I was with 3/325 Airborne Battalion Combat Team out of Vicenza, Italy. We went in right after the war to Operation Provide Comfort.

We were mostly in the north. We jumped 2 times over there which was interesting. Our BN Commander might sound familiar to you guys, his name was John Abizaid. Do a search and see what you come up with.[;)]

I guess that would depend on what unit you are talking about[}:)] You wouldn't be comparing twigs to branches would you?[;)]

Greetings Match308. Looks like there are a few of us still around. I had a few friends in 5/18 INF as well. I was B company armorer and had 2 arms rooms after the storm. One on Ray Barracks, the other on the "Rock" at Kirchgoens. The Rock is now closed and everything was put at Ray Barracks now. By the looks of the 3AD web site alot of changes over the years.

EDIT:

OOPS I didn't see the Gulf War part...anyhow that's where I was.

Thanks for the welcome. As always it's great to hear guys stories from everywhere they were. I don't think there is any friendship as close as those we make when under duress doing our jobs a long, long way from home. At some point we step back and see there is another guy doing the same or different job...but still far away from home. And there lies the bond that transcends it all. We all been there, done that...just when, and sometimes how bad. Time to come home and tell of the adventures...over a beer or scotch...and move on, but never forget those we shared the adventures with. -best to all
