Pat,

Don't know what the ?-8 refers to, but S-2 typically indicates an officer. "S-2, Intelligence: collects data on enemy movement, strengths, and battlefield deployments, and makes recommendations for command. The S-2 office also handles security clearances, maintains the battalion/brigade's Signal Operating Instructions and radio codes, and usually maintain's the battalion's map collection." The bottom appears to indicate Ft. Knox.

I'm not familiar with S-8, as a reference to an officer. Is the first character an "S" too?
