Comments about the web site: Just signing in to say Happy New Year(2005) to everyone. Robert W. Miller USAF(CCT)-(Retired) Pueblo County Sheriff's Office Computer Crime Unit (Retired)

Comments about the web site: Brenda and I are living in Pennsylvania now, commuting to DC. Couldn't stand being that close to town. Plus the house is worth the drive. Trout river out the back door and Whitetail Ski Resort 5 minutes out the front door. I am muddling around the Pentagon "Big Pond". Interesting, but not my favorite job. Spending lots of time with the grandkids. Give a call if you are out this way....(301) 275-9236

Comments about the web site: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! Had a white Christmas here in southern Indiana: 22" on the ground (our average ANNUAL is 12".) State of emergency declared, no unnecessary travel, etc., but the local mall was open! Go figure. Hope to see you at the reunion.

Comments about the web site: is there any one out there that knows the where abouts of Gary Harper Billy Horton

Comments about the web site: Hi Mac, I was glad to see in your meanderings that my old buddy Ron Holder has been found but too bad about the broken leg. During the holidays I was on the phone with Max Goodman and as we were tripping down memory lane, Ron's name came up and neither of us had heard of his whereabouts in years. I'm still having a hard time picturing him on a farm but I guess a lot of us ended up different than we thought we would. In talking with some of my old teammates, many of them were surprised to find out that my second career was working in the state prison system, they all thought I'd be behind bars instead of holding the keys. In any case, full retirement is not difficult to adjust to. Judy and I are in our 8th year of living the lazy life and we're not tired of it. We're home in Alaska right now after spending 3 months in Yuma during the fall and we'll fly back down next month and spend the spring there and drive back up in May. No pictures to send but I thought I'd check in with you.

Comments about the web site: All well in the state of GA, Worked all this time in the North Central region to return close to home. Been in Stone Mountain RV Park for 7 months and love the camper life. The grass gets to high hook up and move, don't cut it. Working for Danella Engineering and Construction, still with the fiber optic work. Looked for and still looking for changes in profession but nothing yet. Let 's here from you when you have a chance. JD

Comments about the web site: Mac, what a great site, thanks for your support. The Assault Zone locations are expanding once again and your site is the primary recruitment vehicle. I am having each team lead send you some civilian CCT pics; I feel they would go well with the active duty pics...Once again, thanks. EJ

Comments about the web site: C-130 retired pilot now a civil servant. Mac how ya doing bud.

Sincerely, Ryan Lee Hoggatt

Comments about the web site: From Team McChord 2005

Comments about the web site: I was in the USAF for 5 years 3 of them as a CCT member of the 1st APS at Lockborne AFB. Those were the 3 most memorable years of my life. From sleeping in a snow bank in Fairbanks AK to eating rat's in Panama CZ, and all all of the GREAT team members.

Comments about the web site: Anyone know the whereabouts of Calvin Vann, P304 type. Was at Norton in mid to late 70's.

Comments about the web site: Hi all! Don't get out enough these days, but it sure is good to see all those great CCT names on the screen. Have a great year, hope to see ya'll around when we can.......tb

Comments about the web site: Good talking to you Mac...just to clarify Chad Giesige sustained a severe head injury on Jan 30, the day of the Iraqi national election. His condition is no longer critical, but he has yet to fully regain consciousness. He remains at Walter Reed getting the best care possible from a team of neurologists, all of whom have unfortunately treated this injury many times since OEF/OIF began. The unit continues to keep a family rep on site, and we ask that those who desire to visit coordinate through our unit ops section, comm 910-243-0171, or DSN 383-0171. All indications are that this will be a lengthy recovery process for Chad. We ask that you keep him, his family, and his fiance Nicki in your thoughts and prayers.

Comments about the web site:

Comments about the web site: Recently PCSed (Jun 04) to Randolph AFB, HQ AETC trying to fill the shoes of TB (Chief Brown). Entered CCT in 1983. Stationed at hurby until 1988. Selected for duty with the 24 STS and spend 10 years there. 1998 the family and I PCSed to Kadena for 3 years and then it was back to the 24 STS as the Chief-great job! Now I'm here in staff land. I have two daughters (10/7) and married for nearly 19 years. Looking at retirement in 2009, Oklahoma City. I can't tell you how motivating it is to see these young troops coming in wanting to be CCT, I still have the gas to PT with them and its the funnest thing I do here. Thanks for what you do Mac, Whoya CCT!

Comments about the web site: Hi Sgt I am an ex Combat Controller, I was in the 1st Aerial Port Sq from 57-60, stationed at Donaldson AFB. I am intersted in your site and would like to know where I can get T-shirts and the likes. Please respond......  Just go to SgtMacsBar Canteen!  

