      Well, nobody was KILLED, anyway. Two guys got burned, one very seriously. I got blown over a fence but was basically uninjured. I did end up with a 100% disability in 2002, for PTSD mainly.

      Thanks for the reply, Mark. I guess you just missed the fireworks in July. Capped off the month by blowing up a fully combat loaded Sheridan, and I had the best seat in the house for the show!

      Left a helluva mess afterward. You can see the pics here: Death of C-15

      Hey Mark, welcome to Dragoon Base. Make yourself at home.

      When did you leave in '74? I got to C Trp in January.

      Toujours Pret Mark,


      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.

      Thanks again for joining Dragoon Base,
      and for your Service and Dedication,
      to Our Great Country.
