Just trying to vet him a little.

Depends when the lad was assigned to the 12th. When I was its advisor/S3 they were oriented to the Pacific. The HQs and one company was located in Arlington Heights and there was a company located at Selfridge AFB in Michigan. There was also a Bn in Oklahoma City and in Little Rock with units scattered throughout the SW and West Coast. The Third Bn was sort of like a bastard step child because it came under another whole set of folks out there in California. It was capstoned while I was there to the 1st SFG, but had been capstoned to the 7th at one time. Don't know what happened with its area of orientation after 84 time frame.
