10th Mtn... Whee!  I spent three years there, never saw the infamous Ft.
Drum winter... We made up a Christmas Carol:

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, we're packing up our
duffle bags again..."

I was in 511th MP Co.  not actually part of 10th Mtn but a direct
FORSCOM asset.	10th Mtn always asked FORSCOM if we could go though...
so we did.  Hardcore unit.

212th MP Co. in Germany though, now they were a joke...
