Welcome to the home page of the 54B 20/30 Class. We were interned at lovely Ft. Leonard Wood, MO from 29 April 00 to 12 May 00. This page is a memorial to our trials and tribulations in our own personal search to become Chemical "Qualified" NCO's. We underwent many strenuous hours and time consuming classes in pursuit of our quest. Along the way something funny happened ... not only did we manage to survive the rigors of the class....we made some life long friendships.
As the shape and content of the site continue to evolve I am incorporating various new gadgets...new to our page are the search engine, which will search our website for various key words. For example type in your name and hit search. The search engine will list all the pages that your name appears. Additionally, I have included the message board, a chat section, a guest book, and an email list. I would like to thank all of those whom have contributed pics to the site! I should have the training and student life sections updated sometime this weekend.
As you can see there are several new gizmos that have been added. The bulletin board, chat, email list, guest book and search engine. If you were a member of the class, please load and send me your email again, thanks. If you have a new email or need to update yours please email the webmaster. Thanks.
Please email any comments or suggestions to the webmaster. Additionally, anyone with pics ... training or candid shots that would like to share them please get in contact with me. All photos will be returned to the sender. Thanks! Am currently working to create and disseminate a class address roster, including those whom do not possess email capability, I'll keep you advised!
