Frank Pauc: Tribes and Tribulations

Frank (Francis) Pauc is a graduate of West Point, Class of 1980. He completed the Military Intelligence Basic Course at Fort Huachuca and then went to Flight School at Fort Rucker. Frank was stationed with the 3rd Armor Division in West Germany at Fliegerhorst Airfield from December 1981 to January 1985. He flew Hueys and Black Hawks and was next assigned to the 7th Infantry Division at Fort Ord, CA. He left the Army in August 1986. Frank then worked for 28 years as a supervisor at a trucking company and became interested in social activism. 

From West Point to Germany to the front lines of social causes, these... are Frank Pauc's Battlefields.
