Yeah, I was there that day, in that Bradley. I was the RTO that the camera filmed during the dismounted stuff. We were all in overwhites. The name of the show was "Early Warning, with David Hartman". It came on Fox, I believe, back in 88. The cros...

I remember this. There were pics of guys in white camo. This was a big thing at the time. I can't remember where I saw the pics, but I remember there was a lot of them. I'll have to do some digging.
Must have been in Feb. I was at Gates on New Years into Jan. 88 and do not recall any buzz up there about it.

Um, ICE Special Agents will be knocking on your front door within 48 hours, in order to confiscate a historic artifact and return it to the country of origin....Oh...Oops...it doesn't exist anymore.
Anyone remember when the retired BGS Col. was shot trying to help a couple of BRD soldiers that were running into FRG from Czech?
This one time at band camp...no really it was on a 3 day border watch excercise and some frauleins brought us food and beir on horseback. That was nice!!!

- Ted,
I was in L Trp from 86-88. I arrived in Amberg in June 86. I inprocessed with both Day and Schneider. Sorry to tell you--Schneider was killed during his first FTX. He was driving an ITV when it began to roll. He tried to jump out but was crushed beneath it.
I hung out with Day alot during inprocessing. I ran into him in the PX on my second tour in '91. I was in C Trp at the time.
I also remember Corder well.

Toujours Pret Ted,
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
