I was Bravo Co., 8th Engineers, 1st Cav.
Posted there out of AIT and stayed in the same platoon for 3 1/2 years 'til I ETSed.
I was prior service Navy and, when I came back in the service, it was into the Army. Didn’t have to go back through Basic and Charlie Company was an OJT-AIT unit. Everyone was prior-service .. one service or another .. and we received our 11B MOS at the end of the training. I stayed in Charlie Company, 2/12, until I made E-5 (three years) and then changed my MOS to become a court reporter/stenographer. I did that for 17 years and retired as an E-7. Spent all of my Army time .. except for three one-year tours to Korea and one three-year tour to Mannheim, Germany .. at Fort Hood .. 15 years.
