I am disabled from combat tours with the 82nd ABN DIV. I spent most of my time at Ft.Bragg with 3rd Bde but also spent time at Ft. Jackson as a drill sergeant and at Ft Sherman in Panama with the J.W.T.C. back in the 80's. Spent some time at Ft benning as well. I have had several surgeries and now feel capable, with the proper training, to do some hiking along the trail with the goal of a thru hike. (bucket list item!) I have been collecting gear, have started humping again, and have begun to spend time on some local trails. Great for my peace of mind!! I look forward to learning from the members here! Thanks! Lew
