I can tell you are a vet. We used to have streamers on our company guidons at Ft Campbell celebrating 101 AWOL free days. The early 80s was a time of change in the military as Reagan brought it back, some soldiers didnt care for that and took off.

How about that? My BT platoon lost our AWOL Free streamer when some sorry SOB decided to run to a church in Columbus to seek asylum. I don’t think he would survived if he had come back. We did take top marksmanship and PT streamers so not all bad.

My old first shirt used to say that our unit (29th Light Infantry) had more battle streamers than the Marine Corps (he was technically right, but most of those came from Civil War).
