F all you Navy mofos!

um...I don't think that turned out quite the way you think it did.

Um ... yes it did. When we took over the triangle of death from 2/101 in Aug '06. It was one of the worst places in Iraq and the fact that 2/101 had incidents of soldiers raping some young girls didn't help. We systematically drove out all the infiltrating in from our southern border (Euphrates River) and western border (out towards Falujah). We had some tough losses and bad days, but we left that area and handed it over to 3/101 in Nov '07 as one of the safest places in Iraq as well as a trained and ready Iraqi Brigade to start doing the patrolling.

So yeah ... it worked out exactly as I said it did. There are a couple books written about the successes of our tour as well as some of the hardships we went through.

The Arizona is indeed a solemn place. I was just as moved however standing on the surrender deck of the Missouri, where the Japs surrendered to MacArthur. For those who haven't been to Pearl Harbor its right there in the same place.

I think we talked about this before, but I started out as a 19D.

A grunt with wheels.

Oldest son, during one of his tours as a Cav Scout in Iraq and this past October (he’s a recruiter now.) We are VERY proud. Go Army!

(His wife is ex-Coast Guard, my brother, sister and their spouses are all retired Navy & daughter’s boyfriend is an active Marine.)

Tell him Thanks for serving his country!

And yet, my first assignment as a 19D was in the 101st. ;)

19D is awesome because you actually do all of the following: 11B, 11C, 12B, 13F...

I think we talked about this before, but I started out as a 19D.

He was 3rd ID, stationed out of Fort Stewart. I think they were tied to ground Cav, tanks, technically, but their missions were all seeking the resistance cells etc. His unit took out the last known Al Quaeda cell in Iraq (at the time).

One of the greatest moments of my life was the welcome home ceremony after his second tour (15-months).

Rock of the Marne! Did a tour in Afghanistan with 3ID. Me and my family before shipping out.

Thank you and your family for the sacrifices and hardships you endured for our nation. Looks like daddy’s girl was not pleased that you were going! I imagine your return was most joyful.

Why do Army guys say hooah all the time. Well that’s just what it sounds like when someone tries to say hello with a cock in their mouth.

Go Navy Beat Army.

Still the most solemn place I've ever been... 10x more than any other cemetery I've been to.

The smell of heavy bunker permeating the air really enhanced the spirit for me.

"he was basically Infantry"

That's what every Cav Scout says, yet never has an Infantryman ever said, he's basically a Cav Scout...

I love military smack talk!

KL250s?

Modified klr650
Correction 250 like you said

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Modified klr650

I've spent a good bit of time on one of those in the desert too. Not the best bike for deep sand though. Decent highway for a dual sport.

She was not happy at all. It was a really tough night, as they all are. That was deployment #3 for me, #2 for her but the first one she understood what was happening. The reunions are always pretty incredible but sad at the same time because some didn't come back with you.

Army wasn't first in either... ;)

shhhhh... first rule of para, is not to talk about para.

;)

I rode one of those two. Not nearly as nice on the road, much nicer in the tough stuff.

well I am both among other MOS as well. Scouts are better. Better mobility, better firepower, requires a bit more intellect too. You can be a tough rock and successful as an 11B. A tough rock will fail as a scout.

11B, 19D, 25A, 38A
