I was the platoon leader of a 4.2 mortar platoon in an armor battalion Germany.
IIRC, I was platoon leader for both Chaparral platoons in our composite Chaparral/Vulcan battery at Hahn AB. I was at Hahn until spring 79, when I was kicked up to Battalion HQ.
Can't recall when I transitioned over to a Vulcan platoon, though it was shortly thereafter. I had 3 AJ squad leaders and an E-5. Loved those guys, busted their tails for me.
We were the only platoon to pass during a battery level ARTEP. Our CO was a great staff officer, and should've stayed on staff.
