Good Day, How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( officialaishacbdd@gmail.com ) for the full details. Have a nice day Thanks God bless Aisha.
Terence it is a good thing for all of us that you took all those pictures,, I enjoyed looking at them and I did notice the CVC helmet picture you posted that is pretty cool I wore the next generation helmet I will have to look for one of those, looks pretty good there with the goggles on them .
Nice pictures Terence I was at the Pond from 78 until 80. I also used to live in Sebastopol enjoyed it back in the 70's I was born in Healdsburg but retired out of Sacramento. Take care.
Your contribution to the continuation of Dragoon Base is very much appreciated. THANK YOU!!!
Sorry I missed your comment from last June, Terence.
There is a great website if you want to read up on US Army border operations in Germany 1945-83. A LOT of information, might take months to read.

Looks like the patrol areas were in a lot of chaos during the 1960's between squadrons, regiments, and even countries back then. It was some interesting reading.
Check out CHAPTER FIVE THE BORDER FORCE ADJUSTS: 1960-1970.
Welcome to Dragoon Base, Terence. Make yourself at home.
I see camp assignments changed after you left. When I was there 1974-75, Pitman and Gates belonged to 1st Squadron out of Bindlach. 3rd Squadron had Camp Reed (Rotz) and May (Regen). My first day in the 2d Cav was at Gates and my last day in the 2d Cav was at Pitman.
