...a young, skinny dude with my nametag spent a few years in SF - formative years, I might add. Learned a lot about the world and myself, and I like to think it made me a better man.
I found this site thru a serendipitous Google search - stopped to read a few threads, and when I saw the Roy Bishop avatar, I knew it was real. Thought I'd join up, perhaps find a few old friends and maybe a few new ones.
I graduated training group in '72 as an 05B and was assigned to the 10th at Ft. Devens, joined 221 there after a couple months of waiting for them to return from Reforger.. Spent most of my time learning, but was also a ski instructor starting in '74. Reported into Toelz New Year's Day '76, was assigned to ODA5 immediately, was doing ski training inside of a week..
I always said I'd still be there if they'd have let me, but multiple events (and the peanut king) had me ETSing in December '78. I've spent the years since in the 2-way radio world, plus raising a family and all the joys that brings.
I can't offer much current knowledge outside of the radio world, but I'm willing to offer what I can. Dumbutt opinions and old memories I have in good supply, of course..
