awesome experience!!! 3rd Floor MEDICS rocked!!! Arrived in Germany as an E-2 private......learned alot about the TRACK vehicles(ambulances)......also the 5 Ton .... and the HUMMER was just rec'd in 1988. I drove the LT and SFC around during REFORGER...... early morning PT with many many miles of running in/around Amberg..... Learned to SKI on many trips to Austria. We would usually walk to town(amberg) and then ride the TAXI back to post late at night. Learned how to ride the TRAIN to Nuremburg. Rotated on to Camp May and Camp Reed a few times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RODNEY
Wishing you many more, from all of us at DragoonBase!!!
I posted notices for the Texas Chapter meeting here at Dragoon Base on the events calendar, and on all the 2d Cavalry Association websites.
Hope this helps.
By the way, I live in Tacoma, Washington so it would be a long drive for me. Thanks for the invite anyway.
Toujours Pret!
Is this an official sanctioned 2d Cavalry Association chapter you are starting?
If not, would you like to start one?
One quick story. Sitting in the dispensary one night, the door opens in comes a guy with the top of his head shaved. You know like the monks in the middle ages. On the top is a band-aid. He was at Camp Pitman the night before, went downtown and had a little problem with a lady of the night. She hit him on the head with her high heel shoe. Back at camp the medics had been drinking a little to much tea. So they couldn't get the band-aid to stick to his hair. He came to us to see if he was alright. Lucky for him we were out of tea.
