I did 2 tours in 193rd inf in Panama. Best time of my life there.

Was that the 193rd out of Ft Hood? I was at Hood in 1967 and the 193rd Inf was there. I was in Panama doing Jungle Survival Training.

Dunno about FT hood history of 193rd. But in mid 80’s when I was there till year 2000 turnover the 193rd was responsible for the defense of the canal.

Was always told spirit of the bayonet protecting the canal represented in the patch. JOTC survival training was awesome school. Did that too while there. Army version of weight watchers.

USAF UH-1 Huey Crew Chief. 10 years 5 months active duty.

20 years active, retired MSGT, also a 67N40 UH1H and UH64 crew chief before flight operations and phase team chief. 2 tours in Vietnam, Panama, Honduras, and 2 tours in Germany. Did REFORGER twice and froze my butt off. Flew left seat as an X-Ray doing non-standards many times. A whole lot of good times with great people, and a few shit holes (Grafenwohr). Spent time at a CAS (combat alert site) for Pershing II nuc's flying site security support for the warheads. All in all an exciting 20 years, then I retired and went directly into Law Enforcement, just asking for punishment I guess. Been retired since 2005.
