I was at Belvoir for 3 months, Fall of '65, for my second Special Forces demolition/construction heavy equipment training. I remember training on a rubber-tired front end loader like that.
Two fun memories from there....it was an NCO (Sgt) level course, and most of us were still PFC's. (No one, whatever his rank, while in SF training, got promoted- we trained with E3-E8).

I served on 9 posts, and they were the worst cooks....,.they DESERVED it.
