    Pickle Meadows, where the women are scarce and the sheep run scared! Gunny liked it so much he served there twice if I recal correctly. Had one up there that could "bah" his name. The only way I could tel his apart from mine were the ribbins around the neck. Mine had a scarlet ribbin, his had a gold one.

    Pickel Meadows Memories

    Hey Mountain Man,

    I guess you know about our group on Facebook, I don't remember if we have any former instructors.

    They are probably too busy doing mean things to the neighborhood cats. LOL.

    Thanks much!

    Ken,

    Thanks for the help. I am not the most techno inclined sometimes.

    Hey Dan, thanks for keeping these postings going. I WAS on Facebook but got in trouble with my wife of 26 years when she saw messages from my girlfriend of 27 years - freakin' technology will kill you. So I don't do Facebook (or the girlfriend) anymore.
    Just went back to Bridgeport in June - was going to stop by the base but they had guards with weapons locked and loaded and lookin' kind of nervous at every gate - don't know WHAT was up with that! The base has changed, but the town and the mountains are the same.
    Hey Foxtrot Oscar - what was your job at PM and where are you now in WA state? If you're going to be in the Olympia area we should do a beer or three and shoot bulls.
    As an instructor we were kind of isolated and didn't get to know many of the rest of the guys on base- except at the club. but one thing I did want to clear up - Hetzman was NOT an instructor. He was a douche bag and honestly, so was Easter, but he didn't deserve to get shot like that.
    Colonel Guy was my XO at Pendleton before I TAD'd up to Pickel Meadows; when I heard he was coming I warned everybody - but they still had no idea what was coming. I loved that guy - almost married his daughter Tammy actually.
    Anyway. Long time ago, but great memories.

    JW and the rest,
    I just stumbled upon this site while searching MWTC. Sure is great to see some familiar names and hear some recollections.
    I was assigned to the Instructor Branch toward the end of the summer packagge in 1978. I was the replacement for Bob KenDoll Davidson. It was too late in the season to get CT'd so I didn't earn my summer Red Hat until the spring of 1979. I was up there two winters 78-79 and 79-80, as well as most of the summer of 1979.
    I remember you movie projector operators helping me out every time I taught the cold weather clothing class. You would play a Korean era Army film for my intro showing a guy getting his frostbit toes peeled off. Great stuff.
    JW are you still playing the guitar? I reember walking into hooch 1 and you and Muzzy were playing The Ballad of Jed Clampett.
    I'll try and find some old pictures and check out the facebook page.
    Ameriken, I'm just down the road in Parker. We'll have to figure out a way to link up sometime.
    MWTC was a great place to be stationed. Ron Angle

    Hey Ron - long time... I remember that frostbite video too; it really got their attention! Muzzy and I were great pals, but like with a lot of us, we haven't kept in touch. I did keep playing the guitar and got pretty good at it after a while, although I play for my own amuzement mostly. My first attempt at singing in public was when Muzzy and I sang "A Six-pack to Go" at the Pinenut Lodge with Dwayne and his wife playing background. It went downhill from there!

    The thing I remember about the instructors is how you all would sneak down from the mountain and knock on the back door of the club kitchen to order a to go meal when you were supposed to be eating off the land up in the hills.

    I worked short order at the club and delivered the food out the back door without anyone being the wiser.