Comments about the web site: Mac, As always, your web site is great. Hope to see everyone again at another reunion. It's great to stay in touch with as many CCTers as possible. If anyone's visiting Mt Rainier area, give us a shout as we live about 17 miles west of it, and always have cold beer and wine in the fridge. Ben and Nancy Sihsmann have stopped by a couple of times since the reunion.

Comments about the web site: Greetings, Best wishes to all. Thank you Mac for your outstanding web site. Fraternally, Waldoo

Comments about the web site: Hi Mac, just found this site....didnt even know anything like this existed. I was on the Norton CCT in 76, 77, and 78. Bill Frankenberger was my last NCOIC before I got out. Just read about his bout with cancer, hope he's still beating it. Some of my teammates were John Koren, Mitch Bryan, John Bringolf (sp?), Archie Hickerson, Bill Massengill, Patrick O'Neal, Dimitri Milonovich, Ed Pound, Roy Jordan, Floyd Smith and several other clear faces that I just cant put a name to right now. Looking at this site and seeing dozens of old friends I havent seen in almost 30 years is a kick in the ass. I'd like to get in touch with some of them but dont know where to start. Is there a list with names and addresses on it somewhere? Also, I have a name to put on the memorial list. Larry Hicks was killed in a car wreck in 1984 in Bastrop, La. I think JK and Mitch knew him, maybe you did too. Anyway, its late and I need to get off here. Great site and hope to talk to some old friends soon....thanks......Rick

Comments about the web site: Just my normal check-in. Hope you're having fun on the cruise. Look for this year's reunion (yep we're gonna try it again) in early November. More to follow when I know it.

Comments about the web site: My thanks to brother Mac for all this and to my son Todd who is, as I type this, in the NAVY BUDS class 256 at the age of 34 "o the younger generation" we are in good hands brothers. HELLO TO ALL from Omaha,NE.

Comments about the web site: Just checking in and letting Y'all know that Mac did an outstanding job in setting up our cruise. Eleven of us CCT'ers and wifes had a Super time.

Comments about the web site: Mac, great site. I didn't know that you were such a camera hound, but it's great just the same to see your mug (again and again). My wife of 22 years, Kathy, and our five year old son Christopher, are thriving and enjoying life in Virginia. Reconnected with Bob Jeffers earlier this year while on business in Florida. Had dinner recently with Mike Breeden near DC. I'm in St. Louis, MO often, so drop me a line if you'd like to enjoy a brew or two together -- I'll even bring the camera. Cheers, Hector.

Comments about the web site: My name is Michael LeJeune and I am searching for a PJ who saved my life on February 25, 1996. His name is David Swan (mid 30's). We had been in contact, exchanged holiday greetings, etc and the last known information that I have is: phone number 210-543-7756 (10800 State Hwy 151 #1128, San Antonio,TX 78251) E-mail: dswan@texas.net. He might be an instructor for the Pararescue school - I believe in Texas. Also, he is listed in the acknowledgments of Jack Brehm's That Others May Live.

Comments about the web site: Just spent the past hour or so reading these. Nice to hear an asshole or two from Koren again, sad to read a post from Johnny Karr, and really fun to read notes from guys I knew and didn't know too. I never drank that much and was pretty mild mannered but some of you might remember me anyway. I went by Mike at first but succumbed to the use of my first name, Rich. I was in from '66 to '73. Thanks, Mac, for hosting such a wonderful site for us old codgers! Anybody from the old 'Blue Berets', I'm living in Ocala, FL now and would love to share a beer with you!

Comments about the web site: I'm not a CCT member but worked with a lot of them while in 5th group. One of them was one of the lost SgtMacsBar Members - Dave Lillico - an outstanding soldier! If someone contacts him, tell him "Val" from SOT and HALO school says "Hi!"

Comments about the web site: Mac My email server is down for maintenance today, so I am using this to send you a request for assistance. I need a good color and a good black & white beret emblem (high-resolution drawings on black background works best) that I can cut and paste into a project that I am working. Everything that I can find on the web is poor quality or has other graphics attached. Can you help? Gene Adcock

Comments about the web site: Mac, What a smile starter. You couldn't wipe this grin off my face with sand paper. It sure brings back super memories of the best people on the planet. I'd give a lot to be able to either go back and do it again, or be able to jump in on the fun going on now. I'll bet the guys are tired, and having a great time. There's no greater feeling than employing all of your skills and training in the most challenging conditions, and the guys are this countries greatest defenders. I hope they realize how much we appreciate them, and their families. I'm jealous, and full of respect. Keep up the great site Mac, I hope I can get over to Columbia to see your set up. See ya later. Randy Carmichael

Comments about the web site: It was so great to meet everybody. We felt so much love and support and could see how close a group this is. Derek always talked about that. He talked about how great it was to attend the 50th. I shared with some of you that he wrote, "I always wanted to know what I would look like when I retire." It felt good to laugh. I'm saying that even though I "got coined" and insulted in the CCT gift store. Tell that nice man that I did fit into those small shorts. Oh hell...one leg anyway. Thanks for the laughs and love. Cheers to you! Debbie Argel Bastian Proud mother of Capt. Derek Argel, KIA Memorial Day, 2005 *Keeping the best of company with Casey, Jeremy, Brian and the others.

