Will Pettit, Delta Co, 1st Battalion 39th Infantry, 1985-1987

Have swapped a few emails recently with Will Pettit, who served with Paddy's Gang at the same time I did:

I was with D 1/39 from 1985-1987, same company as the boxer Ray Mercer. I was The XO's jeep and track driver for a while. I started out in SFC Donovan's platoon. I was there from Dec.1985-Nov.87. I did two more years at Ft. Benning in the 197th. And that was the end of my Army career. I wish I would have finished out in Germany, but wanted to see the Army state side.

I wasn't looking for anyone in particular. Don't know if you heard from Hurlbert. He was in Delta with me then went to HHQ.

Thanks,

Will

Turns out Will and I knew a few of the same people, and were neighbors when I was up in Echo Co. He's left contact details so let me know if you'd like to get back in touch.

AAAO!

UPDATE: I may be confusing my SFC Donovans, but I think he's the same one who served in the S-3 in 1989 - http://4-12inf.blogspot.com/2007/01/sfc-donovan-s-3-shop-412-inf-m-1989.html

p.s. You can add your name to the roster now!
