Hey, I would monitor it or take charge of a MASTER GUNNER CLUB. I just need the head honchos of this place to direct me to where and how to do it.

Just throwing it out there!

Sounds like a done deal. Excellent how you fell into that Mark.
I third it, and carry it to pass.

You replied to my question about if the 2nd/6th cav was still at ft knox. we used to have our barracks across from the iron horse.but we lived at 5 north or mfo.So are they still there ?We had a ssgt cooper back in 82-83.you him?

2/6 Cav is now an Air Cavalry Squadron assigned to the 25th ID In Hawaii.

I was in E Troop 2/6 Cav Mar 80-Jun 82. We tested the Cavalry Fighting Vehicle (CFV), now the Bradley, in April 80-Oct 80. I remember doing TRs especially the 5 North ones, along with anything else Ft Knox found for us to do.

Those were the "Hey-days" of FT Knox when the 194th was there doing TRs in between NTC Rotations. The Rocker Inn was the "Hot Spot" in those days, if you couldn't get a woman in there, you didn't need one. Same with the Armor Inn. The Rocker is now part of the driving range at Lindsey Golf Course, and the Armor Inn was torn down 4 or 5 years ago.

The Iron Horse was torn down in the mid 80's when Burger King on Eisenhower was opened. The Recruiting Command Parking lot is now where the Iron Horse once stood.

The Barracks are still there, they were renovated over 10 years ago. they are now single soldier living quarters. All of the WWII barracks and buildings have been torn down except for the LST Building.

The move of the Armor Shcool and Armor assets from Ft Knox to of all places Ft Benning, kinda leaves a sick feeling in my stomach, and what's worse the local politicians made no attempt to stop it. I'll remember that when election time comes Ron lewis and Mitch McConnell.
