[QUOTE=I seem to recall a story where Cpt. Thomas took a crap on a couch at some dinner in Norway, in front of some not to pleased Norwegians . . . .Good to hear SGM Snider is doing well....[/QUOTE]
2/10th, 82-84. S2 and interim S3 . . .
...and laughed at by my Q course team medic ("George" - now retired in MA) and weapons SGT ("Kim" -transplanted from 2/75), both of whom ended up in B/2/10, for getting caught in the head shed after a great Q course experience with them. . . and just by luck back in touch with one of them, who is in touch with the other.
I recall an EDH at Stuttgart with a C/2/10 B Team just a year or so after the fatal STAR mission; SOTFE switched to sandbags.
Attended CSM Snider's retirement. I recall two follow-on CSMs for 2/10th, including one that was a national officer in the fledgling Ranger Ass'n and one who ended up medically retiring because of some heart condition in 84.
I was there for CPT General Thomas in his "exercise" that derailed him unfortunately, and if I recall correctly, it almost dragged in his Co SGM, but fortunately not.
Is HALO CPT Al on this net from those days?
Together with "Pete," the Bn Medical NCO, I recall spending a lot of time rucksacking around MCI Shirley. Someone I am still in touch with just caught up with Pete in the last month.
My last 10th Group function was the Nashua, NH hail and farewell before the move to Carson...and a chance for a reunion with my old Group Commander, and the "then" current Group Commander, who had been in the Q course with me. A great time had by all.
And now, under the soapbox thread, I am running for Congress in NH.
