"You can talk about us, but you can't talk about us without us." Ha ... hadn't seen nor heard that one in awhile. My RTOs were always some of the most interesting guys. We lost three of them, jumping PRC 77s, in Gallant Eagle in '82. Three out of seven killed on that jump with 156 critically injured .... many more RTOs injured than even the TOW, mortar and 60 gunners. I always figured there was something to that.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become.
In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.

Have any of you guys found a friend on those 'veteran locator' websites. The few I checked out all want you to join or subscribe. I am a frugal man, and was hoping there was a free central registry. I reconnected with a bunch of shipmates thru Facefugg. I hate the platform but it was good for finding friends from 30 years ago. Thanks for the reply, I apparently am permanently banned from Facebook, I made some offensive remarks about AG Eric Holder once, maybe I can get my daughter to do a 'straw man' thing for me.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I came through Brems right after MOS's changed from 05C to 31C. Most often carried PRC-77's, SINCGARS, TACSAT and chased a LT, CPT and MAJ around. Commo seemed to be forgotten about by the Pentagon and promotion boards. Points were sky high my whole time in. Should have simply been 11B primary. Lotsa fun it was. Ha!

Army, signed up 1982
19E Primary MOS
63N Secondary MOS
1st CAV, 3rd Battalion 10th CAV, “Ready and Forward”
That was my favorite unit because I could go back to my home town every weekend if I didn’t have CQ duty or was not in the field.
Favorite job, driver for First Sargent, had my own M151A2 to take care of. When in the field he usually went back to the post every night. He was short and always bitching about being to old for this field crap. So I got to sleep in my own bed instead of in an M88.
