Great looking family you have there. Don't forget the Model 15 and the 6" barreled 586. You are beyond the point of no return by the way. So revel in your illness. I've been infected for the past six years.
So looking at your avatar I'm assuming you were with the 10th Mountain at Ft. Drum. I remember well the frigid winters of the North Country and lovely Watertown. I was there from 1996-2000, 110th M.I. Battalion. I actually seperated from the Army at Ft. Drum. How about yourself? Career Army?
Wow, I was there the same time. Did you know Crawford Clark? I was in the 10th Band. Crawford was one of our guys that OJT's with 11oth MI. He sang the National Anthem at al of the COC ceremonies.
I actually bought a house in Watertown and planned on staying there but the Army had other plans. I stayed for another 5 years and got out here in VA.
Climb to Glory.
Oh and I have a 15.... it is the snubbie on top.
Scott
I didn't know him but I remember hearing his name and I remember his singing. I remember you guys also. I seem to recall a divison run in 98 or 99 and the band was there playing for us. Is my memory correct?
Wait a minute was Crawford a cop before joining the Army? If I'm remembering correctly then yes I knew him.
My wife and I actually considered staying in the area, but a death in the family occurred in 98 back here in Idaho. I got emergency leave and we flew over, but it made us realize that our friends and family are here in Idaho and Oregon.
I recieved a medical discharge/retirement from the Army (eight years active and six years in the Army Guard before that) and I now get a small disability pension from the VA.
Before Ft. Drum I was with the 1/4 Infantry (OPFOR) at the Combat Manuver Training Center at Hohenfels, Germany. I actually requested the 10th Mountain. I'd always wanted to wear that unit patch since I was a little kid and read about the division in Italy in WW 2. Just one of those things and I'm happy to say I was part of that division if only for a few years.
Oh and you do have a Model 15 snubbie. Good work. I've never been able to find one of those. Just the four inchers. But you still need a 6" 586. I say the 6" version because that was the first one S&W introduced in 1980 and it just seems to look right IMHO. I also own a 4" 686 which I like, but I get the idea that your all about the blued models.
