Tell us a little about your cav days.
I thoroughly enjoyed my days in 2ACR, living in West Germany, and serving with great Troopers, NCOs and officers.
Tell us a little about you now.
Retired and enjoying life. We've lived in Las Vegas, Nevada since July 2006. Married to Jeanne since 1984. Our two adult sons, Max & Lance also live and work here in Las Vegas, NV.

It's been a long time. Perhaps when you get home from Afghanistan we can whip up a Lightning Troop reunion. You were a Hell of a CO in the best damn Troop ever.
Be safe over there.
Best regards from your former Troop NBC NCO,
Carl Prescott
Good to see your doing well and still serving. I had always wondered what you were doing since you left Amberg. I knew you were going to the Michigan Nation Guard and a Armor unit but that wa all.
I know you will accomplish the misson and take care of the troops in Afganistan as you always did as Commander of Lightening Troop.

Toujours Pret Doug,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.
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 tell all your friends about the new DragoonBase.
Thanks Again for joining,
Jesse Kelley
