I served with Subic in the Army. Actually, I went to pathfinder school with him. I do not say this lightly, he was embarrassment to the 82nd Airborne. He was wimpy and slimy.

We had a few troops from the elite 82nd Pathfinder Platoon and Subic from the division admin company. He was a pencil pusher as someone mentioned and unfortunately, he was not a Marine.

The Army sent him to Ft. Benning as he was getting ready for his next tour to serve in the US embassy in Iran. We speculated it was to give the pogue some badges that might give him more credibility.

He was treated like one of the foreign officers and given a free pass. He cried when he was on the rappel tower and sniveled his way to the bottom. He couldn’t keep up in the field. Soldiers from the other units taunted the rest of us from the 82nd. It was actually funny.

Just as a courtesy, I saw this thread pop up and read your reply. The original poster was a co-worker and friend of mine and unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago. Just didn’t want you to think he was ignoring you, that’s not the kind of guy he was.
