Casey is correct: "C” Company, 1st Battalion, 11th SFG located in Bldg. 5518
When I transferred from the 12th GRP to the 11th Grp, my first stop was Tappen, "B Co" 85/88, then to "C" at Dix. idk or remember the CSM's name, but his focus was sending prepared candidates to the course. Scoring above 290+ on arrival and in-processing cushioned your acceptance and timeline. In those days, you could advance via the paper tab, which is arguably the first remote learning program for a certification. Decades ahead of its time, and now a standard in University certificate programs. iirc, the 1st FTX was LandNav and SUT, in and out in a few weeks. I forget what the 2nd phase FTX was, but remember it to be longer.
Thinking about this reminds me of an incident that happened recently. We were shopping, parked the car, and I noticed the car in front of me had a regimental crest,
with a PH licence plate. ON Leaving, the owner of the car was packing up, so I went over and introduced myself: 12th, 11th, VN 11th Inf Bdg Americal, etc., and the guy pulled out his wallet and showed me his DD214. Twisted my mind; WTF is that about? Who carries a copy of their DD214 with them??? Extremely weird.
