I’m an 11B3V who will be relocating to the Mountainview, CA area in early 2007. I started reading the posts on this site to learn more about reserve units in the area. After spending some time here, I find myself in the company of intelligent and experienced men who are willing to share some of what they know with those of us seeking to learn.
Gentlemen, thank you for this board and thanks for having me.

Introduction

Hello Gentlemen,

I have been a long time lurker on many forums, and am finally going to post my intro. I hope I am doing this right. I am prior service Army. I was assigned to 3/75 Rngs, 29th Inf. and my last year in the Army was with the 2ID LRSD. After ETSing I joined the NC Nat'l Guard, until I graduated from ECU. I have been out of the loop since 2000 and am kicking around the idea of getting back into the game. I am very impressed with the professionalism and demeanor on this site. If you follow the rules, you can learn a great deal of information not found anywhere else.

Good afternoon Gentlemen.

I'm new to the site and am impressed by the professionalism. I have more time in the community than some, and far, far less than others whom I have a wealth of respect for. I hope to be some value added to future threads.
Good day.

Welcome aboard!

It's about time a Rigger joined! (I was worried it might be another 7th Gp guy )

Intro

Joined May 22, 1979. Watched too may John Wayne movies and far too many Walter Croncike evening broadcasts about Vietnam detailing battles and American lives lost while growing up and joined as soon as I could at 17 YO., directly into SF. Basic training at Fort Benning, AIT Benning & Gordan

USAIMA (JFK) - 1980 - 1982 Graduated SFQC Class 1-81

1-10th SFG(A) 1982 - 1985. Bad Tolz, Germany - Met some legends and great friends, SGM Brock, CSM Don Purdy, CSM Mike Kelso, CSM Charlie Raper, (RIP) SFC Eloy Rodriguez and my roomy, partner in crime 1SG Sean Kelly. KIA 1st marriage.

4th & 7th RTB 1985-1988. Fort Benning & Dugway Proving Grounds, UT.

3-5th SFG(A) 1988 - 1991. Fort Campbell, KY. Tired of MTTs to ungrateful third world nations, just to see millions of US dollars siphoned off into corrupt political officials pockets. Applied for flight school as a SFC.

Flight School – 1991

1-223rd Avn Regt. 1992 – 1995. Fort Rucker, AL

Combat Maneuver Training Center, 7th Army 1995 – 1998. Hohenfels Germany

498th Medical Company (Air Ambulance) 1998-2001. Fort Benning, GA

DOT Aviation 2001-2004. Fort Benning, GA

1-52nd Avn Regt 2004-2005. (K-16) South Korea.

4-6 Air Cavalry Squadron 2004- Present. Fort Lewis, WA

Now I am just an old cantankerous CW4 looking to retire in 20 months and leave this stuff to the young guys, because my back kills me and I can no longer do it myself! There must be life after the Army, I just have to figure it out.

RLTW!

Welcome aboard TOG!! We've got a few resident Rotorheads in here.

Possibly some SFQC classmates as well!?!?!

Take care.

Still want to quit?
