Well Tommy Archer has a bunch of pics that I'll have to get up on the blog. Here's the first one - looks like a transfer of rounds. It's funny the things that jump out when you look at some of these old pics - for me the fact that they are in soft-caps stands out. We had to be in helmets all the way in the 80s. As I recall we used Gamma Goats to haul ammo to the Batteries when I first got to Peden and we we fielded the HEMMT (sp?). I know Service Battery was happy to get those new vehicles and see the Goats relgated to jeep status. One of these days when I spotlight the great Captain Walt Walker I'll pass on another ammo related story...
