| Lt. Jim Albers MOS: 1331 Company Commander Served: 1966-67 E-mail: malbers3@cox.net Address: Goodyear, Arizona Phone: 623 792 5780 Comments: I think His Craziness showed up in Vietnam I am James E Albers, I served in the 104th Engineer Company DT, from its rein-activation in Ft Meade in July 1966 until I was rotated from Vietnam in December 1967. I was the company commander from July 1967 until I rotated. My replacement was Lt. Stone who served as my senior Lieutenant. Prior to my assumption of command , the commander was 1st Lt. Smith who was preceded by Cpt Fritz Boyer. I was the guy who originally coined up the motto; “ We drop our rocks anywhere”. I served with the 104th from July 1966 as a brand new 2nd LT. (from OCS- 7 years enlisted) until I departed in late December 1967. I was the training officer in Ft. Meade prior to our employment, and also as a platoon leader in Ft. Meade and later Vietnam. It was really a great unit. Everyone that I was privileged to serve with was a superb soldier. The NCO’s were exceptional. Of particular merit, I would recall 1st Sgt Cantwell, and SSgt Livingston. I retired in 1979 as a Major, after 20 years service and count my time with the fine men of the 104th as the best. I salute all members of this fine unit. I am honored to have served with you all.
