September 26, 2009 -- The Villages, Florida – CCT @ The Eye of the Storm (EOS) Mission Complete by Gene Adcock – Today I delivered the last of more than 550 books to the US Post Office. The final group included eight boxes of books headed to APO AA, AE, and AP addresses. I have a minor concern for this group as they may be delayed by surface delivery regulations. But keep the faith, “they're in the mail.” The following are some stats that may be of interest.The LARGEST ORDER came from the 720th Special Tactics Group. It was a consolidated order of 55 books compiled by LTC Jerry Kung (LM-524). Mike McRenyolds (LM-173), of Sgt Mac's Bar was a close second with an order of more than 50 books. My special thanks to these dedicated Combat Controllers.
The MOST DISTANT ORDER came from Richard Connell (LM-853) in Canberra, Australia. Richard is an instructor in an Australian Military Academy.
BOOK DELIVERY - I am 99% certain that everyone will have their book(s) by 1 November 2009. If you have not gotten your book by then, let me know.
FUTURE BOOK SALES – I will have book signing sessions at the CCT Reunion, 14-18 October and the Airlift Tanker Association Reunion, in Nashville, 28-30 October. At both events, books will be on sale at the discounted price of $50.00 each. Books are still available at The Eye of the Storm.
COMBAT CONTROL SUPPORT – It is impossible to properly thank everyone in the CCT Community for their outstanding support of the CCT History Book Project. Without your generous support, the EOS would not have seen the light of day.
