Just to let you know that I think your web page and link are as Tony the tiger would say Grrrreaat!. I fancy myself as a Jungleer, I was assigned to Company B, 4th Battalion 10th Infantry which when I arrived on 20 December 1973 was located at Fort Gulick. We were supposed to be there a year while they construction of the barracks at Fort Davis was completed but it actually took four years. Things were kind of slow. I spent the majority of my duty time in the Camp Pina area, and I use to make trail maps for the Battalion S-2. During my off duty time I would report to Fort Sherman then go out hunting, I got my first wild pig, with six shots off of a 22 .cal rifle I brought from Germany. I was reassigned to Company A, at Fort Davis and after the arrival of the “Pink Panther” Captain H.C.Clifton, things really did change. He had left the 3rd Battalion 7th SFG(A) at Gulick and wanted a line company, back then a SF officer was temporary duty not a career change, something like a career change into SF would definitely end a officers career as SF was still viewed as a beer drinking, jeep stealing soldier who wore a Sykes Fairbain knife, a star sapphire ring and a Rolex watch (ha ha). Anyway the guy broke all rules, he designated all teams in the company as commando, in example I was in the second platoon and my unit was designated commando 6, we were sent on reconnaissance missions before the 20th SFG(A) would insert, or other A teams. Then we would follow them until our unit was inserted into the jungle to find them. Sure that’s not nice, but it was realistic, you figure that it was our jungle anyway. We shared it with JOTC and the School of the Americas, our battalion perform more aggressor or OPFOR missions then any that I could remember. We went up against the newly formed 1st Battalion 75th Infantry (Ranger), the 1st of the 504th Infantry (Abn) units from the 4th Division and even from the 9th Infantry Division came to visit us. Our missions as aggressors was to interdict the US forces, harass them, attack them while they rested and keep them on their toes continuously for the duration of their Field Training Exercises. Coupled with that we also participated in the 7th Special Forces annual equivalent to Operation Flintlock, in the Canal Zone it was called “Savage Thunder”, Some times the teams called it Cuba Dagger Exercise as the battalion commander of the 3rd of the 7th was a former Bay of Pigs Cuban invasion member and had been traded back to the US for farming equipment. Apparently he was one of the guys who fell in the Lodge Act. Well sorry for all the war stories, I did want you to know that the entry on the History page, this one here: “In November of 1953 the JWTC was attached to the 33rd Infantry; its focus was to train Panama based soldiers in jungle warfare and survival. Improvements were made to Fort Sherman facilities, and formal training of the 33rd Infantry was begun in the Spring of 1954; the objective was to make the entire regiment proficient in jungle operations. In May of 1956 the 33rd Infantry was inactivated, and was replaced by the 20th Infantry Regiment, which inherited the JWTC and the mission of the 33rd Infantry.: Is slightly incorrect, In 1955 LTC Jeanie was flying into Fort Davis to begin the activation of the 10th Infantry Regiment at Fort Davis when his plane crashed in Gatun Lake, killing him and his staff. When I was at Fort Gulick I participated in the Soldier of the month board a couple of times and we had to study the battalion’s history. The battalion was reactivated in 1955 at Fort Davis, the 20th was reactivated at Fort Clayton and the 508th Infantry (Airborne) at Fort Kobbe. What happened to the 33rd was that it was shipped to Korea with the 65th out of Puerto Rico in or about 1951 to participate with the 3rd Infantry Division. When it came back after the war I believe the army broke apart all of the regiments and redesignated them. Therefore making battalions with a lineage. Unfortunately the 33rd was taken off the books and it is hard to find history of it. What I have for you is a lot of information if you want it. This includes 1:50,000 scale maps of the canal zone including Fort Sherman. I can scan in Sherman and send it to you if you give me a couple of days. Let me know.

