I remember most the time on the border at Coburg and Hof and of seeing a LOT of Germany from the cupola of a M60A1 and a M551A2. I have forgotten most of the fellow troopers names. I remember 1SG/CSM Terry Trobough and SFC Gary Strickland.

I retired in 1988. My last duty assignment was at the National Training Center, Ft Irwin, CA. I was an Observer/Controller (12B) Cobra Team. I am currently just a happy easy going Grand Father of two beautiful girls/

When I got there the clerk filled me in on what was going on. I reported to Smitty, and he got on the phone with Trobough, and told him he had lost the bet. When my car left the parking lot, it was my wife who was driving, but Trobough couldn't see that.
As for me being the best Recon SSG in the Squadron, those words came from Ltc. Getgood. I was the only Senior NCO in the Squadron with a Top Secret Nato Clearance. Trobough, seemed to resent me, because I had been promoted by a 2 Star General at Ft. Carson, my last duty assignment before reporting for PCS to the 2nd Cav. I'm sure that you are not aware of all of the particular Pi**ing contest, that I had going on with Trobough. However I never received an EER less than 123, Which had to go through him in order for it to be put in my 201 file.
I will not discuss this subject again, in this forum, however you can contact me at, eaglfether@aol.com
I also remember SSG Strickland, he was a tall man in charge of F Troops Commo. By the Way Trobough went on to become The Regimental CSM. The Squadron CO was Ltc. Getgood. Do you remember SSG Fishback? I am trying to find him to verify that when that Buck Sgt jumped on me while I was sitting on the Gym Floor at Hof.
Sincerely,
SSG willie.
