Hey Patrick, you might know this guy too.
Ah, Mr. Walker. What are we going to do with you? I see you have been busy again.
I have one suggestion. If you can mail me the videos, I can upload them to my photobucket account and then link to them from there. The links will be good as long a...
Guys, I have a bunch of videos of the Rock similar to the short clips I shot while visiting Camp Gates about a year ago. I want to upload them but they are simply too large. Do any of you know a way to adjust the files so I can decrease their size...
Vearl, I was in the UP's for about my last 3 month's on the Rock. I was the B Troop relief cdr. A, B, C, troop and D company each had a relief consisting of a sgt and 4 guards. We manned the main gate and for a while gaurded the ammo dump as well....

- Tell us a little about your cav days and some of your buddies!
- My first assignment when I got to Amberg was on loan to L Troop until gunnery was over. I was trained as a loader and spent nearly 60 days in country trying to figure out how a medic became a Tanker.
I remember being on Range 790 on Graf and meeting the Medic Platoon Sergeant asking him why I never was assigned and it turned out I was hidden until gunnery was over. I had the best time of my life and got to know a lot of the platoon including Cpl's Big and Lil Willy and came back to them for Reforger 77.
I spent most of my tour at Camps Rotz and Camp May as a border medic and on patrol .I did do time at the rear in between the camps.I had a great time even though it seemed like I stayed on alert and always ready to roll off into hell.
The Cav was a tough learning assignment back then, every unit after that was a lot easier and I have the Cav experience to thank for getting ready to be a NCO. I never knew how much I loved it until it was all over. Maybe someday I can meet back up with all of you at Fiddler's Green.
Toujours Pret!!
- Tell us a little about you now.
- I made SFC in the Chemical Corps and ended up getting caught up in the early out RIFs of the early 90's.
I did time with 1st Armored Division, taught SERE and NBC to pilots at Ft Rucker, taught various topics on NBC at Chemical School at Ft McClellan and was the first Small Group Leader at the Chemical Corps NCO Academy for ANCOC. I finished my time at the Chem School as the deputy Curator and Historian at The Chemical Corps Museum and wrote alot the Chemical Corps History for the 1st Gulf war.
Today I am a nuisance wildlife specialist and basically handle problem wildlife conflicts for a living near Gainesville, Florida in a tiny town of 409 called Fort White, in Columbia County. I live out in the woods and it gets cold here and there are no beaches for 100 miles or more.

Robert Burns Wadley said… - Mr. Russell: I continue to try this, but when I go to “Settings” I see my picture with a drop-down list box captioned as “Browse.” When I browse and select the photograph I want, it is named at the bottom. Then, when I press “Open” the whole window closes up and appears as if I had done nothing to attempt a change. I have tried it many times to no avail. On the other hand, it is only intuitive because I did not see any specific instructions for changing the photo. What do you advise?

Tramm Hudson said… - Hey Robb.... thanks for letting a 7th Cav guy hang out with the 2nd ACR troopers. I know we have met a couple of times, but did not know of the Cav connection. I remember back in 2006 when I was running for Congress a man in his 50s came up to me on Main Street and said he was going to vote for me because I was CAV... he told me had seen a picture of me on a Sheridan and knew I was in the Cav. That had to have been you. If there were more Cav troopers in Sarasota I might have won that race!
I love the website... and I like your music, too! And the videos on Camp Gates are fascinating. Returning to Camp Gates is on my bucket list. Take care, Garry Owen, and Toujours Pret!

Wayne Dixon said… - Hello Robb. Did you receive the e-mail from me about those old boys hand fishing those old mud cats. No way am I sticking my arm down their throat and out the gills. Those were some big cats 40 - 50 lbs at least. Best Wishes.
