Tell us a little about your cav days.
Always with Fox Troop. Initially Asst. Squad leader on Sheridans, with (I think) PSG Roger Hill & 2LT Joesph LaVach & CPT Robert Gaudet. I remember when (Newly minted) Cpt Ralph Hayles came from Air Troop to be the new F Troop Commander. 2LT Charles Collins was Plt Leader then. I started as a SGT Asst. Squad leader, worked thru Squad Leader/section leader as SSG and eventually PSG (as a SSG) in March 1978. I was there when we transitioned from Sheridans to M-60A3s. Left to attend flight school in early 1979.
