My 82nd Airborne Division 

I was there with 3/504th from 91 to 94. Strike Hold!

Me too, I was there from 90-93, I was a spoon in the 307th Med.BN.

3/504th "91 to '94

1/325 '87-89. AATW!

Do you remember if the video with the music "In the air tonight" was still being played there at the museum across from 325th AIR Batt?

@@17fourU I don't remember. I was 82nd Sig Bn 91-94

Lol

I saw him about 8 or 9 years ago at All American week. He marched with the 1st Brigade vets at Div Review. When we passed in front of 1st Brigade, he said "there's the finest regiment in the world men".

My era also. I was 307th Med.BN. 90-93

A co 782nd Mt battalion 89-92

Yes. One of buddies was stationed there. Great stories he told.

Yeah, thats not quite how the math works. Where you go is highly dependent on your MOS where some places you just cant go because you're the wrong MOS but if you were one where you could go anywhere, I'd say somewhere like 70% chance you get bragg, but only 50% chance you get into div. There are only 5 airborne brigades in the army, 1 alaska, 3 bragg, and 1 italy. Plus cmd support 82 div hq/hhbn, 18 abn corps at bragg, and the 5 various SOF support groups (about a bn size of non-SF personnel each) 1 also at bragg, and the tradoc airborne element at benning and AAS at bragg (They might actually be under corps or garrison rather than tradoc tbh, i don't know). If you're combat arms and not going through selection (or washed out, rip), then yeah 82d is where they send you unless you're (un)lucky and get italy/alaska, I worked with many people who went there for their first assignment then came to the motherland. Highly recommend doing the reverse because there are so many 82d-isms that some people have difficultly adapting to either because they came from 173 or from non-abn units. There is a reason why nearly all senior ldrs in div have spent basically their entire careers in div. Is it nepotism or strengthening/guarding an ABN culture from legs? you be the judge.
