Memories For This Unit
Best Friends Sgt. Mike Geers, 1stLt. Woody Ayers and Capt. Perry Unruh!	Best Moment Commissioning such men as H.T. "Butch" Gee, Don Horn, Kim Poole, Craig Williams, John Tuck, Harvey Howard, Jeff Marsh, Mike Malachowsky, Eric Van Camp, Mark Workman, Kim Poole, Gary Munn and Rod Richardson (who would be KIA in Iraq as a security contractor in October 2007) and many others that time has clouded the names! Working with Capt. Perry Unruh and 1stLt. Woody Ayers were fun too. They were pretty damn good racketball players also.

Worst Moment Being asked to fudge the AQT/FAR score for a minority applicant in order to get make a quota. I didn't!	Chain of Command Capt. Manfred Augustus Koebig III was the OSO, 1stLt. John Ballard was the Asst. OSO. LtCol. A.K. "AKA King or the Deuce!" Dixon II was the CO, Capt. Bill Melton was XO and SgtMaj. Armstrong was our Sergeants Major.

Other Memories Capt. Ballard/Sgt. Geers had the northern half of Oklahoma and Capt. Koebig and I had the southern half. We doubled up on the OU and OSU campuses!
