I should have got one when they could be had for 3k... but it was too expensive then... Dohh! Senior Chief, This is what $3,500.00 would have gotten you on January 9th, 1998. This is one heck of a primo, in-your-face combat Full Cavalier group. Suffice it to say Full Cavaliers who came from the ranks of Guards airborne units are far and few between.
