My late Father was there when they were federalized. He later volunteered for the 1st Special Service Force, served there and went back to the 36th after the Forces was disbanded.
Therefore, I am a son of a T-Patcher and took this as my FR id. I was the original sonofatpatcher, but was away for a bit and came back to find I could not get my old password. (Computer crash & change of e-mails and servers, etc...) I resigned up as sonofatpatcher2.
I sometime use
but I mostly use as my signature.
Here are some Links for the T-Patchers & 1SSF from google:
