No matter what they call it, it will always be Ft. Benning to me.


Same here. I went through DTC in 1981. Was your uncle with the cadre? A friend of mine from IOBC was the OIC then. Last name was Epps.

Yes, cadre, or that was my understanding per my aunt .He retired in 1979. SSG Dennis Trowbridge, not much over five feet tall……...passed away in 1997.
Three tours RVN.
