Our mission ... Armor School Support... assents going every which way to be beat upon and returned to my troopers for service and repair the cycle never ended...the expected results... piss-poor morale no company coheasion or espirit and a bitch to command...hense my own personal purgatory.

M60A1s with the searchlights still mounted. best.

I was commissioned in Armor out of Norwich in 65...did AOB at Knox in 66... a short stint as an XO/TO, AIT, Armor, Ft Knox...voluntered for Special Forces, branch immaterial at the time, attended Jump School, SFOC on to RVN for a year of fun and games stalking the wiley Cong...back to Knox for a year in purgatory as CO of a Tank Company ... requested a Cav assignment to Europe out of Knox... OPO said no way your going back to RVN... told them nicely to piss up a rope... left active duty and eventually went to law school...joined the Reserves(as a part time job)...truly a hell on earth experience ... did the Advanced Course, go figure, promoted to 0-4 and then went inactive to practice law. Never did serve in a Cav Unit, always wanted to, but as we know the needs of the Army come first... I might have stayed in if I had... now aren't you sorry you asked ?
