ODA 125 1981 to 1990, Arlington Hts. lot of good memories and old friends.

I'll be attending SFA Ch 75's annual picnic in San Diego on 10 July. Lots of 12th Group guys in that chapter. Anyone in the area who wants to attend can contact Ch 75 through the SFA website or PM me.

Wish I had known about Ch 75 picnic on July 10th, I would have gone. I was in the 12th from '74-'75...

ODA 322 Picnic Gathering
 

The old ODA 322, CO. B, 3 BN, 12th SFG(A) had a picnic gathering up in Marysville, WA on Saturday, 28 Aug 2010 at the team members house. I didn't make it, but here are the ones that did.

HQ 12th SFG (A)
 

I was active duty with Headquarters 12th SFG (A) 1987 - 1990 as the S-1. PCS's to Fort Benning and the 12th was deactivated! In 2008 met the retired COL from G-1 (Pentagon) who issued the orders to deactivate. He said they kick themselves every day for doing that because the 11th and 12th are needed in todays war.

Of interest to 12th Service Company & 3/12 personnel.
 

Thanks for this.

Any QP's on here that were in C/3/12 at Los Alamitos, 1986-1989? I came to 12th Group from 10th Group in April, 1986. Was on 332. ETS'd in 1989 cause it wasn't cool with my supervisors to be in the Reserves and a new LEO on probation at the same time (Times have definitely changed for the better in that respect).
