Tell us a little about your cav days.
Man there isn't enough room on this computer for me to tell it all. You can believe this though. There was not a Holiday that the Troops who didn't go on leave, spent in the Barracks. They were all at my quarters, including my Plt Ldr.
Tell us a little about you now.
In January 1978, I sustained a broken neck while at HOF, My old first shirt Trobough, Talked the Sq. Co, into putting a bar to reenlistment, and gave me several options. I was friends with a guy inpersonnel, he put in an option that hadn't been in the first Bar. That option was I could take Immediate Diischarge. Now I am what they call a C2 incomplete quadriplegic. Which simply means, that I get to feel all the pain a complete doesn't After 17 1/2 Years they finally broke down and gave me my 100% disability.

They had a major change of command in the regiment and I lost all my contacts. Gonna take a little bit to re-establish them.

Welcome to the new DragoonBase, the site 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,ect) in the Forum.
And his only wish that ‘We keep it clean’, use our real names/with pictures, and you tell all your friends about the new DragoonBase.
Thanks Again for joining,
