      Bob,
      Glad to see you made it over to the Oldtimers. We had to have been at Gates together at one time. If you have any pictures from the day, would be happy to see them. I have a couple pictures taken at Gates on my page. Wish I had taken more, but.......

      The Dragoonbase.com, has
      plenty of updated features
      (HTML and format friendly), lots of sub-groups,
      (Officers Club,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,and the
      always busy Oldtimers club).
      Also links for “2nd Cavalry Assn.”

      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,

      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

      Welcome to Dragoon Base, Bob.
      2.5 years at Gates? That was the first place I went when I got assigned to C Troop in 1974. 1st Squadron in Bindlach took over the camp sometime after you left.
