Well it is now official and Public Knowledge

[Cav Scout]

I take my platoon Downrange Afghanistan in late December 09.

We just finished up three and a half weeks of qualification and ARTEP MTP evaluations.
According to the knuckleheads in Yakistan we were the sharpest they have ever seen...(this from reservist who have not ever been anywhere, so take that for what it is worth), but the men are stoked and I did manage to accomplish something that I do not believe any other PSG has done in a while, Qualed all men expert in IWQ and all Truck crews above 900 (out of a thousand) even the MK 19's. I am extraordinarily proud right now to say the least.

Somehow I knew you were going to be the first to respond to this...:cool:

This time I am ready for ya! Before we leave you are going to receive a special gift, since I still have your old address.

LA, you are by far the most amazing supporter a Soldier downrange could ever have and that is simply that.

So for a futer thank you, here is to you! :flag:

[lkz]

We are all proud of you and your men. Be careful over there. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks to all the men and women in our armed forces for all they do.

[loupgarou1317]

May you and your troops aim be true and all come home the same as you left.....:flag:

Ahhh, I don't need anything, I just need you to go, give the dirtbags hell and come home safe!!! It's after 1am here and I keep thinking about your last tour in Iraq, are you going to be with the same team, by chance? :think: You guys were really good together and all came home safe! It would be nice knowing you were together again out on all those patrols you do!

[Adlerian Thinker]

Shoot straight, and keep your powder dry!

[dave rogers]

Well done to you and your soldiers. Give em hell and come home safe.

I actually have some regret about that, my team, as it were, is no more. I transfered to Montana when I got back the last time because of issues with the chain of command or lack there of, and we have gone on to grow in different directions. As you knew PFC Fry, he is now a Sergeant and a team leader himself back in Iraq as we speak, I correspond with him weekly and he is doing well.
SPC Detavinier is now believe it or not Dr. Detavinier and in his second year as a first class shrink helping us dogs of war live in the real world.
I actually lost one of my other team leaders to a silly and wrong shoot out in Rock Springs Wyoming, he was a police officer and gave all on duty.
So it is in a bittersweet way I remember my platoon from the last deployment.

Most of those that went with me the last time are living well and doing well in the civilian world. I miss them.

It is a new group of Warriors that I lead now, and a good bunch. They shall shine all on their own. I do have one from the last deployment that went with me to Montana, and he is one of my Section Sergeants. Ross, reminds me of myself and is often my check and balance as I have no LT.

Your needing anything is not really relevent, lol. Long about Christmas, ware the presents.

Good luck to you, Cav Scout, and your team. Come home safe.

Well, I'll look for that "something extra" to put in that package I hope to send your way this next week, but I'm having trouble finding the "one size fits all" pink silky boxers with "I LUV NY" on them! ;) That may have to be a deployment shipment unless they are now issuing them "in theater," hard to tell with you Army types.

As you knew PFC Fry, he is now a Sergeant and a team leader himself back in Iraq as we speak, I correspond with him weekly and he is doing well. Wow, unbelievable! PFC Fry a Sgt!?!?!?! He was just a young thing, looked like a kid, Cav! I am so glad you mentored him because I know he'll be just fine and do a good job! Give him my congrats and let him know how proud I am of him!!!
SPC Detavinier is now believe it or not Dr. Detavinier and in his second year as a first class shrink helping us dogs of war live in the real world. Sheesh, he looked like a happy guy yet a get it done big fella, Cav, somehow I can't picture him in a big chair listening to someones problems! :think: When you see him tell him "hi" for me and give him my best wishes for maximum success!
I actually lost one of my other team leaders to a silly and wrong shoot out in Rock Springs Wyoming, he was a police officer and gave all on duty.
So it is in a bittersweet way I remember my platoon from the last deployment.So sad, sorry for your loss, our nations loss! May he rest in peace.

I have NO DOUBTS they'll be the best because they have a leader who's dedicated, really cares about his men and the mission! :flag:

Hummm! :think:

Speaking of Christmas, you mention late Dec. in the op, will you get Christmas in with the family before leaving? I sure hope so!!!
