Recherche du Lt Colonel Duane Barber depuis 1982, web 92
Présentation de Philippe inscrit en début février 2024.
Bonjour à tous; Ancien Para commando belge et en service actif au 1Bn Para belge en 1982, nous fûmes choisis à 16 hommes du Bn à participer à un stage "Course" au 10Th Special Force Group de Bad Tölz Germany. Ce stage fut pour moi tant exceptionnel qu'inoubliable et restera à jamais gravé dans ma mémoire. Stage terminé j'ai personnellement reçu mes brevets et insignes + COIN des mains du Lt Colonel Duane Barber mais à cette époque je ne parlais pas assez bien l'anglais pour tenir une conversation. Durant 40 ans j'ai tenté de le retrouver mais sans succès. Voici quelques jours j'ai trouvé ce formidable site et lu dans un fil de discussion sur 10Th merous où Agorsteen écrivait avoir diné entre autre avec Duane Barber. Ainsi la raison pour laquelle je me retrouve parmi vous. J'ai trouvé cette page en fil de présentation, j'espère ne point m'être trompé! Bien cordialement, Philippe Vigneron. |

Bienvenue Philippe. Aujourd'hui, je suis reconnaissant pour Google Translate*! |
Update
Been a member for a while but inactive for a few years, figured I would reintroduce myself. I graduated last year got selected to commission as an Air guard. I'm going to keep my head down and make sure I can fly (and land) planes safely, but my 300m target is to apply my current skills and previous work in intel to special assignments.
I'm happy to talk enlistment or commissioning advice. I wouldn't have stuck around the military if it weren't for helpful peers and mentors I found along the way. Cheers |

Bonjour Philippe, Quand j'étais dans le 509e en Italie dans les années 70, nous envoyions des parachutistes dans votre école de commandos et ils y accordaient toujours une grande estime. Je suis allé à l'école française Commando mais je souhaitais suivre votre cours car c'était une école meilleure et plus exigeante. Mon frère était soldat du 10e Gp SF mais j'étais toujours dans le 5e Gp... il adorait Bad Tolz. Bienvenue Patrick |

Hello, back. Hope all's well.
Happy Thanksgiving. |
Just another 18x post
Hello everybody.
I would go by “Peregrine” but I had some issues with registration that caused me to just make a second account. Shouldn’t matter too much considering I will be pretty quiet having never donned a uniform, let alone The Beret. |

Best of luck. |
Thank you to the QPs and regulars for having me.
I’m located the in U.S., served in the Army, and enjoy reading, cars, and guns. I have no interest in writing anything further until sufficient time is spent reading and understanding. Thanks again. |
Welcome!

Greetings
Hello everyone. My name is Francine. I am the daughter of Msg William L. Smeltzer. He was SF for 27 years (1962-1989), MACSOG CCN and Project OMEGA in Vietnam, stationed at Ft. Bragg, HQ USAEUR in Baden Baden, Huntington Beach (as recruiter), Ft. Devens, Bad Toelz, and ROTC at St. Bonaventure University.
I'm hoping to connect with anyone who knew him or served with him. I want to preserve his history for the family. He passed away in 1992, when I was 17. Most of his kids were too young to really remember him, and he never met his grandkids. I would love to have some stories to preserve for them. |
Reintroducing myself, resurrecting a long-unused screenname.
I used to pester TheReaper on SOCNET 25 years ago. I am now an 18Z, about to retire from 5th SFG(A) next year, after 20 years TIS. Will provide proof for anyone who needs. |

Thank you.
10 deployments. 2nd marriage (Like a good 18 series) A couple of surgeries (like a good 18 series) I'm happy to be on the down slope! When I was a Zulu, I had 6 fresh X-rays out of the course. A leadership challenge...to be sure. One thing that impressed me though is they were all physical animals coming out of the course, and I was pushing 40. I also asked myself "where did the time go?" |
