Del Slaugh RIP

My most favorite commo man, Del Slaugh, just passed unexpectedly.

You've heard the proverbial story of making commo on a barbed wire fence. While on a weekend drill, we had to make commo checks w battalion. Del knew this three-wire fence was on a perfect azimuth with this particular base station. We were set up and waiting for the start time. We're all bullshiting, ahem, pulling security... and Del was telling us this great war story. While in the middle of the story, he starts sending groups on his speed key and writing groups on the pad - without a freaking break in the war story! I guess time in Nam as an intercept operator was good experience.

He was one of my best mentors as a young DetCmdr and mourn his passing.


Info to follow.
