Title: Fort Knox Kentucky
Post by: mikeylikey on May 14, 2007, 10:19:33 PM
I just got late word I have to go to Fort Knox the beginning of June to staff the Army ROTC Leaders Training Course this summer.  Anyone here active at the CAP SQD there on post?

Not me, but if you happen to stumble over a few gold bars while you are there, you can send them this way ;)

But I like to collect things!  Recent exchange with the wing commander, as I was walking out of an office at wing HQ: "MR. COLGAN!" "YESSIR?" "Every time I see you, you're walking out of here with something..." "Uh, well this time I was dropping something off..." "Well, that's a first..."

Would it work if I got you in touch with someone who went through the same course at the same place 2 years ago?

They used to have bumper stickers there that read: "Drive Defensively Buy A Tank"  ;D

Be sure to tell us about Agony Hill and Misery Hill when you get back!  I had to climb Agony and Misery in 1978.
