4/12 Inf (M): Ronald G. Vance III

Last week I heard from SFC Ronald Vance, who's still in uniform. Having left 4/12 Inf (M) just before the unit went to Bosnia, he spent time in Fort Huachuca (1994), switched over to T10 AGR (Full Time Federal National Guard) in '96 and is still at it. That's involved ten years in the DC area (between Belvoir, the Pentagon, and Crystal City), a year in Iraq, and time at Fort Polk. Here's SFC Vance's original email with news from Baumholder days:

Thanks for writing in! I'm still working to consolidate the roster data, which involves not only updating the info but shifting it between two different databases on two different systems, but I'll run the numbers this week and get back to you with any contacts I have from those days.

Of course, if anyone can provide leads on any of those 4-12 Inf vets, please contact me or SFC Vance direct.

Warriors!
