Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Vince and Becky Kucala, Neil and Gina Norris, Steve and Jeri Harris, Dan and Nancy Walker

Best Moment
Being the 1st active duty Marine assigned to the then Aerospace Data Facility (ADF) and being given the opportunity to lay the ground work for Sub Unit-1 Company A, Marine Support Battalion. Sub Unit 1 was later renamed Company A, Marine Support Battalion when the flag moved from Ft. Meade, MD in 1995.
   

Worst Moment
Getting stabbed in the back by long time friend Navy Senior Chief (CTTCS) John Louis Luckey. Who truly knows why he had the meltdown that he had? Alcohol?

Chain of Command
From Oct of '92 until Jun of '93 it was me. In June of 93 Captain Vince Kucala arrived to take over as the CO with me as his Senior Enlisted Marine.

   

Other Memories
LtCol Butch Poole, who was the Battalion Commander at the time, doing the Chicken Dance down on Larimer Square while here on an inspection tour.
