Damn!! -Jones was commissioned in mid-1953, after the Korean War's end, and reported to Fort Benning (now Fort Moore) to attend the Infantry Officers Basic Course. He attended Ranger School and received his Ranger Tab. Jones was assigned to Headquarter and Headquarters Company, 38th Regimental Combat Team.[23] He was initially to report to Fort Leonard Wood, but his unit was instead sent to establish a cold-weather training command at the former Camp Hale near Leadville, Colorado. His battalion became a training unit in the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains. Jones was promoted to first lieutenant prior to his discharge.[24] Holy sh*t.. I never knew he was tabbed! And his greatest role ever was B-52 Bombadier LT Lothar Zogg in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
