Tim,
I was in HHC with Sigel, Jackovich, Huntington and those others. I think I know who you're talking about going through RIP, but I can't rememeber his name to save my life, but I do remember that he was heavy into Martial Arts and watching him do the splits between two chairs as part of his stretching excersizes...OUCH!
Sigel was my Ranger buddy at RIP-we were in the same battalion in Korea, but different companies. I had a poster from Korea, I think for Crown Beer, that Sigel managed to talk me into selling him.....I wish I had it now.
Rakkasan!

Vietnam era veteran
Sergeant
Hell, it was too long ago to remember my MOS's:
2-1/2 years as an aircraft engine mechanic on propeller-driven planes (Yeah, we used to have those). 1-1/2 years as a medic. After boot, spent my whole tour at Peterson Field, Colorado. It was tough to take. Everyone else in my boot camp Flight went to Thailand or Vietnam.
My dad's US Army, Staff Sergeant, decorated at the Battle of the Bulge. Very proud of him.
My son's a USMC Sergeant stationed at LeJuene, winding up his second tour. His other grandfather was also a leatherneck.
