"Thinking about you on your birthday John Boyd."

Feb 11

What unit(s) did you serve in with the 2d Cavalry?: Troop I, 3/2 ACR - the Officers Club, as MOM'S escort to the motorpool, asst. bartender, cook, waiter, manager? This was prob. the best job on campus, but I asked to return to Trp I due to an assignment of a particular officer as the O club capo de capo capi that I figgered would land me in trubble.

Where were you stationed?: Amberg, Germany - the border, Grafenwhoer, Honenfels, e.t.c.

What MOS or job description did you have?: 63b20 mechanic
worked in the "O" club about a year, spent the rest shaggin parts in the motorpool, hiding from 1sg, drivin a m113 to the border or the bahnhof.
got cold in the winter in graf. / hohenfels

Tell us a little about your cav days.: Things were pretty crazy, we spent our time going to the border, going to graf or hohenfels for training. off duty we went to rock concerts - smoked our brains out and drank the cheapo wine that was suprisingly good

Tell us a little about you now.: worked for State of NM Gov. as a Veterans Employment Representative, had many varied assignments, was both challenged and rewarded. The best one thing? I had the ability to be of some help to a veteran every day. After College, I felt that I owed my Veteran Status something in return. That is what I found, and did. Now fatly retired and seeking entertainment?

Name a few buddies you served with that you would like to find.: Tom Tusing, John Mackey, Larry Schmulling, especially David Grippe, and /or anybody from I troop in those years, headquarters or 1st platoon, and anyone from HHT that may 'member me.

This Saber can be found at AtlantaCutlery.com Go to the "Search Bar" and type in U S Dragoons saber and it will pop up. It is not on their regular catalog pages. Cost is $149.95 + S&H

I have done business with them in the past and have found the quality of products to be very good.
