In the early 70's at Bragg, I don't think the word, "Air Assault" was invented yet, we did ride UH1's all over the place.

MSG (Join to see) - Got a 1/2 Norwegian, 1/2 Finn wife (which is a spectacularly weird combo), add that to my 1/4 Polish, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Scot and 1/4 English self and the 2 boys are not quite sure what to call themselves, besides "Americans"!

I'm sure it was a fine school, but if it was staffedwith BMM then I think it's probably a good thing it's being closed. BMM means all those outstanding NCOs who were the cadre of trainers were actually on the books as squad leaders or otherkey leadership positions in units. So those units are doing without them. That definitely has a negative effect on the units readiness.
We didnt have AAschool when I was there, but we lost soldiers to recondo school, the marksmanship team, the boxing team, and many other BMM taskings that werent as glamorous

When I attended in 1995, they sent a team of instructors down from Ft Campbell. God forbid if you were from 82nd. Those guys got smoked worse than everybody else.
