Hey everyone. Figured I'd get around to introducing myself. I'm with A/3/20thSFG out of Ocala, Fl. Just hanging out in Raleigh, doing as much stuff with the guard as possible, waiting for the dust to settle in the contractor world before hopefully heading back downrange.

Heya
Heya, just jumped in here and am posting a question under the SF Questions page. It's the 18A one.
I am prior service with 5 years at 1/75 way back when (87-92), and am just here lurking around, and maybe running into some old friends.
Sua Sponte,
Kevin

Hello all. Brian Healy here joining this forum/site to do some research. I love what you guys have put together and intend on showing my grandfather, Maj Gen Michael D Healy, retired leader of 5thSF and assistant commander of 82nd back in his day (The Nam). Probably won't be posting too many questoins as I have found answers to any questions i've had within these pages. Thanks from me and my grandfather (Iron Mike - the Mike Force). The Reaper, nice pic of John Wayne in the GB (Col Kirby = Healy i believe). Take it easy.
