Yep, OBC 1983, OAC 1987, stationed and ets 1992-1993. So a little ahead of you. The ones that seem to be strap hangers to the stars seem to be the biggest pains when it really came to working thing.

[Old Sarge]

Think it’s a lateral staff job to hide her.

In the past, the only place for CG Huachuca to go was DCSINT and a third star. That was how it was with Uncle Sidney, Uncle Julius, and I think also Aunt Claudia.

What they're planning on with Aunt Barbara is, and I agree with SandRat, is a lateral to hide her.

[Old Sarge]

You were one year-group ahead of me then, bro.

[Thane_Banquo]

Any relation to the guy who had that nasty run in with the Indians?

[MadJack]

He was calling himself “the lion of the DMZ” at Camp Casey in 1981 while we were in 102nd MI.

[Old Sarge]

That’s our lad. He didn;t change when I knew him - I doubt he’s any different now.

[leftee]

Probably his last stand!!!

[ExSoldier]

Unless he has undergone a total personality transplant, look for bad things coming out of the schoolhouse.

Same old story. I worked for former Clinton Drug Czar and retired General Barry McCaffrey when he was but a lowly light colonel and a Division G3. He ruined careers just because he could. It was sport for him in the 1980s. When he got command of the 3rd Brigade, he got worse. I can only imagine him as the Div Cdr for the 24th ID during Desert Storm. But he got along fine with the Clinton's. Hmmmmm.

This Custer guy. Any distant relation to George Armstrong Custer? That would fit perfectly. THAT Custer was a meglomaniac for sure. Terrible tactician as the results of Little Big Horn prove.

[Old Sarge]

The running joke was, he’s direct descent or somethign to that effect. Couldn’t confirm it, though.

[HiJinx]

Think it’s a lateral staff job to hide her.

Beats me. I know my boss went from here to Fortress Monroe, but he was LTC at that time. Yes, it's a staff position, but lateral? Dunno...

[HiJinx]

Thank you for your service.

A 96B/97E couple from Ft. Wainwright via Iraq just moved in next door to me.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

I bet I know them. E-7s?

[HiJinx]

I believe so.

Rank didn’t come up, but it shows.

[BIGLOOK]

Never been to Huachuca, only know of it from you Army guys. At the time I was in, Good Buddy AFB or Meade were the joint services training schools, then off to on the job, real world hard lessons.

Goodfellow was pretty cool, middle of nowhere, Air Force and goat ropers. Ft Meade was a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to work there. One other place was JSPC at Torii Station in Okinawa.

I'd think that having a CO named Custer would give any of you the willies.

[Old Sarge]

Biggs, our boy Custer LOVED his tour at Meade.

[HiJinx]

I'd think that having a CO named Custer would give any of you the willies.

It's going to be an interesting year or two...I'm sure it'll have an effect on the civilian workforce as well...

[Ax]

I assume the “Aunt Claudia” to whom we are referring here is LTG Claudia Kennedy. Her name had been bandied about as being the next DIRNSA. Fortunately, that scenario never materialized. I went to school at Goodfellow in 1960 and spent the next 37 years in the business.

[ASA Vet]

Thanks for the Ping..

I considered pinging the entire MI list, but it looks like lots of us already found the thread.

[Keith in Iowa]

>>>Think it’s a lateral staff job to hide her.

Give her something to do until she retires...that’s what a source tells me...

[Old Sarge]

Right in one. The old MI community always referred to the top spook as “Aunt” or “Uncle”.

Uncle Sidney (LTG Weinstein) had some baggage during his stay - his commissioned daughter was caught in bed with an enlisted member of the same sex, and was told privately to resign. uncle Sidney never quite recovered from that one.

You obviously, know about Aunt Claudia.