GREETINGS: I thought I would say hello and let all of you know, I've added all of Volume One and part of Volume II and a working sample of John Lennon's last recorded song ‘Grow Old With Me' (which I am currently restoring, mixing and re-mastering) so everyone can see what Sgt. Billy D. Addison's son has been up to for the last 34 years as a music Producer. Set your Windows to 1024x768 (32-bit colors) and just go to http://www.beatlestribute.com and click on the song titles, and let each song load from its own lyrics page. Some of you might need the Windows Media Player (9 series), but I've got links for that too. The Windows Media 9 series player is a major improvement over previous versions, and if you have the old player I recommend the upgrade, besides, it's free. For those of you who do not have cable or DSL, and are using a 56K Modem (like me), every page on www.BeatlesTribute.com is very graphic intensive, and it takes every page at least half an hour to load the music and graphics on each page, but after you've visited the first time, it will be in your Microsoft Browser Cache, so the next time you visit, everything will load at near DSL speeds! That's the advantage of have cache memory in your web browser. Remember, if everything does not load on a given page, just push your F5 key (at the top of your keyboard), and the page and remaining graphic will load and reload. It's not every day you get to hear a whole album for FREE online, but I'm doing this because of the historical significance of the album, as much as I am doing this because I love the music and the memories. I think a lot of you guys will be surprised, even if you are not a John Lennon fan. I've updated dad's Sgt. Addison pages with a few more stories, thought you could never get away with some of that stuff in today's Army, like the story titled STRAIGHT EYE FOR THE QUEER GUY (Well here, let me fix that for ya). I debated putting stories like that one on the Web Site for several years, simply because I'm trying to be nice, but nowadays you can't turn on TV without some fag getting up in your F'-ing face, so F' it! If the queers don't like that little story, they can point their tow and just go have a good cry in their pillow! <I'm chuckling now> F'‘em! So enjoy and thank you, and may God Bless you and your families! Eddie Addison

In aug 1966 i was there for jungle warfare training befor I went to vietnam from fort davis cz.Battery A 4th msl Battalion 517 th artillary nov 1967. I was station there on the m-42 dusters for 18 months. The most one thing that brings back the jungle warfare training was sleeping in the swamps ON THE HAMMIK AND COVER BY A PONCHO,SNAKES,BLACK PALM,AND MONKEY MEAT WAS NOT LIKE BEEF,also like the slide for live, rafting the river, repleding down the falls climbing the cliff and the escape and evasion course, I didn't like the heat there it's like living in texas. after I got to vietnam there was no jungle were i was but it was hot lots of sand no tree a lots of water the south china sea, so the training help me with the heat and keeping me a live, It's not right to close fort sherman or giving up the panama cz. the kids now days are to soft and don't anything for there themselfs, they need a place like for sherman to build up their selfesttem. keith e smock texas This web site helped me to find two guys from fort davis

I was stationed at Rodman Naval Station, attached to the Combat Craft Division (PBR's/PCF's) from '82-'86. Went through JOTC in '83 and earned my Jungle Expert Patch, one of the few sailors to have one. I enjoyed the experience much more than the SERE training in '69 before I was shipped off to PBR's in "NAM. After JOTC and as a boat captain I had the opportunity to support many more JOTC training classes along with the Tropical Medicine doctors who managed to struggle through the training. My tour of duty in Panama was the highlight of my 22yr. career in the Navy.

I was with Charlie Company 1/504th 82nd, ABN. Div. My unit went to JOTC in October 1973. This site brought back bookoo memories. At Ft. Kobbe, their mascot was a mural of a parachuting alligator with a T-10 on his back and he was tailgating a C-130. The mural was on the cafeteria wall at Kobbe. My last name is Moten and so the guys in my unit nicknamed me Motengator. I ETS in July of 1975. Since 1976, I have been running personalized plates "MGATOR". I am now a Investigator with the Midland County District Attorney's Office. I retired from the Midland Police Department in Auagust of 2002. Do anyone remember the wait-a-minute vines or the fer de lance. My favorite qoute from the instructor at Ft. Sherman was, "You can eat it but you will die, you will die the worst faith known to man, you will die with your pants down." "You will @%&# yourself to death. Do anyone remember that one. How about down town Colon. During that time we wore the khaki uniforms and maroon beret. Same as their police force.

