Yeah, Ike Jackson is down at Benning now, retired but doing well and doing some contract work. He's a Facebook friend - he and I played for the Geronimo together, the football team.  And someone else mentioned Dave Neeley - good guy.  He is out in Taluride, CO last time I spoke with him. He had to do some local time when he ETS'd for setting off arty simulators in downtown Palluride or Durango or somewhere during leave.  Helluva a snow skier though and a good guy.

I think it would help if when one does come across this website,if they would leave any contact info so we can keep in touch by other means ie. phone# email,fb,tweeter etc there is a facebook page for the 1st 509th (ABCT) Vicenza,Italy and there are many old 09er"s on fb.I have found Caudle,Loveless,Hutchings,Andrews,Charlie Brown,Cameron Materson, and many more Ranger Olowin, This web page has been a great place to find  people but is very limited as compaired to fb.

I'm still lookin for sgt ken Balue,sgt Basaia,sgt bufkin,sgt mashack,sgt kwan,saywer,kincaid,Dan ruby,Jim Brophy,Tony Frey,

Steve Durst,sgt Monkhouse,Parker,Britt,all these guys would have been there in the 80's My #1-740-345-5122 I'm on fb

I would love to know if these guys are still alive.    Stygie



I was there between 80-83 I knew alot of these guys
Dog Bat.

My section Chief was Carlson, which later I was the RTO for the FDC

Went to the Alipini training and trained the Berlin Brigade in cold weather survival my last year there.

Ruions (Jawbreaker), Carl Braswell, Wilkinson, Brian Dorman, Locey Puke, Clawson (Rabbit)

Capt Hood, CSM Garcia (Hey Sweetheart where’s your section chief)
Best time of my Army Career (Still trying to get my hands on a unit coin)
I have some pictures also if anyone is interested, but only a few.

Went to FT. Hood 2nd AD ( 3/3rd FA) after leaving the 09, some of the last 09ers before she went regimental as 4/325th 82nd

I saw Monkhouse and Maynerd Culip, Otiz and Kwan and a few others in 1985 at FT.Sill. I was there for 13M (MLRS). Monkhouse was a DS, Culip was in Training Cadre so was Ortiz and Kwan if I remember right.
Culip almost got us in a few down town fights with the locals (YeeHaw) and the cops.. Damn Maynerd..!! LOL..
Fielded the fist MLRS unit in Europe 1/78th FA MLRS. Lost touch with everyone would love to hear from any of them. just drop me a line  tboatright2@cfl.rr.com......  Boatright, Tony D.
