Tell us a little about your cav days.
The Rock was cold and windy during winter months. A helicopter ride to France in the spring for equipment calibration was the first sign of the end of winter. Opertaions on the FRG/CSSR Border was exciting and yet sober at times. Wish we had the equipment of todays Cav back in those years. Computers, GPS and communication radios that work would have been great. SP 4 Carlos Perez, SSG Grisby and Cpt Mastrangelo will always be remembered. Took all my leave in Europe which was a great experience meeting so many wonderful people. Left the service at Ft. Lewis Washington ending with the B trp 3/5 Air Cav.
Tell us a little about you now.
Married with no children. Live in NE Washington State on Lake Roosevelt "Columbia River" which reminds me of the mountians back in Germany. Working for Hearth and Home Technologies as a Product Certification Engineer in Research and Development conducting product safety testing on gas/wood & pellet heating appliances. Was in the Washington National Guard Reserve 506 TC 1981-1983 as a scuba diver for two years until I was injured in a construction accident. Always learning new and exciting things to keep up with all the young bucks of today.

Toujours Pret Gary,
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
