For herein we assay to chronicle the meanderings and roamings of a band of merry men and women of the great AFMC vintage of 1972, (ie the seventytwoers) and towards that end the Marquis DeBats pledges to record faithfully and truthfully the roamings that he is party to.

He also records his gratitude to Heather Iyer for devising this plan to record the glorious history of these peoples for posterity and would like all sevetytwoers to set their hand to this great effort.
