    Default Introduction - ABN Bearcat

    Hello, I'm Don and I am a high speed Paratrooper and stumbled upon this place through a Google search. I served from August 1995 - November 2005, starting with OSUT/basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. I was assigned to A-4-10 and graduated in October 1995. I went through AIT at Fort Gordan, GA and graduated in October 1996. My first duty station was at Fort Bragg, NC. I was initially assigned to 514th Signal Co. I went to Airborne School. I was on jump status. I was then assigned to D Co 1110th Signal Battalion. I attended Air Assault school at Fort Bragg. 10th Mountain Division sent a contingent of instructors to conduct the course. After my time on active duty I joined the Ohio Army National Guard and reclassified to Combat Engineer. In 2003 my National Guard unit was mobilized in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I spent a year in the desert. I am very proud of my service and I am glad to be a member of this forum.

    AIRBORNE!

     Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother, my sisters, and my brothers. Lo, there do I see the line of my people, Back to the beginning! Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla! Where the brave may live forever!

    Thanks Ops NCO. As a Signal guy it is important that I am able to communicate effectively.

    Very nice intro, and, although you did not have the good sense to join the only proper branch of the US Army--that being the field artillery--welcome to the AO!
