Let me be more specific. I loved Germany, Panama and Thailand. I even liked Vietnam better than Bragg.
If I picked where I got the best and mos meaningful training it would be the 10th in Bad Toelz.
Let me quailfy even further. If in the beginning the 7th had gone to Germany and the 10th stayed at Bragg -- with everything being equal my opinions would probably be juxta positioned. IMO it is the location and mission not the number or color of the flash.
Apology accepted

While it is not that long ago some of the younder guys might not know. There are a bunch of guys who served in the 5th Group and then the 3rd Group but really only served in the same battalion.
5th Group had all three battalions at Ft Bragg. When the Group HQ and the first two battalions moved to Ft Campbell the 3rd battalion stayed behind. The Army stood down the battalion at Bragg, stood up it's replacement at Ft Campbell and then renamed the Bragg battalion as 1st Battalion, 3rd Group. So those guys served in both groups but really in the same battalion.
The orders and paperwork shuffle were a little more confused but the above is the condensed version.
I actually noticed we STILL have things marked with 3/5th SFG.
Of course I am SURE it all came from BEFORE the change over...we keep it next to all the stuff that is labled 7th SFG...that is until we can scratch the markings off.
What apology? That was a qualification and explaination.
