I have to tell you Larry, just walking around your holding yard was more impressive than what we walked through at Benning. A true pleasure meeting everyone there.

I'm very proud to be part of the CAMO Crew mkcoen.:grin:

If we could just get someone to donate 90 million dollars (like the Infantry Museum raised) we could do some serious MV stuff!!:drool::drool::drool::drool::jumpin:

The Old Bear and me have our friendly rivalry but I can say that I have met very few people that are as commited to honoring veterans and their families as him and the CAMO crew.

PB will also go above and beyond to help a soldier if he is down. But that is what us old NCO's live for....taking care of our soldiers.

I miss my soldiers every day and I'm sure PB does too.

I was at Knox in '98 (D co 2/81 AR, 1st ATB) I remember our drills taking us on a self-propelled tour of the Armor Museum (that would be a long PT run for you REMF's out there) I always loved armor. Too bad it's all moving to the home of the crunchies, but if things stayed the same, we wouldn't advance.

I meant to cover the $90 million for the museum. I'm a little short at the moment but I'm sure when the lotto check clears I can handle most of that. Course I need to buy a lotto ticket first. I always forget that part.

WOW!!!
I'm loving the pics.
I was at Knox in 81 for AIT 63Y/N Light Track & wheel vehicle mech.
Came back in 86 for AOB-86-C "The Duke was CAV RAMBO wished he was" class motto.
I have fond memories of Yano Beach range, Misery & Agony hills.
We started hearing about "Center of Excellence" late 90's didnt realize there was an ulterior motive.
Are they moving the Patton Musuem or just the BIG Vehicles?
Are the M-60's still at the Front Gate at Knox?

You get any pictures of Snoopy? M-578 I think???
