Michael Frank Tarman

Ken here. I met Col Mike Tarmsn in 1969 in Tay Ninh Vietmam. Mike Was my Commanding officer in the 25th MP Co. He chose me to be his PMI Provost Marshall Investigator We had many interactions and conversations. So memorable Always thought of him thru the years. Just now today I noticed we shared the same birthday only one year apart Never knew that At the 2015 reunion in Lexington Kentucky heard of his death Soo sad He has been a great memory for me for 55 yrs now. God Bless you...

One of the members of OCS 19-67 that we all miss. He made several reunions and is missed by all. We followed his Pacific Coast Trail quest with great pride. Mike Thomas

When I was 18 in the summer of 1987, I was in basic training and MP School in Ft. McClellan Ala. Lt. Col Tarman was the 795 MP Bn Commander and I was a private in Alpha Co.

As a fellow OCS Class Alum, Mike was the guy you could count on to get things done. At our recent Lake Lanier GA OCS mini-reunion, Mike and I got the chance to get reacquainted and relax together. I brought my three grandchildren out for a couple of days to meet "all of Colonel Grandad's classmates from the war". Mike spent a lot of fun time with all of them and made the trip memorable for all of us. The PCT trail pictures had a huge impact on all of us.

Mike was a great guy who we crossed paths with back in 1966 at Ft Benning. He was one of the OCS Alums who was at many of our reunions. We all followed his PCT challenge with admiration for his goals.

I had the pleasure of being in the same OCS class as Mike. He will always be remembered by me as a fun loving, gracious guy with a great head on his shoulders. I cherish his memory.

Mike was a special guy,always about others first,quiet,bright,perceptive and efficient.Didn't need to dominate a room but he could.He had a Gift,a giver in this world,example for many as he sought to max his abilties
I met him way back at Ft Benning in '66, got reconnected over the last few years w mini OCS reunions. He'll be missed. REDEYE

Please accept my condolences. May you find comfort knowing that God is near you and is a refuge during this difficult time.
