sturmtiger101 Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Evening all, I served 5 years US Army National Guard as a 91Bravo / Charlie in a M-48A5 equipped armoured battalion, the 1/163 of the S.C. National Guard. It was alot of fun most of the time and helped pay my way through school. After college I enlisted in the regular USAF for 4 yrs as a med tech. Made E-5 SSgt. Still in nursing/medical field today, but my first love has always been for AFVs. Cheers, Eric Tuggle ------------------ " They're acting as if they have already won the war! " B.

Gregory Gold Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 US Army '82-'83. 11B in B-2-16, 1st ID. USAR '85-'90 95B E-5 Germany, Honduras, lost o'fun Active USAR '90-'91 Absolutely nothing to do with the real war effort. Port security for all the goodies going, and war booty returning. Biggest challenges buring that mission: 1-Keeping hookers off the ships. 2-Keeping other reservists from breaking into the mobile PX, to be told that was NOT my mission. 3-Making sure that crew chiefs and other maintenance personnel didn't strip other units equipment to replace their 'non combat losses'. Got out to avoid the 'new world order' crap. I was a soldier, not a social worker. ------------------ To train a man in mind and not in morals, it to train a menace to society.

DraGoon Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 Originally posted by gibsonm: 20yrs service as at 03FEB01. ....Dragon, Do you guys still get on so well with 1 QDG (our allied Regt in the RAC)? Sorry gibsonm, didn't see your post earlier. Yes many a good time was had at games nights in the mess of the QDG or them in ours, if you've visited you'll know what I mean. A cavalry cup weekend with both regiments in the final was something to behold. A fine regiment. IIRC We have an affiliation with the RAAC Hunter River Lancers and the RCAC Windsor Regiment. In 1987 we conducted a cross training exercise with The Hunter River Lancers and swapped troops, My Troop Corporal was one of the lucky ones. I got a Cpl called Bruce Rademacher (sp?) in his place, he was a good soldier and converted to our equipment and procedures quickly. He seemed to have a good time although he did not particularly enjoy the Winter weather in Germany. DG ------------------ CM Outpost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
