Hell Glenn...You and me may have been on that GSR rear security detail, I do remember standing a Regimental inspection while on GSR rear security....It was snowing like hell, the wind was crankin' and your face would peel right off your skull it w...
Sean....Yup, I vividly remember freezin' my arse completely off while pullin' GSR security. One particular night always stands out...It was so friggin' cold! It didn't matter what you did to stay warm, it didn't work!
Speaking of Ft. Knox and a fellow Kentuckian...Has anyone heard anything from or seen Sgt. Bean from 1st Platoon?
Glad to hear Oscar retired out. He was a pretty good Scout.
James,
My cousin has an Enfield Mk.1, and I have put a lot of rounds thru that weapon. That .303 round is a hard hitter too and the weapon is pretty damn accurate too. The thing I remember the most about that Enfield was the brass butt-plate. If y...

- 19Delta.
E-1 to E-3
1SG Hickey's delta element E-40. Keeping up with Top was not an easy task. We were constantly on the run when in the field, and in Bamberg it wasn't much different. Anytime anyone needed a jeep and driver, I got the mission. Scouts Out, Rolling Thunder, Spring Rain, Horse Arty Shoots, Subaltern Shoots, Capstone Recon, Pay Duty in the field, deliver chow when in the field, Hawk Site, transport of prisoner to Mannheim, Troop and Squadron Duty Driver, you name it, I drove a jeep to and from it. But at the same time, I learned to AG for mortar crews, drop rounds with the mortar crews, prep rounds, hump rounds with tankers, load, gun and drive the M60A3. It was all Good!
E-3
M-901 ITV Track Commander E-33.
E-4
3rd Platoon (Blue)Platoon Leader LT. Schienke's delta element and sole crewmember E-36.
- What was your rank/title?
- E-1/E-4
- What years Were You Assigned to the 2nd Cavalry?
- 1982-1984
- Tell us a little about your cav days and some of your buddies!
- My time assigned to the Regiment were undoubtedly the best days of my life as a professional soldier. Everyday was a "real world" mission, especially on the Trace. Reaction Force was nothing but a pure rush! Patrols along the Grenze were something I will never forget for the rest of my life.
I am proud and honored to be able to say I served with the toughest, most professional, most dedicated SOB's in the entire ETO: The 2d Armored Cavalry Regiment.
I will never forget the troopers I served with, nor the tight friendships we forged, or the things we did, both in the field, and of course in Bamberg and all the other places we paused briefly to drink a bier....or ten. ;o)
Toujours Pret!

I do think we had made, We wore what we wanted to, we smoked we drank we raised hell.
It was a great time but we risked our ass in a track that was a death trap.

Great to hear from you. Of course I remember you bouncing me around in the back of our APC. All kidding aside, I appreciate the way you took care of me as a wet behind the ears LT...those were some great days...we did have a damn good platoon of cav troopers. I'm proud to have served with you in Germany. Thanks for your service to our country. Hope this finds you and all those important to you doing outstanding!
Best regards,
Tad Schinke
