  4. My first memory of SGT Maxwell was an exercise called Dusty Bull 1984 at Ft Hood, Tx where SGT Maxwell would spin stories of Vietnam that had all the young soldiers totally enthralled and fascinated. That was my first field experience with the US Army Reserves and he made it very memorable! SGM (Ret) Tony Jenkins
