Re: Picture of yourself...
5/502 Infantry, I was there from 86-89.
Our Battalion commander called it a 101st detachment, still don't know what that means. They sent me to Bravo 5/502 for 1 and a half years then I went to CSC 5/502 for the rest. Berlin, I ended up doing wall patrol and train on urban warfare. No more jumps, sucks, but that is where I bought my Silver Jubilee so that's not so bad. On jump week in I did an improper plf on my 5th qualifying jump and broke 2 bones in my ankle. It was the only one we did at night with full ruck. It happened so fast. I passed because I was "technically" able to maneuver and fire my weapon so I got my wings but they did not want me to jump again. They sent me to Bravo 5/502 for 1 and a half years then I went to CSC 5/502 for the rest of my time which was pretty cool. I did love it, almost re-enlisted but thought there might be other things I wanted to do before it was too late. My before and after pics were in Ft. Benning when I thought I was on my way to an airborne unit. I regret not having more pictures from those days. I thought the leg cast would be an appropriate response for a military nurse. Can't resist, here is another: Even in Berlin I managed to be in a band and I don't know how it happened but not for very long though, maybe 6 months or so whenever we weren't in the field or doing inspection or whatever. There's my Goldtop "Delux" as Adwex calles it. And on the right I'm wearing my my PT sweats with the Eagle talon playing a borrowed Ibanez. For some reason we could never look like rock stars, must be the haircut, not sure though. ![]()

Re: Picture of yourself...
I'll have to see if I can come up with any pics from back then to scan in and post. I think my parents actually have most of them. I was mostly into playing guitar with my band and drinking back then. didn't focus on taking pictures...but I should have
![]() I ended up getting in with a pretty cool band (all civilians) and we played some good gigs outside of Ft Campbell and around the Nashville area. But...like you...never could look like a rock star....definately the haircut. Funny thing is, I had so much hair when I showed up to Benning in '87 that the barber called me Jesus. They took care of the rockstar look real quick. |

Re: Picture of yourself...
Found an old ripped pic from my first gig ever with my "blasphemous rig". I'm on the left with the Explorer, 100 watt Super Lead w/ Orange 4X12.
