STANDS ALONE!!- Hello Everyone

Post by CURRAHEE CHRIS » Wed Apr 23, 2008 5:34 pm

Hello everyone:

Just wanted to take a moment and say hello. A friend from another forum clued me in to this forum. It is a really neat place to see some 4" figures. Here are some pictures I recently took of mine. Hope you all enjoy:

HOOAH Brother- 1/506 91-92 GREAVES- Though I wasn't Ranger Q'd. I was never that high speed- congratulations to you on such a fantastic achievement. My uncle was an instructor at the Ranger school and spent a lot of time with the Ranger Bats.

One of the things that attracted me to this forum is the number of former/current military guys. I'm on another toy soldier forum and they get a little lost sometimes :lol:

Man Alive- yeah, Johnny brings back a LOT of memories!!

I was in HHC, rotated between maintenance and scouts. This is really incredible that we may have humped the same trails!! Who would've thought??

Do you remember SMAJ Fitzpatrick?? :P

I almost got thrown offstage at the Currahee Club when some Grunt buddies of mine from C Company sent me up to karaoke "Oh Mickey!!" :P :P

Yeah, I remember where B company was- I was there from Jan 91- Jan 92. I went to TS in 91 though I recall they cancelled it in 92, so perhaps you were with me in 91 or went in 93??

SMAJ Fitzpatrick- threw an MRE at me!! True story- he was absolutely elite- I love listening to guys talk about how people get older and they get into worse physical condition and I think of him- the guy just rocked. When I went through my final out he shook my hand and said all I needed to do was ask and he'd kick down doors to help me out. He was 100% all the way. I went to and ADA unit after Currahee country and realized the difference between infantry units and the rest of the army :))

He became the Division SMaj in 2000

I am trying to recall any of the B Co guys I knew- i think Brian Nou may have been in your company????? not sure.

Anyway, it's great catching another Currahee trooper.
