I was with the Nickle O Nasty 509th back in the 70s and then the 4/325th ABCT in the early 80s under Nuke'em Needham. I was there with Allen West, he was our Bn RSO.

Got my German and Israeli wings during those two tours and actually made my first Sport Jump in Vicenza in the old soccer stadium there ... out of a Huey no less. Logged five hop and pops that day, then rotated back to Bragg and was sent to HALO school and was in the last class before they were shut down after a couple guys smoked-in.

You were at Ederle when, 1/508 years?

I was there for the stand up of 2-503 and subsequent deployment to Iraq. (2001-2004).

I spent 24 years moving from assignment to assignment. I ended up with 17 years on jump status.
