Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: John Tompkins Message: I was in B Co from 1991-1995. My fist Co Cmdr & 1sg was JD McKirby & John Edmund's. Jack Donovan & Luis Palacious were Bn Cmdr/Csm. John Edmund's became Csm. Kevin Connell then became my 1sg. Had the above mentioned hereos plus guys like All Brazier, Tony Nunley, Joe Nowack in A Co w/me. Mike Ramsey & Tom Wilburn were in B Co then.I have since forgotten some of the other great NCO's & officer's who were their then. (Sorry if I left any of you other great guys out) I left in 1995 just as the desert phase was closing. Went on to take a 1sg job with the 3/327 in Fort Campbell. Returned to RTB in 1998. Worked with Bobby idea!? & Csm's Joe Nethkin & Mike Kelso. Was assigned 4th RTB's HHC 1sg until knee surgery took me off jump status. Worked a pouge job for another year until Gen Shinsecki pissed me off w/the beret fiasco. Retie 41 days before 9-11. Am living mostly off the grid (except this android phone) in the WVA mountains. Have a place on easily defendable terrain with a nearby water source & off any major lines of drift. Could someone update me about this girly thing about going to Ranger Training? What, when & certainly whose fuc*#+# up idea ? RLTW |
