Hello folks. Was refered to you guys and am now making my first entry.
Heres a Bio:
My name is Ed. I joined the Army in 74 and went to the Q course in 77. Assigned 2/5th. Greenlight projects allowed for access to specialty schools. As a E5 I was extremely fortunate to get HALO, SCUB, Sniper, Dive Supervisor and HALO Jump Master within the first 18 monts in the unit. Spent first years on 541 on Smoke Bomb Hill right next to the HALO school office. Did same as everybody else for a few years. Iran, Egypt, Saudi etc. Worked in the OLD SCUBA locker accross from the MATA mile for a while and got the SCUBA bug. Became a civilian instructor. Was 05B became 31V crossed trained 11B/11C. Became 18E/18F Was in the first class of 180As ever in June of 84. Returned to 5th as a W2 and worked at Mott Lake for 4 years teaching SOT, ODA 555. DLI Arabic, Desert Storm, Few good MTTs, projects etc. Ran 5th Group SCUBA locker for a few years before being dragged (claw marks are still in the pavement to prove it) to Group S3 where I ran the vault and all the projects that go along with it for a few years. Went to S5 to revamp and enhance the Group Language program and retired as the Group Senior Warrant 180A as a W4 in 2000.
Couldn't find a real job so I built a training complex with 5 ranges and 1700 Acres of hunting and training area below Ft Campbell called Rattlesnake Ridge Training Center. I now live the austire and broke life of a self employed instructor-contractor/janitor/tractor driver. I am a Class III manufacture and am building a collection of full auto and suppressors for sale and training. I am a part time Deputy on the Montgomery County Sheriff Department reserves learning the Law Enforcement side of life.
I am happy to be here and am very pleased to see the controll and descipline given to postings. I will try to follow the rules and welcome on the spot corrections when I don't. My posting may be infrequent as travel and training takes much of my time. I look forward to talking with you all.... Ed OUt.