I was looking for a book entitled "Bushmasters: Americas Jungle Warriors" by Anthony Arthur. Printed by St. Martins Press of New York. 175 5th Avenue, New York, New York. Copyright 1987. My son-in-laws Grandfather just passed away, and we learned after his death that he was a member of the 158th infantry regiment, a Bushmaster. His name was Billy Bob Lefan of Texarkana, TX. He served in the Phillipines. We were both honored and humbled when we learned of his distinguished service and would like to learn more about the Bushmasters and his role in World War II. I found your website very informative and would like to learn more. If you have any information on where I could locate this book, please e-mail me. Respectfully.

Went to JOTC in June of 1979 while assigned to Co B, 2-31 Inf, 7th ID, Fort Ord, CA. I was a PFC so naturally I got to hump the 60 and the prick 77. We were soaked for most of our time there. Didn't know there were mountains in the jungle. Really appreciate all the excellent training we received. I fondly remember the Panamanian kids who traded mangos, coconuts and Cokes for our C-rations as we moved through the jungle. Went to Colon on a one day R&R and saw just how fortunate we truly were to live in the U.S. Am retired now and am a JROTC instructor in San Antonio, TX. Thanks for the opportunity to share my experience.

My oldest son is following in my footsteps, he enlisted for airborne and ranger training. He leaves Sept. 16th, 2003, for Ft. Benning. Just wish that JOTC was still there for him and all the "New Recruits" so that they could learn what we learned. I am now 100% Service-Connected Disabled.

Then SGT. JWTC Hawaii. By this time JWTC was RVN oriented. I believe that it was at least as valuable as Ranger School in combat, and as long.

I enjoyed my tours to Panama, 1988,1989 & again in 1992 after Desert Storm, I was a Military Policeman and patroled the training center on two occassions. It was not uncommon to run into troops doing their night navigation ops, and would at times give them directions back to the training site, super bunch! I would also spend alot of time doing guard duty at the entrance, quiet and peaceful it was. Shame we had to give Panama back. Great tactical terrain to learn from. Jim

Did at rotation as a M-60 Machine Gun A.G. with A.co 3/187th Infantry 101st Airborne Divison in the Spring of '90 was one of the first units to rotate thru. after Just Cause. Loved it all but the rust, man that jungle ate the gun and A.G. gear up, also remeber the 7th I.D. was still carrying out operations at the time, made it all the more interesting. 9 months later put all that jungle warefare learnin to good use in the desert of Iraq, God you have to love Army logic.

Ft. sherman was one of my guard duty gates and mobile patrol rsecurity for the 549th MP Co. at Ft. Davis across the canal. 10/66 through 5/68. Saw thousands of troops get JOC training on the way to Nam. There was a beautiful teen aged dependent living in the NCO housing at the gate. She was under 18 so I didn't approach her but I sure wonder whatever happened to her, whether she is living in the States now or just what. Oh well, Sherman was a good memory and I am so sorry that we don't occupy it any longer. I saw recent photos of what s used to be Ft. Davis and it is absolutely disgusting. Good web site, very informative. Thank you.

Outstanding training! I attended Jungle School in Ft. Sherman in 1995. The Cadre were pros. My only complaint was those African Killer bees that in had the displeasure of meeting. Had the pleasure to take some down time and go scuba diving on base and down at some resort down south. Panama is a beautiful country. A shame that the course is stateside now. the advantage of sherman are the elements that you face for real down in the Hungala! Keep the faith warriors!

I was an Army Brat, my dad was a Capt. I lived there in the first part of the 60'. I was a cub scoot and I knew that jungle and loved it. Troops would leave unused C-ration cases behind after partying all day at the Sgt.s beach there on Ft Sherman. We always had alot of chow for our camping trips into the jungle. Our father's liked the fact that we could handle the jungle like an everyday thing, so after awhile we could go camping on our on. The looks on G.I.s faces when we came humping thru thier jungle camps, you know some of them had been haten life untill they saw us little jungle panthers with the right attitude. Thats what Ft Sherman stands for, the right attitude. One of the greatest places to be a kid ever. Good times and nature all around you. I'm going back one of these days and do some hiking and camping around Ft Sherman. Take care...

