How ya doin'? Been a long time Bro!
Yeah, 1SG Charles W. Hickey, the one and only! He was an excellent 1SG, I drove for him long enough to know, and remember.
Capt's Berry and Martinez were outstanding troop CO's as well.
I ran across LT Schinke too, and dropped him a line as well.
Take care Bro.
Great to hear from you. I do remember those days--and nights :-)-- in the basement of the E Troop barracks in the arms room with you. I also remember you taking good care of me, since as a wet behind the ears LT, I was pretty clueless. Hopefully I didn't make your life too unpleasant. Hope this finds you doing great in life. Thank you for your service to our country. It was an honor serving with you.
Best regards,
Tad Schinke
Welcome to the new DragoonBase, the new Base has plenty of newer features, lots of sub-groups,(ie,F-Trp,Amberg,Medics,etc.) and links for 2nd Cav News and History.

If you need any help, you can contact Robb, or myself, or just yell out, another member may be able to help you.
And our only wish, ‘Keep it clean’, use our Real names/with Pictures(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 the new DragoonBase.
Thanks Again for joining Dragoon Base, and for your service to our great country,
