I served with Fox Troop 2/2 ACR from Sept 86 till Nov 87. Still think about those border patrols up at Hof, Blankenstein, Holle, the textile factory in the East, and many other places. Being 11C in a tanker company only left us with border patrol or guard duty on the ammo dump in Bamberg. Wouldn’t have had it any other way!!! They were good times and appreciate all of you that have served. Toujours Pret!!! Always Ready!!!

Hey Dewey,
Thanks for your service in the 2d Cav and continued support.

There are quite a few of us old border rats (over 1000) holed up at Dragoon Base. Stop by and join us. Maybe your buddy will show up too.

Hope to see you there soon. http://dragoonbase.ning.com/

If there is going to be a reunion in DC, could it be posted so everyone knows when and where in DC? Thanks, those were definately some of the best times in my life with some of the absolutely best people. My Platoon Sgt was named Regan, does anyone remember him? I would of followed him to hell and back! A great leader indeed!

Hello, DRAGOONS. I served with the 3rd. Sqdn. in Amberg, Germany from Jan. 68 to thru July 1969. Pond Barracks was an old WW II Wermmacht Kassern that still had the Eagle on the front gate. Of course das Hakencreuz was chiseled off. I was in HQ Trp. and worked in the Personnel office on the first floor of the I Trp. bldg. Since I was a paper pusher the only exciting thing that happened during my tour was wh1en one of our S.P. 155′s BLEW UP near the motor pool. In the Cold War all of our tracks carried full combat loads at ALL times. That was a sight to see ! Any COLD WARRIORS OUT THERE ? ? I left the 2nd ACR as a Spec. 5. I would love to know what happened to my old C.O. . Ltc. Robert C. Osborn from California. Any info would would be appreciated.
