I ran into Joe Jammarco from Apache Junction, Arizona. He served with the 327th in Nam but is not online. He asked me to post his phone number so friends from back in the day could get in touch.

I am doing some research and am trying to understand the abbreviations in some of the discharge forms I'm reviewing. Can someone help? (i.e. 195 Aviation CO ASLT SPT HEL TBFAAA, USAAC, USASESS 3d US Army) Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to decipher these types of notations?
Thanks!

I happened onto your website as I was putting off reading my weekly stack of books - and thoroughly enjoyed it (the website, not the books!). Having departed No Slack on the eve of OIF, thinking about my pre-OIF experiences in the 327th oftentimes seems like ancient history... but the columns and pictures can make any reader feel like they're part of the action. In October 2002, COL Hodges told me - most presciently - that I would glumly watch my successor (CPT Matt Konz) go off to war and help write the next proud chapter of Bastogne history... as I sat and watched Matt on CNN from the "O/C Hilton" at the JRTC - I'll be COL Hodges didn't realize how right he'd be!

Great site, I was not aware this existed until yesterday.
I was an RTO with 1st Platoon, C company, 1/327, from Dec 67-May 68, WIA in a firefight on some unknown triple-canopy little hill in the A Shau. My call sign was "One Zero Oscar" until the late night radio roundup when my handle switched to "Alice in Wonderland". I remember names like "Cutthroat", our exceptionally well trained West Point CO, his RTO "Six Oscar", "Ski", my couldn't-read-a-compass-to-save-his-life platoon leader, "Wiley", another RTO infamous for commandeering a helicopter at gunpoint to retreive the Pony Express our HQ boys were going to hold for another week, "Lurch" (Sgt Adams). Most of all, if you're still out there, Henry "Hank" Ortega a.k.a. "Doc Trip".
If anybody remembers any of these unsung heroes, please drop a line.
