evans (from S3) lives in Montana and he and his wife have a profound love of swords..
LT. Chevuzzi now works for the gub'ment and lives in Polk Co. Florida with his family. he's doing well.
I've got the poop on lots more folks and we're still looking for some but that's the gist of it.
Look me up!

Toujours Pret Eric,
Welcome to the new DragoonBase, the new Base has plenty of newer features, lots of sub-groups,(ie,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc.) and links for 2nd Cav News and History.
Robb Russell has posted some tips for navigating the site (ie,photos,links,ect) in the Forum.
Make sure you stop by and read the latest Tacoma Dave ‘Triva Quiz’, learn some 2nd Cav history and you can even win a kool prize.
If you need any help, you can contact Robb, or any of the 5 admins listed at the top of the page, or just yell out, another member may be able to help you.
And our only wish, ‘Keep it clean’, use our Real names/with Pictures(pix from back in the day, work best for searching for Brothers, but any picture will do).
And that you please tell all your friends about the new DragoonBase.
Thanks again for joining Dragoon Base, and for your service to our great country,
Jesse Kelley
