No, there were two of them.
I once met the mail clerk. He admitted that he never left 25 Div HQ's base the entire year.

I guess that makes three now that I think of it. I was doing a funeral in Wusta, MA, or somewhere around there. standing in front of the funeral home during the service a guy walks up to me asking about what we were there for and my uniform. turned out he was a telephone line guy in the 9th ID.
