Hell, no.  I'm 229th EN BN.  The 307th EN (ABN) BN is the divisional 
engineer batallion from the 82nd Airborne.  Historically has had both a 
higher percentage of casualties and of decorations than any of the 
infantry batallions.  I've had the pleasure of working with several 
former members of that unit--including my current platoon leader who 
was a sergeant in the 307th.
