I was recently telling a friend about the caiman pool thing at Sherman. Is that the one right outside the chow hall?

I was here long ago!

Thanks for posting this video. Those riot disturbance training events served as the foundation for more advanced tactics which eventually paid off during Operation Safe Haven when we did it for real when the Cuban refugees rioted and took over the camps in Empire Training Area, and then the 549th and other units fought to retake the camps as part of a task force commanded by COL Cofer (the MP BDE Commander). Not everyone took the training seriously, and they paid for it during those ops. In the opening days, the 534th MP CO took quite a few casualties (wounded), and soon after so did 5/87 IN BN.

Cool video, thanks for posting it. What platoon were you in? I remember planning these LFXs back when I was 3rd PL, 1993-1995. MSG Miller was our PSG. That was back in the days of CPT Baratto (and later CPT Hunt) and 1SG Lintz. Back in those years, few of us foresaw the years of combat that awaited us. Across the underfunded Army, these LFXs were a key part in building our fighting skills, which we put to use just a few years later after 9/11. I remember these LFXs vividly, as well as the men... Finley, Mandeville, Armstrong, Black, Wells, Beggs, Mason, Robinson, Moorehouse, Streat, Lavoie, Dragu, Mars, Bowman, Kinney, Armstrong, Cummings, Burry, and others.

Did you happen to know either CWO Davies? My parents were stationed there till 95 with us living at Espinar.

FOB Falcon 05-06. L Trp 3/3ACR. My Bradley was The Liger! Until it got blown up.....

I was there in '86.

Love your videos, I was in B Co 5/87th at davis from 92-94

That’s a lot of mud man.

Been there, seen that

Fuckin’ A, I was there with 3rd ACR in 05-06!!! The building that got hit with the rocket at dinner time!

I remember going out on a night fire some where in the jungle around 1981. I had a M-60 and maybe 200 rounds. It was pitch black.

My father ran this zoo around 1993/1994. It's so crazy to see this now!!

1993?

Did I hear The Predator..click click click..I swear I seen something in the trees...

We used to go sea shell collecting there, also. They have beautiful shells there.

My parents and Sisters were also involved in the Girl Scouts. I was about 11 years old at the time. My Sister's troop spent a few nights in what used to be a woman's prison. I went, too. The girls went on a hike and my Dad asked if I wanted to go. I told him no because I didn't feel like it. The real reason I didn't go was because they had Hersey Candy Bars there and I wanted to eat some. I soon regretted not going with them. I could swear that prison was haunted. I heard noises from in there and I was sure glad when they got back.

My Dad was an MP at Ft Davis in the early 70's. One of his friends took his two sons with him to the beach that is shown at about the 21 second mark. The two boys were swimming while their Dad and another soldier were on the shore talking. The boys got caught in an undertow and couldn't get back to shore so their Dad and the other soldier went into the water after them. Their dad was a faster swimmer and got one of the boys and handed him off to the other soldier and went after his other son and they were on their way back in and he handed the other son off to the other soldier but was too exhausted to make it back so he drowned. It was really sad. We were in the Boy Scouts while we were stationed at Ft Davis and we camped at Ft San Lorenzo for a few days. It was a lot of fun. We also got to go to the San Blas islands. I would love to go back to visit sometime.

Building 217 sat right across from the barracks at Ft. Espinar. I called Building 217 my home from August 1989-November 1989. I never saw the damage done with the Vulcan cannons. I'd heard about it and participated in a practice run, but seeing the aftermath. Strange.

I left the 549th in June of 96' the pepper spray was never the high light of anyone's day, well unless you count the joker doing the spraying.

I was assigned to this unit while stationed at Ft Clayton Panama 96-97 as a light wheel vehicle mechanic 63B! :) I recall having to go through the pepper spray training with these folks. Not my idea of fun. lol!

I spent many hours doing the Panama riot control both on the line as an aggressor during my time there. It was known to get a little bit brutal from time to time. Getting pelted with rotten food always kinda sucked too.

Hey bud u think that R5 bulb will drop in my M951 without mods?

I was there the class right after yours. Cool vid bro.
