      Jim, Sorry the years have been bad for names. The three people who lived in barracks that you might recall was the mail clerk, a red eye gunner from Alabama named Bud spoke with a southern accent and a big black e4 from Miami who wore a bowler hat when off duty. I hung with a lot of the medics.

      Jim do I remember U are do U remember me I was know too all as HILLBILLY In Squadron Maints from 74-79

      Jim, Thanks for your reply. Not sure but perhaps you knew SSG Gomez, MSG Knapp, SGT Fair, Rosignol, or Handy. Did not see them on the list but wish I knew of a way of locating them. I lived off base near the Bridge Church.  Still shop for food daily like a German. Feel guilty I used to raid my Neighbors veggie gardens for a fresh salad. Where do you call home these days? I am in central Florida. Toujours Pret Jim

      Jim, I was at 2/2 acr from 11-75 to 11-77. I haven't had contact with Roger Tegge since I got out in 1979. Last I know he was living just outside Ft. Lewis in Puyallup, Wa.

      Well then maybe you heard about the Sheridan we blew up in C Troop in 1974. Stirred up quite the commotion for awhile.

      Welcome home Troop.
      The DragoonBase here at Ning.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.
