| Not to the best of my knowledge. As best I know, he enlisted and spent some time in Korea as infantry. After that he went to engineering school and OCS. As seen on the plaque he was in Vietnam when the 82nd deployed. After than he spent three years TAD in Colombia. I could never pin down exactly when he went though SF or airborne training. When he passed away, a box with these patches and insignia was all I could rescue from my avaricious relatives. There was a folder of papers detailing various training, schools, his DD214, etc. which I couldn't get my hands on. Hopefully I'll get access to that one of these days.
