Tell us a little about your cav days.: I got to the Rock Msgt Householder was the Motor Sgt of C Troop. I fell in to the shop foreman slot. As close as I can remember Every time we went to the boarder I went to Camp Gates most of the time. There was SP5 Cain, Walter Stoneking (we inherited from the line paltoons), SP4 Grand Pa (can't remember the name)every time we made him E5 eighter Sgt or SP5 the next he'd get busted just wanted to do his 20 (also barrowed from the line, SP4 Paul mos qualified retriever operator, SP4 Kent an accually trained mechanic, I think I finally got Morin permoted to SP4 but aint sure (tool room man) also barrowed, SP4 Haydon Parts Clerk, Can't seem to remember the tamms clerks name, (I know need my rear kicked). Cpt (slide rule) Malino Trp Commander, Cpt EDmond Trp Commander (good man also from Wyoming) Ran me up to Squadron however for a suspended bust, Can't seem to remember the 1st shirts name though (know I'm gonna hear about that). Oh well the best story I have is the time Stoney got into a fight with a german. The german it seems touched Carol inappropertly.
I wound up at the scene. The MP's wouldn't give me any information. It wound up with me being arrested for drunk and disorderly. Along with the maintenace section that was on the scene. Carol want to charge the MP's with police brutality. As I told the
Sqt Comander the only brutal act was who ever triped me into the hood of the sedan. When I came up they handled the only way the could.
