              Co barracks. 
              Sign over entrance reads, "Let's Go, Suh!". 
              John's notes on the history of the sign: While at Fort Riley, Asst 
              Division Commander, BG Charles Meyer, would come around  
              to observe TF 28 training for LONGTHRUST VI. When approaching the 
              soldiers, the General would ask what they thought  
              about deploying to Germany. The "scripted" response was 
              a loud "LET'S GO, SIR!!!" shouted in unison. Woe to the 
               
              Company Commander who's troopers said anything else! With his sign 
              over the entrance of the barracks in Wildflecken,  
              Capt Edward G. Passallaigue, CO of Company D, showed off his Confederate 
              Flag and Southern accent (he was from  
              Alabama or Georgia) while at the same time sucking up to the "Snack 
              Bar Six."
