  1. I have enjoyed this forum for over a year now and this post compelled me to respond. I always take advantage of opportunities that could possibly reunite me will old friends I met while serving the grand USA.

    I enlisted in 1992 as a 19K, M1A1 armor crewman, and was stationed at Ft. Stewart with B/1/64 AR. As a result of the Ranger fiasco in Mogadishu my unit was quickly sent to Mogadishu to restore order and I spent six "wonderful" months in the African paradise of Somalia. I actually enjoyed my time in Africa because it allowed me to see many of the world's militaries. I will keep my opinion of the United Nations to myself though.

    I also spent some time with A/1/66 AR at Ft. Hood until my ETS from active duty until '96. While there I was fortunate enough to take part in the relief operations in Guantanamo Bay Naval Station, Cuba. There were some 30,000 Cuban refugees encamped there in '95 and I thought they would make great future Americans.

    Since my ETS I have been commissioned, 2LT, in the Texas NG as a Military Intelligence Officer with the 649th MI BN, 49th Armored Division. I must admit that tanks will always be my first love though. Nothing compares to a M1A1 roaring down a tank gunnery range inflicting massive damage on an imaginary enemy.
