Chris Barnthouse, 1981 - 1983

Here's another in an unfortunately long series of short posts, created after I smoked my database. Cutting straight to the chase, I heard from LT Chris Barnthouse who served with the 39th Infantry Regiment during the 1980s. He's in Indiana these days.

Naturally, I can put you in touch if you send a note.
LT Christopher S. Barnthouse

Served with:

Bravo (Weapons Platoon)
Alpha (2nd Platoon)
HHC (HQ Platoon)


Arrived Jan 1981
Departed Dec 1983
More news from Chris:
I was a platoon leader in B Co, XO for A Co, and then set a division record (19 months) as Support Platoon Leader. I also was OIC for Paddy’s Walk in 1983.
As for me, I missed out on the Paddy's Walk and Nijmegen walks, but was on the Combat Run team in '86. Let me tell you . . . that was about as hard as I've ever run, and I've had to do some running in my time.

AAAO!
