Looking back after a few deployments, sure am glad they were good at what they did.

When did they move to San Antonio? That's were I had basic at in 1999. As for remembering my instructor name, no chance. We had 3 or 4 different ones. Could probably pick out of a line up still.

There sure were a lot of women on that base at that time.

Deerhunter51 trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 746 Tennessee	Originally Posted by KeithC We have about 70,000 Special Operations Forces at any given time lately, if you count both active and reserve members across all the branches. Not everyone who says they were in Special Forces is a liar. Keith True statement. Quite a few MOS’s even within the SOF community - all have important jobs but not all are actual operators either so even “I was in SF” usually requires a little follow up. Plenty of tabbed guys move on to other jobs outside of the teams so there is a fair number out there. Old or current operators can figure each other out in about a minute, half that to nail a poser.

We also went to Quantico for UXO training where we learned shafting. When were you there? I graduated from there in April 1972, then went back as an instructor from 83 - 87.

I think in the 60’s that was the only place for Army Morse code training or at least for ASA members. ASA was dissolved about 1976 and incorporated in the regular Army military intelligence. I was an oxymoron! Gary J
