      Well.. go figure!  I am not sure if you remember me at all, but I do remember you!  I was in commo, but did a lot of Patrols while at the Border.  Actually, went on a few patrols that you led.  You had my complete respect.  You were an outstanding NCO and performed the Mission flawlessly.. well, pretty damn close, anyway! lol  Good to see you are on here!

      Hey Paul,

                         Said you got on the wrong side of CSM. His last was not Krebs was it. That guy cost me my career and then had the cunt to apologize for it. Boot shining was his business and I hope to god no one had to go to war with him.

      Paul,

                 Good to hear from you. I remember you .I can see you in your field jacket and ranger hat. If my  memory serves me right you were a very good tanker too. Yea my 1st tank was a  doosy. Had my driver who was a maniac steal a driver escape hatch from another company. I think I shot a three man crew that year we were always short men. We did walk the line and everyone one of us has bragging rights on that tour of duty. I finished out as a 6. Did about 5 years in the guard and reserves. Mortar platoon Sgt. then Liason Sgt. For a Artillery unit. Should have stuck it out for the retirement dough but did not. The guard Ancoa is a bed making deal . Did not want to go through that shit again.

                      Take Care

      Joe

      Paul I remember you from B Troop. You were a SSG then I believe(TC). Long time ago. I still dream about the place. I to drove truck when I got out for a year. Did not like it. I am still working , but, the Tanks took a toll on me too. Had a foot crushed at Ft. Riley during Gunnery and it has come back to haunt me in a big way. I am at 30% with the VA. So I guess in the end the Army stands behind me. I can,t remeber if I was on your crew for awhile before I got my 6 and my own tank? Take care ! The berets had just been taken away before I got there and then we given the Ranger style baseball caps.

       

                        Tojours Pret

      Welcome home Trooper.
      The Dragoonbase.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,

      And our only wish is to,
      ‘Keep it clean’.
      Use your real name and picture,
