U.S. Army 19 Echo '81-84
Fivepaknh, I left The Rock in Jan ’83. HHQ 3/33 The Pickle Was the loader for battalion CO’s tank and co Armorer. Should have stayed in Germany and gone to the Armorer school. Instead went to Ft. Carson. Gunner, TC. Rather be in Graf than stateside.
TheeBadOne, I never did get duty in the M1. They were always one step behind me. We were the last M60 class at Knox. Lyin’ recruiters. (Oh, yeah, you’ll train in the most modern tank in the world.) Dogs! Was on M60A3’s in Germany and M’s were coming in to the Rock when I left. Got to mess around with them at Graf a couple of times. Great machine!
Growing up as an Army brat with a full bird JAG judge for a dad was a LOT different than being IN the Army!