Comments about the web site: Greetings, It sure was great to have had the chance to share such an excellent weekend with such a well trained crew. The World is a better place thanks to you all! Proud to be an American. Todd Bastian, Derek Argel's proud step-dad

Comments about the web site: Thank you to everyone for making me still feel a part of the CCT family even after Marty passed away. You had a special place in Marty's heart and mine too. Thank you again, Mike, for keeping up the website. Marty would come into my office periodically, and I would log him on to the website so he could "catch up". Thanks again also for the link and write-up about Marty. The family appreciated that so much. Take care...Jana Martinez, wife of Marty Martinez

Comments about the web site: I am the Mother of Casey Crate KIA 5-30-05 in Iraq. I was so happy to be able to attend the CCA 2005. I did not realize that this was such a tight knit group until I heard many of the stories from the last 5 decades of CCT's. I was overwhelmed with stories from the past and ever so grateful to meet several of Casey's "buddies" that he spoke of so often. I learned alot about my Son that not even I realized. Debbie Argel and I finally gave up at Coasters trying to extract "secrets" from these guys. Not even straight shots were working! God Bless all of you and thanks for serving our country!!! Linda Crate

Comments about the web site: Hey guys, just looking around the net for some CCT videos and stumbled onto this site...I'm 18 and live in Minot,North Dakota...I'll be leaving in April for basic (might be sooner with quick ship) and then down the CCT pipeline. I can't wait to be part of the CCT community. If anyone has a way they could get me a recent video of CCT training I'd appreciate it, all my recruiter has is an old VHS from the 80's and its only 9 minutes long. Anyways take it easy. Levi

Comments about the web site: You guys are one hell of a team.

Comments about the web site: I have such a great time at the reunions in FWB! This year ('05) I met a lot of people for the first time, and became re-acquainted with so many whom I had forgotten! (Oldtimers' Disease!!) See y'all next time! One of these years I'm gonna show up with Zola Bowden as my "date".

Comments about the web site: You know I really have some issues to confront. I was told that I have to stop getting dogs from the City pound. The Policeman said that they aren't classified as food in the States. Is that part of the Home Security Act?

Comments about the web site: ANG CCT 1988-1996

Comments about the web site: Gee Mac you finally amounted to something! Great website thanks for putting it all together. Living in Mobile AL now and occasionally work gets me to Florida. I'm the Network Manager for Cellular South for AL & FL so all you guys please go get a phone from us so I can feed two teenage boys. Damn they eat a lot. They are worse than the "Critter man"

Comments about the web site: Mac, another year,still didn't make it to the reunion. Just a update on Todd. He busted up his left shoulder in BUDS, two months ago, yesterday the NAVY finial operated on it. on a scale of 1-4, 4 being the worst, the NAVY SEAL top surgs. said it was a 4 1/2. Good news tho, they did good work, he should be 100% after 6-8 month of rehab. He's happy, they want him back into the SEAL/BUDS program so bad that he was approved a slot as soon as he is physically able. I'll let you know. TH

Comments about the web site: Mac, the "news of my death are just a touch exaggerated". Run a Paraloft in Colorado and am a fulltime instructor with the US Navy's Jump School in San Diego (still doing 800-1000 jumps per year). Have had a part in training not only the SEALS but CCT out of AST (and quite a few PJs from Albque as well). Feel blessed to be able to continue to contribute to CCT in some small way.

Comments about the web site: Ol' Mac, he is ALWAYS harpin' "sign-z-book, sign-z-book"!!! Since we got a run of the old '75 Rock CCT here at the end of November I figure I'd sign-z-stinkin' book and keep the run going. (And my ol' bro Mac happy) Burchette, you got kids that eat more than Dale T. "Critterman" Jenson???! Man, I'm SORRY buddy, you need to git you a job on the side too. Teddy, hope your son heals fast and goes all the way. CASS, man you ain't really still alive are you??? Keep hoppin' and popin' dude.

Comments about the web site: Just checking the latest postings and lamenting (again) not making the reunion this year. Damn, I missed seeing you guys! Notice some names I haven't seen in a long time have signed in, such as Jerry Quintus and Rex Kenyon. Hey Rex, still got your Big Red 1 patch? I remember you catching some shit over that at Lockbourne. And Jerry, how about that sassafrass tea I made in the field at CCT School? Amazing what you find in the woods digging slit trenches. I got a good idea... let's ALL go to the reunion next year.

Comments about the web site: Mac, I hope that you and your family is doing well this holiday season. Sorry that it took me so long to sign in---long story (bs). Please put me on the mailing list and forward the info to join CCA. Thanks and take care. FB
