Me too, ets in '88 after not making a promotional gate. There was still a Patton (son) in the army then.

I take it from your name, you were in the division? I was in B/3/325. 2BDE 82 ABD.

Note to folks on this thread - the army currently measures combat strength in Combat Brigades. That is a throwback to a looong time ago - it was brigades (hence brigadier general), then divisions, then unit of action, then regiments, and now, brigades, again. I may have the order wrong, who can keep track. ;)

So juxtapose how many combat brigades we have, vice how many are in combat.
