Introduction

Post by hobbit »

My name is Tom Sweetnam. My radio code name in Vietnam was "hobbit". I did one and a half tours with L Company (Ranger), 75th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. After that I spent 7 months as NCOIC for division PSYOPS. I've been registered here on the Army Ranger web site since 2004. I drift in and out, mostly out. It's been about a year and a half since my last post, so Kevin suggested I post an updated introduction.
