12th Group
 

Wondering if there are any members floating around from 3/12... Hamilton Field, Los Alamitos, South Forth Lewis, Buckley, or even Ft MacArthur (San Pedro).

HHC 3/12 here.

ODA 322, CO. B, 3 BN, 12th SFG(A) here. (It was at Sandpoint, NAS, Seattle WA at the time. :lifter )

HHC 3/12 and ODA 336.

I was B. Co. 1/12th ODA 121 out of Arlington Heights, IL before we were deactivated.

How do we get to add an image (avatar)?

I only worked with the 3/12th during the annual training times and was stationed/worked out of Arlington Heights as the group advisor/S3 when the cranked up the FTM program in 1982-84. Really weird command and control lash up with 3/12 coming under a completely different set of folks.

Co A., 2nd BN, 12th group here. Oklahoma City, Tulsa and DFW area

How about filling out your profile and introduction

Done!

I was with B Co in Arlington Heights for a short while in 1985/1986 as the S3 before becoming an IMA.

Did you still jump Cairn DZ when you were their?

I never jumped DZ Cairn and I don't recall the name so I don't know. Sorry. As I recall there were 3 or 4 regular DZs that we used, not counting Camp McCoy WI.

I do remember we jumped into Camp Lejeune, N.C. while I was there. Air Force missed the DZ of course and I had to climb down out of 50 foot pine tree. Had a great time with the Marine Recon folks while we were there.

Jack, do you still have the dumbbell in your office??


Last time I remember jumping Cairn DZ was 28 SEP 85 when COL Fred Grover, Group Surgeon (RIP) jumped twice, landed on that hillside with one foot high and had a really spectacular fracture...We air-evaced him to Northwest Community Hospital in the jump aircraft....He never jumped again and I never saw him again either...I think he finished his career at the VA Hospital in Big Spring TX...not sure though.

Anyone heard from Gerry S the Svc Co Cdr then 3/12 Cdr? We need to find him.

Now Doc, I have had a lot of dumbbells in front of my desk with their heels locked or are you talking about the athletic training apparatus?:D

Good to hear from you.

I joined the 12th back in 1978. They had a unit in Lubbock, TX that I was slotted to go to as an 11F. They even had a slot for me to attend the O&I school, but I got medical boarded for a back injury while on active duty. This Army medical officer asked me a couple questions as part of the review after looking at the x-rays and reading the physician's report. She wanted to know if I was married and I said yes. She wanted to know if I wanted to have kids and I said yes. She then poked me in the waist just below the belt line and said "then don't jump out of any more airplanes. One hard landing and you'll be dead from there down.". I gotta tell you - that got my attention. Anyway, I was released from the unit after making a couple drills.
