Tell us a little about your cav days.
I got assigned to the 2ACR in August 1990 as C&C S-3. LTC Steven Robinette was the Squadron Commander, COL. Holder was the RCO. I immediately went to Graf for gunnery and while there Iraq attacked Kuwait. Col. Holder immediately began preparing the Regiment for war. Veteran's Day 1990 the Regiment was alerted for deployment to Desert Shield. Col. Holder made me the Rear Detachment Commander because I had just come from an assignment as DPCA (Director of Personnel and Community Activities) at Neu-Ulm Military Community. I finally got to Iraq in March 1991, returned with the Regiment in May. Col. Holder changed command with Col. John Eberle. Maj. Steve Gravlin, Regimental Adjutant became C&C's XO and I got moved to the Regimental Adjutant's position. At this time the Regiment was ordered to return to CONUS so my time as Adjutant was devoted to making sure everyone got their redeployment orders, awards, and that the lights were turned off in the building after everyone left (almost literally). We returned to the States in July 1992.
Tell us a little about you now.
