Re: MH to former SGT Kyle White
In October 2001 I reported to Vicenza and became a part of the reactivation of the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry (ABN). I can say that we (the senior leaders) built that Battalion from the ground up and we trained the same way. We never could have imagined how absolutely lethal that Battalion would become. I am proud to be a Sky Soldier!

Re: MH to former SGT Kyle White
I got to Vicenza in January '01 and was assigned to 1/508. When they first reactivated 2/503 they were all assed up. At one point it seemed like the entire BN was on extra duty (your BN area was gorgeous, though). It was good to see them get quality leaders and watch the transformation.Silverback wrote:In October 2001 I reported to Vicenza and became a part of the reactivation of the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry (ABN).

Well earned, Sky Soldier . . .Well earned!
I also was on orders to go to the 173rd in Viet Nam. I was going through their jungle school, when I volunteered for the Rangers.
