Hello troopers, I've visited this site for years and I guess it's time to say a few words. I came into A troop around Dec. of 68 on the 40-commo track as "Dapper" 9er-bravo. Gibbs was the driver, Hutch, Sgt Kelson, after Gibbs got hurt, I drove for a while too. After a while, I went to B-troop where I was the lone commo. guy for a time, and finished out there in Nov. of '68. I'd like to throw out some random names and memories to see if anyone shares them. They all kind of run together after so many years. I do remember Doris the dog and the pup...Jo-Bob the monkey eating cigarettes, c-4, and the tank Sgt. who called everybody "Bow-deen". Blackhorse Tet, and dust storms, Xuan Loc, Rubber plantations, the Aussies and the Kiwis. Real beer lovers "The party starts about the time the last yank passes out, mate." I have a lot of pretty good pix to send in once I get 'em all scanned. Until next time. Bless the * * * Cav.

I was a member of the MISE team (SGT Root) that went to FYROM back in Dec 94.

First off, Merry Christmas to all.

I'm looking for any photos involving the hummv getting sling loaded during our time there. I'm still in contact with the driver and want to "remind" him of his driving skills. Funny thing, we had the TF J-2 in the vehicle when it happened.
