I look for old friends, acquaintances, and Army buddies/associates from time to time. Particularly of the original USACC/USAISC Det Comm crew since we were sort of all closely associated as we came to Hawaii as a team. One of them was Jimm Sipp, SP5.

Going to different first duty assignments, we were assigned together at Kunia and again at DISAPAC as we started wrapping up our military careers. We ran around as single soldiers before both of us got married, and after we got married.…
