So after 25 years removed from reactivation of the 3rd BN I'm back to search for my fellow buddies. My name is Henry or Hank or Rico, RGR Class 6-85, Grad date April 23, 1985. FIST platoon (MOS:13B, 13F), HHC, 3/75th. Not everyone in rangers is infantry you know. My squad supported A company at that time. I served w/82 ABN, B 2/321FA from 82-84 & 3/75 from 84-86. We were the plank-holders for the BN. (I also served in Iraq 2004-2005, Sadr City (FOB Ironhorse with 20th EN BN, 1st BCT, 1st CAV) but that's another story for another day.) I attended the Ranger Rendezvous Aug 2 - Aug 9 with my 9 y/o son and we had a great time. Too much beer, too much food, too little exercise. The old place sure changed from the Harmony Church days! Met M. McDermott (sp?) fellow ranger and his son - super guys.

Welcome. Did you get your son any lap dances down on Victory Dr.? Glad to hear you are starting him off early. You'll have to see if you can get him in 1st Batt when he gets old enough.

Glad you found us here, and glad you were able to make it for Rendezvous. Would have liked to have spent more time talking with you but was running the 2nd half of that week.
This site is a great way to get reconnected, and you'll find there are linkups in your AO.
