Those were rough days in 3/3! You could write a book just about the hard times 3/3 went through coming on line under "Diane" as DCO and Bn CDR. Times were hard for us all, but 3/3 had it so much worse than the rest of us! We used to feel sorry for 3/3 when I was in 2/3! The Rwanda stop-n-go fiasco, the bus rides to JRTC, ACRI... You guys got hosed a lot and I wasn't even in 3/3 back then so I know there are a bunch I never heard about! :(
I was JR 18C on one of the 2/3 teams that went to PR with your company prior to the Haitian Vacation...fun times were had by all! I don't remember your CO's name now...he was an "odd" cat. I bumped into him in Panama a few years later and he was a LTC (!?). Crazy times.
I also had the misfortune of being stuck in Cap Haitien with CARICOM #1 for the last few months of Haiti round 1, OPCON to "Diane." That was pure hell as I recall. Quite a few stories to share about that too... Insanity.
After my SWC tour I ended up in 3/3 (2002-2005) and it was great. Wartime 3/3 has an entirely different face than the old peacetime 3/3 had, let me tell you. Wouldn't have wanted to be deployed under any other guidon than 3/3.
Good to see you on here SGM.
