Ogod.

I knew Custer as a 1LT.

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

THAT... does not bode well.

Having recently gone through the school-house, the Commandant doesn’t have a big role. I never met or heard MG Fast my entire five months at Ft. Huachuca.

Custer did not do too well as a Colonel either. Hiwever, his enemies are always after his scalp!

Not likely in my experience. If they are an ass hole when a 2LT or 1LT, you can bet your last can of C-Rations that he is a complete and utter ass hole to deal with now.

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the Ping..

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

OK, you guys have been pretty rough on Custer this whole thread. I worked for him at Red Clould when he was the 2ID duce. I was a specalist at the time and he was a LTC. While I was there no one in the entire G2 had anything bad to say about the guy and I still have a very favorable opinion of him.

A lot of these posts are mention knowing Custer as an LT. Keep in mind that much can change from butter bar to two stars. I would only ask that everyone keep an open mind and a wait and see attitude and give the guy half a chance.

Heh-I saw him in Qatar in 2004 (he was a one star then too). Not a name you’d forget.
