Blast from the past. Some of you ol FOGs may recognize some of these guys... I knew all but two of them....the good ol days, check out the "staches"...lol |
I've seen that clip before. Wish it was on YouTube when I was in high school. Very cool.

After my time. I did pull "Smoke Eater Detail" more than once....

I'm certain that video's been posted on here once before.
Drank beer with a few of those guys. ;) |
Does anyone know of a video of the full "start to finish" Gabriel Demonstration?
MR2, that looks exactly like my team would have looked in 1976. [Hey, I may steal the photo :-)] |

Yeah, I was there in 83 don't recognize any of them. Lt's on a team? I never saw that. I'm guessing that was not mid 80's but late 70's or very early 80's. |
My XO on A20 in the 46th Co was a 1Lt. We were pretty hard on him. This was in 1973. It wasn't uncommon to have a 1Lt as an XO. IIRC, Richard was a Detachment CDR as a 1LT.

I'd say '84. Notice the SF Tabs.
I knew about half the NCOs on that team. One of them, Ricky Ervin, came to us in B/1-7th as a CPL out of SFQC in '82 IIRC and was still there when I left in June '83, so it would have been after that time. As for LTs in Group - they weren't plentiful, for sure, because branches at that time were telling them SF wasn't such a good idea, but two of us in 1-7th were prior service SF NCOs commissioned from OCS and Det Cdrs as 2LTs, and about 1/3 of our ODAs had 1LT XOs. Later, as a 1LT Det Cdr, I also had a recent SFOC 1LT grad as my Det XO for 4 months to prep him to take the ODA (a SCUBA det) prior to my moving to become the ODB XO for MAJ Jones. Such were the times. ;) Richard |
We had three or four LTs in A-1/7 in '83. The Company XO was one, he was waiting for his broke leg to heal so he could go BACK through the Q; he broke it on the Obstacle Course in Phase 1. :eek:
We did the Gabe demo about two-three times in '83-'86. |
I knew several of those guys. I'm certain it was made sometime during the first quarter of '84.

I think this article is written by our HOGNOSE??

That was pretty cool. They should use something like that in a movie. :munchin
I'm just wondering, how many cans of spray starch that young Capt. used on his BDUs? ;) |

Along with taper to fit, the starch uniform 107 was about the stupidest thing "someone" dreamed up.. LMAO |
