Thank You

Thank you for sharing your stories. It took me several days to read through the entire thread, but it was like a book that I couldn't put down. I have greatly enjoyed reading all of your stories and memories!

E-7 and E-8s doing police call outside the Center (IMA at that time). MG Flanagan was in charge of the Center.

I was in Training Group then. Our first "Pass In Review" under the command of MG Flanagan resulted in us having to learn a new addition to FM 22-5. MG Flanagan thought SF troops incapable of executing a "Column Left" during the Pass in Review, so he had us do a "Left Flank" instead - which resulted in its own set of problems.

I was told by a TAC that they called it "22-Flanagan"!

What do you remember most about the Q Course/Training Group?

Back then Group wasn't noted for DD.

Snagging a 60

Spending nearly an hour slipping Jeff King's M60 out from his grip and out of his dummy cord while in perimeter one night, Phase 1

Jeff and I were always doing stuff like that to each other.

When he woke up and found the 60 missing he figured the "Gs" had come in during the night and taken it from him

He was one happy camper when he got it back!

But for the life of him couldn't figure out how I'd managed to pull it off without waking him up

If he had there's no doubt he would have beat my a** but good

We both went to the 10th at Devens after the "Q". Jeff went on to become a Warrant. A great guy, good friend and one tough operator.
