My heart was/is still as a rebellious Cavlaryman, alas I was commissioned as a 11A, (never understood walking into battle)...retired as a LTC w/ 30 yrs. & the old combat chassis has taken a beating!

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.

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( officialaishacbdd@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless
Aisha.
Welcome to Dragoon Base, Mark. Make yourself at home.
Most everybody is over in the Oldtimer's group suckin' up beers at the Dragoon Saloon. Stop by and say hello.
If you have any problems/questions or just want to BS, give me a holler.
Toujours Pret!
