Sittre,  I remember you.  I was there from 83 to 85.  Ssgt Wilson, Davila, Renault, Bishop to name a few.  My only job was rehab and I ran the shake out tower from day one.  I spent a lot of time with morale sport running track, basketball and football.  Richard Coffey was a friend of mine who ended up go to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a few years.

Thomas Skonecki had a great time in Vicenza. Especially Venice and Lido. Enjoyed the nice sunny day's when we jump in West Germany, than it would rain. Want to say Hi to my buddy Ruben Ruiz, had some great time's together. And to all the people I knew. Thanks SGT Jackson for Belgium jump exchange school. PS. Old News Did you know SFC Pierce is married to actress Patty Duke. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY.

Hey I was there I transferred from Mainz HQ 1973 to Vicenza and into B Company 3rd platoon. I moved up to Bosco into CSC HQ. Well I left the service 11/74. Still suffering from a jump injury Mae West from a Vicenza (Juliet) jump, well go figure more common than not back in those days. Have not connected with anyone over the years.
