Happy 35th to Special Forces

Oh, I remember ... shortly thereafter, I was able to branch transfer from Infantry to Special Forces. It had been a long haul, from 31542 after OCS, Airborne, and SFOC, to assignment with 8th SFGA, Spanish Language at DLIWC, a stint with 10th SFGA because 8th SFG had downsized with the reduction in forces in Vietnam. Finally, PCS to 8th SFGA which deactivated after arrival and became 3/7 SFGA. Two 'years later I REFRAD and after working hard to come aboard, find a slot with 12SFGA.
So, while my assignments in SF were as an Infantry branch officer, I leapt at the chance to make my home with the SF branch. So later that year, after jumping through some administrative hoops I officially became an 18A. Best move I ever made (without moving, LOL) .....
So ..... Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Gents! Many Thanks to you all!
