Kramer Regan was our medic on A-2 in Germany in 65. During the annual MOS training the only comment the Group surgeon had was that Kramer should be a doctor. Hiswife outranked him. She was an Army nurse.. She was stationed at the McGraw Army Hospital in Munich while Kramer was in Lenggries. Their plan was for her to put him through medical school. He obviously changed his mind and made a career of the Army. One of the finest individuals I have ever met.

The Regans -- a short hijack
Unlike most of us in Germany, the Regans had an affinity for "Martoonies". In Lenggries the team rooms were in the basement. The team room was on one side of the hall and the team store room was across the hall. Sometimes Kramer would get martinied out and someone on the team would drive him to work. We would lock him in the store room until he sobered up and report him as present in formation. This was common practice for several tipsy team mates over the years.
I believe his wife's name was Dee. She worked at the ER and when a member of group was brought in for a BAT she would draw blood from another patient for the alcohol test.

Rocky Farr
When I went thru 300-F1 in Jan 78, Rocky was an SFC fixinta goat a Med School. But he had a slide show from his days as Medic at Ban Me Thout, CCS, that the staff made time for every class back in the day to see. Alla those things that were in the old A-Team Medic kit-the Reagent kit, the manual centrifuge, the microscope, along with the minor surg and dental kits, were all part of the equipment that Medics had back in the dispensaries in camp.
Somma the Chase Medics of note at CCC during my time there were John Padgette, Chet Gaston, Bob Zamudio and Tony Dorff. Great guys all, who'd hang it all out there for Recon Teams that were in trouble and on the run.
And they offered the service running a, uhm, special clinic for the "ladies" of the 'ville, onna weekly basis, thus keepin STDs to a minimum!!!!
