Just curious, since your avatar has an Airborne Tab. Thanks for serving and welcome to the site.

Ranger EarthPig,

The CORPS ARTY wears the same patch as the rest of the 18th ABN CORPS. When it was 18th FA BDE, it was a cannon with wings, derisively known as the "Flying Dildo".

BlueDragonBoy:

What's your MOS? I used to stomp around your AO back in my day.

That's what I thought. That's why I asked him about his jump status. Thanks.

When did 18th FA BDE change patches? Did they reflag under a new structure? I thought 18th Aviation was the flying dildos?

Oh yeah, by the way, welcome LEG.

Cal,

As far as I know, HHB and what used to be my unit were the only ones that changed patches from the flying cannon thing to the gaggin' dragon. My unit also got downsized at the same time in 1987.

I really have no clue what the brigade is wearing now. Its been 17 years, and furling our colors was one of the low points. :(
