Fied Artillery: “The King of Battle”

Greetings and salutations to all my “Redleg” colleagues.

FIST/AO/SWO/FDC/XO/BC/S2

155SP / 8”

My screen name “Outrance” - to the utmost- The motto of the 112th Field Artillery Regiment.

During the Cold War we trained to standard and stood on America’s wall toe to toe, and eyeball to eyeball with “Ivan”.

“Ivan” blinked.

We never fired a shot in anger but we were the big nasty dog on the other side of the wall that kept the barbarians at bay.
