Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Steve Hawk Message: Bill After Hog Brown I believe the next 1st Plt Ldr was Ray Dountz, After that was Johnny Nations. We went for a long time without a Plt Ldr and SFC Jim Shoape filled in and I played Plt Sgt. Ross, do you still have that picture of me with the original Desert Phase Sign. I believe it said Desert Phase at the top and Mountain Ranger Camp at the bottom, with a tab in the middle flanked by master wings and a scorpion. Ross save me a copy!! Rangers Lead the Way STeve |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Al Parten Message: Okay I give. Although when I was assigned to the Rangers, my address was, A Co. 1st Bn ( RANGER ) 75th INF. BTW Steve Hawk was woking at Sabre Hall when I went through R.I.P.. I think it was hurricane George that flooded Sabre Hall, Lamica tried to drown all of us trying to repair the Obstacle Course down behind that water tower at the end of the airfield.Good times had by all. Mike Sanders was one of my roomates at RIP, he died on a jump at HAAF. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Doug and I were at the NCO Club one night many years ago. The beer was cold and it was flowing. One thing led to another and Doug began to telling stories of his time in Viet Nam. He didn't talk about near misses or fire fights or anything like that. It seems that the only thing Doug remembers is his R&Rs in Saigon. Well, let me tell you,...his stories even made this Ranger "blush". |
