Hello all, I joined to see if there are any "Hardrock Charlie" members from 83-84, and perhaps to share some of the pictures I took back then. I was in 1st pltn Wpns squad and though I was somewhat of a skinny "drone," I'm still proud I was there at all. Rangers Lead the Way! - John

This mighty soldier on the eve of the war he waged Told his troops of lessons learned from battles fought. "May your heart grow bolder like an iron-clad brigade" Said this leader to his outnumbered lot.

Headoutdaplane, Its been a long time, so I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is SSG Harvey Moore loading rangers on a helicopter the morning after jumping into Germany for REFORGER 83 or 84 (can't remember the year we went to REFORGER either). Were you there for that? - John
Must have been early 83 I wasn't there. One of the guys, can't remember his name right now, but he was from Alabama rode his ruck in and busted his knees up pretty bad on that jump.
