Roger that, Sergeant...and welcome home!
As far as why they don't have blanks, y'all made some perfectly valid points. The thing to also remember is that rounds are not cheap, they need these weapons to protect their house and homes, so...
It’s another night where I get the dubious honor of being the Staff Duty Officer (or, factoring in the military’s love of acronyms, “SDO”). Now, the job of the SDO is to monitor the progress of...
Happy Birthday, bud!
A buddy of mine bought a DVD of the movie at the local bazaar. Average sound quality, skips a bit when played on a laptop, and some creep gets up for popcorn during a dramatic moment...
It was a...
Sarge: Well, if you wind up transporting a bunch of Virginia National Guard troops and you see a SGT dePlanque, could you do me a favor and give him a noogie for me?
Tas: I blame it all on...
Yup, I spent three weeks getting shoved out of a perfectly good airplane. Never did it again after that and it doesn't hurt my feelings a bit.
Owen: I'm the Intelligence Officer for and Engineer Battalion. Their mission is to clear out mines (primary) and give the locals some decent roads (secondary). My job is to figure out who is out...
Thanks for the well wishes! Right now, I view a part of my job making sure that everything remains as dull for the battalion as possible.
It's not real army food, but contracted out to a company...
I didn’t get much rest this weekend. After a long wait of five weeks, the main body has arrived at Baghram. Tiring? Yes. Irritating? Sometimes. A good thing? Definitely. The arrival of a...
*tsk* *tsk* The way you boys in MAC blatantly disregard the laws of physics...;)
Why Sarge, you're sounding like an OSI agent ;)
In all reality, you'll find that most folks in my field don't take ourselves that seriously. I remember getting a visit from a CI agent doing a...
I hear ya, Sarge. Good on the running. It's gonna sound funny coming from a doggy, but I suck at running. I can ruck march all day, but I consistently score in the low 60s during the 2-mile run...
"Blue Falcon" is a euphamism for a nastier noun with the same initials: "Buddy F-". Now for the record, let me state that I was not Soldier X, Y, or Z. I just so happened to be sharing dinner...
Sounds like a plan, fellas. I'll be done in a little over a year (unless they extend me or my civilian job sends me somewhere horendous :( ). You know, I just realized something - I've been outseld...
Meet Soldier X. A few days before deploying to Afghanistan, Soldier X had far too much to drink. To Soldier X’s credit, he had a designated driver, Soldier Y, drive him back to the Fort. Along the...
Lancer: Be very careful, bud, I may just take you up on that offer. I'm glad that you liked the first installment. The second one is a little more anecdotal than informative. What can I say? It...
Krys: Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the well-wishes.
Aslan: It's been only 4 weeks in country and I'm missing the West already. Funny you should mention Canadian peace keeping operations -...
Shosa: Thanks for the best wishes. IEDs can be scary but a good common sensical (if there is such a word) approach is "if you didn't drop it, don't pick it up"
Sundowner: Glad you enjoyed it. ...
Last Friday, I took a trip to Kabul. Kabul lies some 63 miles southwest of Bagram. It was a convoy of SUVs that got us there.
First, let’s talk about the rules of the road in Afghanistan. There...
Nico: Hey there! It's good to hear from you! I'll be back in time...
Greg: Not a problem, bud!
Bouncy: Thank for the impromptu CTT ;)
Sarge: It's gonna be my first time in that AOR. I...
Sarge: I haven't heard anything official yet, but scuttlebutt has me in Afghanistan. If you see an Army captain named "Biggins" sporting the shafted pansy sitting in your cargo netting trying to...
Well fellas, I got a call the middle of this week and It looks like I'm gonna be CPT Biggins for the time being. Be good to each other. If I get internet capability, I'll be checking in from time...
Happy Birthday!
