Tell us a little about your cav days.
LTC Edwards was the XO under COL Wagner, the 60th Commander of the 2d ACR. I was assigned to the CAV to be the Comptroller and worked in a small office with one NCO, SGT Larry Nysveen. I remember the XO had the habit of calling everyone "Dick"; I was the "Comptroller Dick".
Tell us a little about you now.
I did a lot of volksmarching while in Germany and returned to the States in 1979 to help formed a Michigan Club to be a part of the American Volkssport Association. I remained in the Reserves till 1998 when I retired as a LTC with the 21st Theater Support Command. Our unit was activated for Desert Shield, and served with the 22nd Support Command during Desert Storm. I was instrumental in organizing the first volksmarch in Saudi Arabia in May 1991. I still enjoy the sport and continue volksmarching in my retirement.

Name a few buddies you served with that you would like to find.
SGT Larry Nysveen and I still keep in touch. Let me know if you find CPT McWilliams who replaced me as the Comptroller Dick.

Rest in peace, sir.
Toujours Pret Donald,Welcome Sir, 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.
If you need any help, you can contact Robb, or myself, 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,