Great Site! and Great Course!! I went through the course Oct 1985, and it was the most fun and some of the best training I had in the Army (even better than jump school). Was disappointed when some months later at Ft Bragg our Top told us not to where our Jungle Patches anymore as they were'nt authorized.

It was some of the best training that I ever received and it was a great learning experience. I'm sorry that it's not still in operation today. The instructors were the best and the environment was a real challenge.

I completed my JOTC class while assigeed to "C" Co 2/75th Ranger Bn in June of 1978. I turned 28 on May 28th and for a birthday gift,during "Green Hell" I fell cracking 1 rib and brusing 2 others. I did complete the course, however not without the incuragement from my "Ranger" buddies and of course the outstanding cadre at Ft. Sherman. It was a "Bitch at best" but well worth it.

haven't found any ADA guys. i was stationed at ft. sherman from sept 65 -apr 67. my unit was d btry 4th bn 517th ADA (Hawk-AW). pretty sure we were in the next to the last buiding on sherman. the last building by the zoo was R&D. we had two ADA batteries on sherman one was a M-42 Duster battery with equipment at btry howard in the jungle up behind the old movie house across the lagoon. the second was d btry a hawk missile battery further up the road up on the hill which i understand was converted to a horse stable or something in the early 70's. We provided air defense for the atlantic side of the canal to include Christobal and Colon. If ther's anyone reading this that has any info on those who were there , write. i work at the air defense school and beleive it or not three doors down from me is Jose Garcia a member of the Duster unit at the same time I was there. we discuss Panama all the time.

To John I do remember banyan tree because we were supposed to knock out the canal generating motors that were locked up two gates deep , the air borne couldn't figure it out so what we did was sneak past the guards again over the fence and tied two bamboo poles together , someone had some chuak , we tied it to the poles , over the fence past the guards , stuck the pole thru the two locked gates and put two very large X 's on the motors , the other side couldn't figure out how we did it , we told them later , i as a jwtc personal and instuctor i had one hellava good time there for three years , i look at the pictures and seen a lot of changes on the base . i often long to go back and remember the wonderful good times i had and the fishing off the breaker wall , i would go out there on my time off and fish for hours for tarpon and snook and red snapper and then have a fish dinner on the old dock thats gone now and juat obsorb everything . i really miss that place even today and thats been over 45 years ago .

Missed the school. Did manage to take in Vietnam as a Sgt with Special Forces assigned to SOG (Studies and Observations Groups -- of course -- yep). Hope you keep the site alive so people can see what you did and the pride you took in doing it.

I was the Ops Officer from Dec 75-Jul 77 under LTC Will Roosma. We instituted the 3 week, unit based POI under the direction of the USARSO CG, BG William R. Richardson, probably the top GO with whom I served in 30 years. Took my own bn back May-Jul 88. We covered down on Clayton, Amador and Sherman. Relieved by my good buds from the 9th Rgt. Sure would like to hear from some of those super NCOs from the 70's, Ben Sanchez, Tom Courtney, MSG Wyvel, OB O'Brien, SSG Delp, et al. Didn't meet their equal til I commanded the Ranger Tng Bde 92-94. Anybody ever gets by Montgomery, AL, give me a call.

I had the pleasure of contracting malaria in 1967, while hanging out with Antonio and the other Choco Indians up the Chagres River. Had it not been for some Special Forces guys, they would have kept treating me for the flu until I had died. God, I miss that place.

I completed JOTC training in May 1978. I was grabbed by a SM at Fort Bragg in 1983 and told my Jungle Expert Patch was no longer authorized. I have never seen any documentation if that is true and was wondering if anyone has any scoop on the subject.

Dear William: In answer to your question "Where are American soldiers suppose to learn how to fight in a jungle environment if Fort Sherman was closed.", The school really isn't closed, we're just pretending its closed, so come on down to Panama and if you can find us hiding in the bush, then you don't need any jungle training, you passed the course. By the way, if that e-mail address of yours was B_plug@yahoo.com, it would be pronounced Yahoooo.com!

