To all members,
Dave Gettman politly informed me of the qualifications requried to be an honorary member. I do not met those requirments.
In my ignorance I clicked to join this group.
I am requesting that my name be removed from that group.
Again,...

8-minute video of Norwegian D+C team performing on ice. First 2 minutes are kind of slow but the rest is pretty good.

doh, if those guys are airborne, I didn't do that. I did fly like that on the way to Honduras, just no chutes or in flight movies. :-P
They only tried twenty biers, and picked the top eight from that??!!!
That's like shooting twenty terrorists and saying you have wiped out the heads of Al-Qaeda!!
Thanks for the article Jason, but I wouldn't drink a French beer if I was dying in...

MEN WHO HAVE BEEN TO WAR
MEN WHO HAVE BEEN TO WAR
I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell
stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed together, who were stripped of their humanity. I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know no other men.
I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something
more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the
memory of me. It was part of the bargain we all made, the reason we were so willing to die for one another. As long as I have memory, I will think of them all, every day. I am sure that when I leave this world, my last thought will be of my family and my comrades... Such good men."

- Yes. I was going to do a write-up eventually, but I've got so many projects going I just haven't had the time. He definitely belongs in Fiddler's Green. He was one of us.

- Hello Jason,
thanks so much for the response; yes I did have the pleasure of serving with 1SG Virrill. He was a good soldier and 1SG. Yes I did serve with him in the Gulf and was a part of the 73'rd easting. Havent talked about that stuff in years. Seeing this site brings back memories.
Thanks David

- Jason,
You're literally 6-8 blocks away, I'm on the other side of Lexington from you south near the shopping center. No reason to wait until May for a beer, shoot me an email at dccaughey@aol.com and we'll get something set up.

- Jason,
I'm kind of in between as far as status goes. I was retired for almost a year and a half, then took a two year retiree recall to active duty to teach ROTC in Golden. So other than a long commute, I'll be around for a while. The house and the schools for the young'un are in Briargate, so I won't be moving anywhere anytime soon.
Incidentally, I think you said you know Rick Cormier? he came out on the CSM list last week.
Blog-wise, I write about those grey felas from time to time, but they plenty of press of their own vice the regulars.

- Cormier was one of my PSGs. He's still at Polk as the 4/10 Ops SGM. That is the same Melton, he just finally left the regt after 9 years after his second command and is currently the 71st's ADC. What's the count for CO Dragooons?
