SGT Mike Cole, SSG Ralph Perrott, BG David P. Szczygiel and 1LT Paul D. Albertine, summer of 1992.
MG Szczygiel (ret) had these Christmas cards made up while he was the Commander of the 205th Support Group.
This picture was taken during my days as an Aide-de-Camp, sometime from Jan-91 to Jun-93. The kids from
top to bottom are P. David II, Jenna, Daniel and Dusty, plus my wife Darleen and myself.

Stationed at the U. S. Army Intelligence Center and School in Fort Huachuca, AZ in 1987 while attending Advanced Individual Training (AIT) as a 96B - Intelligence Analyst, I had two roomates, John Dumond and Jim "Kirk" Gant. For more on both of these men, please check out the links below:
Jim "Kirk" Gant, Paul D. Albertine and John Dummond. I was packed up and headed home on this morning.

Jim Gant inspecting the wax finish on our floor. If we could get outside, Jim would be running. If we were restricted
to the barracks, you'd see Jim doing this.

Jim's HumVee after the blast. The article made it sound so much better, but in Jim's words; "This is my vehicle after it hit
an IED on the night of 24 NOV 2006 during my last tour in Iraq. The explosion flipped it three time and it was on fire when
it landed. I was pinned inside and could not get out. I remember thinking, "So this is how it ends..." then I lost conciousness.
My Iraqis somehow pulled me out and took care of me. Although I want to go back to Afghanistan so badly, I owe the Iraqis
my life - and if they still need me, I feel obligated to go." from "One Tribe at a Time" by Major Jim Gant.

His paper "One Tribe at a Time" is available here.
I'm not sure whether this is from AIT or MIOBC. Marty, did you hand these out?

I always thought that this was Mitch, but it can't be, he has shoulder boards on!

find out who has been located and who we are still searching for.
"Populator" I've carried that nickname around ever since, more or less. Here it is emblazened on the side of
a rowboat at a boy scout camp. I liked to go out in that rowboat and splash the kids. Somehow I'd manage to get
them all wet, but I'd stay dry. One of the Dad's had his son in a canoe and wanted to get me wet. He leaned into
a sharp turn and capsized the canoe. If you look carefully to the left of my name, you'll see the silhouette of a
person falling out of a canoe. Never made Ace though.

We were at OCS over the Memorial Day Holiday, which consisted of "taking a knee" and having a moment of
silence at the "Bald Spot" on top of the mountain. Not much of a holiday, but one that I'll remember for life.
Lori might recognize this terrain, it's the Kansas National Guard facility at Fort Leavenworth. We were there for
a Warfighter Exercise and kicked butt!! I was the CI Officer for the Division Rear Area and we got 23 out of 26
Spetznaz teams inserted into our rear.
August 1997 I was in Washington, DC for my Medical Evaluation Boards. This was my last time on Active Duty
so I stopped in to see a friend.
Will's gravestone in Arlington.
As I was taking off out of Ronald Reagan International Airport, I looked down and I could pick this gravestone out
from the sky.