GREETINGS ALL: As you all know, my dad was one of the founders of the JWC under Major General Porter (1947, 1953-1999), and as former graduates of the J.O.T.C. I feel it is important I personally address you regarding the following link and article. http://www.beatlestribute.com/BRITISH_INTELLIGENCE!.HTM I am asking you, please do not bother dad with anything contained in the article, because he is now over 80 years old and he has both Alzheimer's and Parkinsons disease, and I do not want him upset by anything. I want dad to remain calm and at ease and so I am personally asking all of you to stand down. Thank you all.

I went through the Jungle Operations Training Center at Ft. Sherman in April '84 with the 101st Airborne Div. B co. 1/502nd Inf. The " Green Hell " obstacle course was one I'll never forget! To this day I'm proud to wear the "Jungle Expert" patch that I had earned with blood,sweat and tears !! ** Air Assault **

Great Site! I was never stationed at Sherman but our entire Infantry Battalion from the Arkansas Army National Guard did a rotation throught the jungle school in 1991. Many of us still sit around and tell the younger guys that the jungle training was the most worthwhile and meaningful training we have ever gone through. I teach 7th grade geography and my students love the stories, slides, and momentos from my trip. I tell them It was a hot, stinking, steaming, nasty-assed place but I loved every minute of it. Thanks for keeping this site going.

Nice page, I was sorry when we gave JOTC away.After my first VN tour, I served at JOTC from mid 1967 to mid 1968. I was then promoted and assigned to the Infantry Committee at the School of the Americas at Ft. Gulick. It was a wonderful experience and one of the few times in my military career that I felt I was making a positive contribution to our war effort.

I went through Jungle Warfare school in 1995 @ Fort Sherman. I think it stinks that we who went through this course can not wear the patch because someone decided to adopt it as their unit patch. We earned it but can not show it. The Army needs to come up with something for us who went through this training to desplay on our uniforms. It is only fair ,since we did after all earn the right.

He was 18 yrs old, sandy brown hair and the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. I haven't had any closure guys and i would appreciate any info. By the way...loved the 3 weeks of pulling black palm thistles out of my ass and dodging monkey shit. Lots of fun. Tying off out wpns to our legs and mudslides and constant rain and 100 plus temps made for an enjoyable vacation. Sorry to hear it closed.

I earned my Jungle Expert Patch as a young Marine in 1980. The training was good and I have many fond memories of Fort Sherman. A lighting strike on a tree twenty five yards away, a night trying to sleep with ants cralwing all over me. It was also my first experiance with the difference between the Army and the Marine Corps. The Army said rucksack and we said pack. But it is still something I look back on with pride. We never got to wear those patches but I still have it and my cetificate. E/2/23

Fantastic experience! Completed JOTC in April 1962. Training cadre and physical operations were the best. Appeciated the dedication and expertise of the school's staff. I have to admit I was really proud when I received my Jungle Expert patch. Sorry to see JOTC inactivated, it's a real loss.

I was ststioned at Ft. Sherman from Sep,1965-Mar,1967. i aws I was biilted in the next to last building on the right side down by the zoo. The last building on the right was R&D guys doing research and weather stuff. My unit was D btry 4th bn 517th Artillery (air defense). The battalion was unique in Air defense in that it was a composite battalion made up of 2 (two)M-42 Dusters (40mm guns on tracks for AD) battery's and 2 (two)Hawk Missile Battery's (SAM). One battery of each was at Ft. Sherman. The other two battery's were on the pacific side defending Panama City & Canal. The JOC was two builing down from our billets. I can only remember one guy from JOC. His name was SSG Babbs and he had a dog that went with him whereever he went even to formations and the Club whivh was in the quonset hut at the tip of land around the bend past the zoo. most of the SF guy's lived at Gulick but some single SF guys lived at Sherman. I have some pics of that time which was by the way a really great tour of duty. Except for the land crabs and the constant rain. rain and fungus takes a toll on Missile and radar equipment. Thanks for the memory. joe
