I had to condense the video down to 10 mins so the music got messed up, I tried to fix it but it's not as good as it was.

Great vid, for a little history on 3 Panter...we had one company called to go into Pananma in place of another unit, then in the first Gulf War, we were the first Bn on the ground. In OEF, the first from the 82d. Where ever these men go, they take care of business. I had the privilage of being a Tm Ldr, Sqd Ldr, and Plt Ldr during each of the these. God speed to all of the past and present Panthers who come after me. DeLong.

Menjivar,

What's up man? Its Lainez! I love the video; I can't believe how much time has passed since the chicken factory. I talked to David Turner the other day and he mentioned you. I just happened to run into your video...post a comment and I'll get in contact with you.

I was in B Co during the late 80"s when the 82nd got deployed to Honduras. We almost got deoloyed in place of one of the companies in the 504th who were caught unprepared for deployment. Airforce had to fly our planes in from Charleston, and by that time the company from the 504th got squared up, and deployed instead of us. Sounds simular to the Panama deployment.

IEDs, mudarmor, and a chicken factory... FTW.  Anyone know if that FOB is still there?
