SF Artist

[swpa19]

Didnt really know just where to post this thread, hopefully this is the proper place.

In the late 1970s early 1980s there was an individual, (not sure if he was 5th or 7th SFG) that used to do MOS pen and ink characters. As well as other SF related functions.

I remember one particular drawing that featured an SF troop in MFF with a Claymore tied to his jump helmet and freefalling toward a Russian Mig.

Does anyone recall this artists work or name?

Ballinger IIRC. That was a long time ago. He also had Christmas cards and a comic strip "ODA 069". Last I heard he went to Florida in the early 80's. The Hobbit on Yadkin Rd. used to sell his stuff.

Actually, that's from a much older print from the days when an SF Officer was a 31542 and was in existence when I first came to Smoke Bomb Hill - you could buy them at the PX and the old wooden IMA Book Store across from The White House (JFK Center). There were a whole series of them for all the Officer Branches and they were titled something along the lines of "The XXXXX Officer as seen by..."

The guy who did the HALO/SOT/SCUBA/etc stuff being asked about (Ballenger or Belanger or Balanger or however he spelled it) was a young SGT in the 5th circa the early '80s time frame.

I remember those when I was an assitant R.O.T.C. instructor.

Lot of those were really applicable too.

Those were definitely Bellionger's work.

Do you guys remember the REDLIW T-shirts that were going around in the 80's. I know some of you know what I"m talking about.

That created a HUGE stink.
