One year in Graf I remember getting wasted at the Stab & Jab and going back to the rear near tent city. When we woke up in the morning there were beer cans all over our position. Man was our 1st Sgt pissed. To top that the Sgt Maj stepped in crap out in the woods & made the 1st Sgts from A, B, C, Srv & Hdq Btry's stay behind and bury it. Needless to say when we got back to Giessen, our 1st Sgt had our asses til about 0200 doing a GI party, which continued for about a week later. Fun times!

HI HARTMAN,
ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU'RE GONNA FIND WEST, I SENT JAMES THE PICTURES I GOT FROM DAVE ZABECKI TODAY. DID I SEND THEM TO YOU OR DID YOU WANT THEM? THEY ARE GOOD PICTURES BUT SORTA DEPRESSING TO SEE WHAT RIVERS LOOKS LIKE NOW, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE I USED TO WADDLE MY FAT A## ACROSS THAT PARADE FIELD EVERY DAY PICKING UP MATCHES AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A JUNGLE, OH WELL, ANOTHER "PROGRESS" THING I GUESS. DROP ME AN EMAIL WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE

Does anyone know whatever became of our Chief of Smoke (SFC Roberson)?
I remember SFC Roberson...His favorite line, especially when he first arrived @ Rivers in 81 was " Men, the Mother F***er is here!
Scared the hell out of me!

I remember Carter King. We pulled motor-pool guard together a few times. He smoked Kool cigarettes & always drank Mountain Dew. I believe he was from Oklahoma.

I was in Rivers from Nov 85 to Nov 87 West if you are the guy I am thinking of you moved to HQs from C 2/92, Goodwin you remember Frace, Dean, Lopez, Deeg, Hessler those were good times. We moved to lego land because they were remodeling the old barracks.
