My scouts and mortar guys ran a program that was pretty dangerous   we had a silver star among the other valor decorations.  I enjoyed their intensity.

Gents,

   A BIG SALUTE to all those that rotated to through the NTC.

  My first Rotation was in March 1982 as Wavern A65 (A/4-37 AR, 194th AR BDE).  It started as a normal rotation which got extended to be a maneuver unit in Operation Gallant Eagle.

  I well remember being at 4 Corners and having to hold on to the Bustle Rack with both hands to keep the high winds from blowing us off the back deck during the Airborne Drop.

  Continued with OC Augmentation missions as an instructor in the Armor School 87 to 90.

  Last Rotation was June 2002 as Raider 06 (3/278 ACR) that was a great training event.

Bike Lake eh?  Good old Desert Radio.  I work with them very closely every day during rotation as the chief of Sundance Control for GREEN FLAG-West, and as Combat Airspace Manager for GFW.
