Spring and Summer of '73 we had night classes with occassion field exercises.
As age has a way of helping the memory fade, that's the best I remember it.
Anyone else there with me???

I was there for part of it. COL Geraci brought me over to replace his S-2. I parked in the 441st until the slot was cleared. My section and I taught the rope, climbing, ravine crossing part of the course, since I inherited quite a few with ranger tabs and had worked in Dahlonega for the COL during a previous assignment.
I spent some time with one of the teams at the northern end of the island as well. Wound up with zero chance to complete the course when a "situation" popped up and I had to join up with some of our guys off island.
I have some small pictures of the ravine we trained in, if the ex didn't toss them. They're probably too small for you to recognize faces. Still, if you want to pm me your email address I'll send them within the next week or so.
Good to hear from another FOG.
