For the record, "Night Hides Not" is the motto of the battalion I served in during my tour in Germany. It was a Chaparral/Vulcan (towed) battalion, with the responsibility for air base defense of three air bases: Hahn, Spangdahlem, and Bitburg.
I commanded both Chaparral platoons in my battery, as well as one of the Vulcan platoons. My last job was as Battalion S-4 (Supply Officer). I was given near-absolute independence as the S-4, as I had the trust of my Battalion Commander, and I was well equipped to run the shop: I had been with the battalion three years already, and my public accounting degree gave me a depth of understanding of accountability and budgeting not often seen at that level. I also did six months as the Property Book Officer, as the new warrant's arrival was delayed. Again, my accounting background enabled me to pick up the slack without missing a beat.
It was a unique assignment due to the distance between units. For example, C Battery at Hahn was 45 miles from battalion hq.
I was afforded the opportunity to live in a town on the Mosel for 4 years (Traben-Trarbach). It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I was part of a team that molded our battalion into C-1 status after our last tactical evaluation.
I once had quite a bit of info on my home page, but I pulled it several months ago. In this environment, I deemed it prudent, given the breakdown in discourse on this site.
I understand the reasoning re your profile page, and thank you for the service to our Nation.
“Dude, he put it out there, trying to goad me into releasing my name.”
Grandiose delusions much? No one cares. Enjoy the insignificance of your position and passions.
Germany had so many great assignments. My first was near Ansbach and my second, Bad Kreuznach. In the latter, I also had coverage responsibility for a large geographic area that stretched from Baumholder to Giessen to Wiesbaden to Darmstadt. Great assignment.
