The Mountain Division was also stationed at Fort Ethan Allen in Jericho, VT.
I had to make a couple of deliveries there when I drove for a small freight
outfit near Burlington. One of the shipments consisted of boxes of night
vision goggles, and the count was one box short. The officer in charge was
not very happy. I distinctly remember seeing several of those articulated
Haaglund snow machines in the motor pool.
GE also test fired the miniguns they made in South Burlington at Fort Ethan
Allen. They set them up under corrugated sheet metal awnings and chewed holes
in a gravel bank. I got to hear one once. Imagine the fastest drum roll you
ever heard, using sledge hammers on a boiler. Wouldn't want to be on the
wrong end of that.
