During the Reagan years I almost reenlisted in the Army after having been out for years but decided to enlist in a National Guard Ranger unit instead, good times.

My father was a charter member of the North Dakota Air National Guard sometime about 1947 or 1948. They were nicked named the Happy Hooligans.

Some time in the early 1990’s the Happy Hooligans competed in the Willliam Tell competition with other air guard units, units from the regular air force and several units from Canada. The Happy Hooligans came in first, The Green Mountain Boys from Vermont came in second, a unit from Canada came in third and a regular air force unit came in fourth.

The USAF beaten by guard units and the Canadians. Not good not good at all.
