      Jimmy, can you give me a call? I'm trying to gather some information about an accident we had at Grafenwoehr when a HEMTT struck one of our M1's and the TC of the HEMTT had to be cut out of the vehicle. He died in route to the hospital. If you can remember can you call? 719-494-4344 or email: llleary@gmail.com   Thanks, Lonny

      Welcome home Trooper.
      The Dragoonbase.com, has
      plenty of updated features
      (similar to MySpace), lots of sub-groups,
      (Officers Club,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc),
      and links for “2nd Cavalry Assn.”
      News and History Centers.

      Robb Russell has posted some tips for
      navigating the site(ie,photos,links,ect)
      in the Forum.

      Please feel free to stop by and read the
      latest “Tacoma Dave's ‘Triva Quiz’”,
      you can learn some 2nd Cav history,
      and you could even, win a kool prize.

      If you need any help, you may contact
      Robb Russell, or any of the 5 admins listed
      at the top of the page, or just yell out,
      another member may be able to help you.

      And our only wish is to,
      ‘Keep it clean’.
      Use your real name and picture,
      (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, where to find the DragoonBase.

      Thanks again for joining Dragoon Base,

    Tell us a little about your cav days.

    During REFORGER 1986 or 87, I can't remember the year, it was one of those unbelievably cold and snowing. I was the CO's driver and I had somehow broke the flimsy little door handle on the M1151 (Jeep) that was on the commanders side. One night we stopped at the Squadron TOC for a meeting and the CO told me to fix the door. I looked around the parking lot and found the 1SG's Jeep and took the door from his side and replaced it with my broken one. I didn't realize that the 1SG's driver was asleep in the vehicle (his name was Sullivan or Sully) Long story short when REFORGER was over, I walked in the barracks and that fat 1SG (his name was Burgaloff) had put me on CQ for a week.


    Tell us a little about you now.

    I am still very happily married to the same woman that I met in Bindlach while I was stationed there. We will celebrate our 25th Anniversary in September. I retired in 2006 after 22 years of service. We live in Orlando now and I work for Lockheed Martin.


    Name a few buddies you served with that you would like to find.

    Greg Stillwell Mike Hoffman
