Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Ross, I think thats a pretty good idea. I'd like to support it. Along those lines, and keeping with the Community News....LTG Benjamin Mixon, Graduate of North Georgia College, is now the Commander of United States Army Pacific Command (USARPAC). How about that, for a small school in the mountains of North Georgia? He was the original Commander of C Co., 3rd Ranger Battalion at Harmony Church, Ft Benning, later went on to Regimental HQ. He later Commanded 3/325th ABCT at Vicenza, Italy. He recently Commanded 25th Inf Division in Northern Iraq, and is now the USARPAC Commander and a 3 Star General. I've known him for many years, and served with him several times while on active duty. He is a "soldiers Officer"..probably due to the influence of his father. Some of you may have known his Dad, CSM Mixon, of the 101st, now deceased. Again, not too bad for an NGC Grad? He always mentioned his time of training at NGC and the "Order of Columbo", ROTC Training at the Mountain Ranger Camp etc,.. etc,... By the way Ross, are we able to order your new book yet? |
