Hello from Michigan;

I was HHC Co Clerk, 12th Engineers, from Sept 66 to May 68. Made E5 under two, and still proud of that. Many of my buddies were ADM. Why not? They were a smart and friendly, if somewhat nervous, bunch. None of them EVER talked about their job. OK, I knew they had little nukes. Their unit patch with nucleus surely explained what they did. They trained and read their manuals in their wired compount down by the motor pool. Gosh, word was they actually were allowed to have bullets.

OK, it's 50 years past, and my salad days were there, with new my bride Linda married and living off post in Schabsburg.

Many happy hours at the DK in Oppenheim too.

Last fall I bought off eBay a 1978 zippo, engraved ADM Plt, with Airborn wings and the 12th crest, and engraved "Newk". Anybody know who that was? We surely overlapped.

Funny, the eBay seller wrote it was from the Admin Platoon. Ha!

Ron Stanton:  Got BA and E4 the same year. Go State!
