Hey, long retired. OPSEC now comes naturally, since I forget most of what I knew. I'll wander through the swamp of this site until I get used to it.cco275 wrote:rgrokelley wrote:Howdy,

When were you in C co. 3/75?? I took over 1 st Plt from Steve Rondeau in '85 (I think), and left for the good life of the 4th RTB in '87.

I wasn't in C 3/75 long. From about February 1986 to June 1986. I heard of a new Airborne Ranger LRRP unit that was going to start up in Germany, so I jumped on that. Ha, ha, joke was on us. We never did get Airborne status in F Company, 51st LRSU while I was in Germany. We did do permissive jumps with the different nations there.chkray wrote:When were you in C co. 3/75??

The 1SG in C 3/75 at that time was Patrick Hurley, who was killed in Desert Storm while with CAG. I think 1SG Hurley's dad climbed Point Du Hoc with the Rangers in WWII.

Yep, I remember Hurley. He was a pretty good 1SG, but his primary reason for coming to 3rd Bat. was to punch his Line time ticket just long enough to meet requirements, and then head back up to the Boys in Bragg. I was real sorry to hear about what happened to him.
Anyway, when Hurley was 1SG, I think Danny W. Davis was the Company Commander. He was a real fine C.O. - even if he was from Texas.

Hell I actually did just that a few times.
