Training Area 6910 Pre-FTX Training

Every so often once the 504th Signal Company was established and had almost all of our equipment, we would convoy the entire company out to Training Area 6910 in Darmstadt and set all the equipment up to test it out. These are pictures from one of those times.





We had just began getting some Humvee's from units which were
returning from the Gulf and drawing down. Here is a group of
troops who were coming back from nearby Kelly Barracks for chow.




We also worked out maintenance problems with the vehicles.




Here is PFC Napolitano.




This is me! Notice the sexy glasses I'm wearing. ;-) I'd
rather break those than my regular glasses you know.




A view of some of the other equipment set up on the training area.




Some of the 31C's equipment. To this day I have no idea what it is
they did and at some point their MOS was gone and they became nothing
more than detail troops for the entire company.




Another picture of the vehicles being worked on.




That is SPC Alvarado giving the international sign of a tac-sat
operator while trying to work out problems with the equipment.



That's SGT Houck on the left working on the problem with the shelter
with SPC Alvarado sitting there getting some good training on repair.
