Tell us a little about your cav days.
I was in the CEV section of the 84th Eng Co, in C&C Sqdn, when the Dueler was the Reg Cdr.
Tell us a little about you now.
I retired in 2012 as a Colonel after 35 years of service.

definitely got the sense that the regular Army was jealous, of our "Special" but effective ways of doing things, 1st they took away our unique camo pattern (that they are going back too in a "Digital" format, took the Berets and the Border tabs, and were eyeing our tanker boots when I left...

Well, yes, it was a little isolated up there on the Rock.
Thanks for the come-back.
Col. Wood, got a question, about the Dueler I've not seen any pictures to confirm it but it was described to me. Did the Dueler use a Camo pattern known as the Dueler Dots? Did it resemble the Digital Dots integrated into the current Camouflage in todays uniforms? Was it as effective "On the Move" as when Static in Defilade? (Why the Quiz? I am writing a piece on my site www.markmatter.com on the competing Camo Patterns and how Congress ended testing last week on the basis of cost and redundency then turned around and told DOD to complete the Carbine soldier testing phase that they were going to cut under Sequester)MarkMatter
Welcome to Dragoon Base, Curtis.
How the heck did you end up in the 84th Engineers with an 11E10R8 MOS? Didn't like pullin' the trigger on that Sheridan?
Thank you for your service to our country and continued support of the 2d Dragoons.
