Of course, with 11 captains instead of 1 captain and 10 lts., we should have been pretty good.

I remember reading in the old "Brown side out, Green side out" book that the author was XO of First Tank BN both as a first LT and then much later as a Major; he said it was much more pleasant the second time.

"I'd vote for Gore again over Bush jr. It was a no-brainer that if Junior was elected, we'd have Senior running things, and I bet he is. Surely no one thinks that Junior has enough brains to get all this rolling. Cheney and Powell are going to run the war -- to clean up the mess they made 12 years ago."---Whiskey Papa

I see Jim Robinson is still letting you hang around, eh?

Yeah, Major HG (Gene) Duncan wrote those books. He commanded my old alm matar, 2nd Tanks at one time.

If you are interested in these books you can find a link to his email and ordering instructions on this website. I've known Gene for a number of years now. Far as I know he's still alive and kickin down in MO. Write him, he loves hearing from Marines.
