After so many years, I feel it is safe to publish the photo of my graduating SFOC A-Team. This was graduation to "full flash" December 17, 1975.

The TAC officer at upper left is MAJ Budge Williams. Yes, THAT Budge Williams.
I have smeared the faces of the three allied officers in the photo,
I have been informed one is a high ranking member of his country's special operations command; and another may be in deep hiding following the fall of the Shah of Iran (if he was not killed during the revolution).
Our two allied officers from Zaire are not in the photograph. They had to depart immediately after the graduation, literally walk off the stage and get in a bus to the airport. I don't know if that was just bad timing or had more political significance.
Three questions for the Reaper and others at Bragg:
1 - Are allied officers/soldiers still attending the SFOC/Q Courses? We had 18 officers from Canada/Malaysia/Indonesia/Australia/Afghanistan
Iran/Signapore/Zaire/Malasia, of a total class of 50.
2 - [Trivia] Where the photo was taken?
3 - [More trivia] Who is that handsome young lieutenant front row, far right?
