Tell us a little about your cav days.
Hell of a first assignment for a snotty nosed 2nd LT. LTs were getting relieved fairly regularly, mostly due to the nuke mission. But I had a good BTRY CDR and several good NCOs to teach me and keep me pointed in the right direction. Greatest assignment I had over a 29 year career.

Retired off active duty in 2010. Been working as a GS civilian for over ten years. Lots of time in CENTCOM and SOCOM. Three tours in Afghanistan. Plan to no-kidding retire in 2024.

Hey there LT. Pretty sure you wont remember me but I do remember you. I saw your post mentioning CPT Hall. We were there at the same time. I was on the 82c survey crew for a bit and then went on to work at the squadron border ops. Went back a few years ago and put up some pics of subpost. Was some good times, nice to see folks I remember.

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
