US Army Kagnew Station Shoulder Patch
Another site is "maddog's" all time Army Security Agency site. This
place is a tad irreverent. Also, holds are seldom barred. Fair
warning....the
people providing material were among the top 10% of the Army.

Unfortunately, when you get a bunch of very smart young men together, mischief is contagious. MAJ Rigo, my commanding officer on Okinawa, once made the statement that he was going down to the Operations Building which had the sign "Best in the Business" over the gate and he was going to change it to read "Through These Portals Pass the Greatest Criminal Minds in the World." This was prompted by someone who had done something terribly wrong, but not illegal. I can no longer remember the cause.
While I was there, I was a member of the US Forces Amateur Radio
Club--ET2US.
A group of veterans had a DX-pedition to Eritrea:

Corps
presence in Eritrea and Ethiopia:
