Thanks for your service and sacrifice SS. We all owe you a debt that can never be repaid.

Thank you sir I appreciate that but I am a tiny piece with countless others who have done much more.

They arent candy canes they are AIMING POLES!!!

I wont even say sorry about your buddy, just that I know what that feels like. ****ing sucks.

Yeah whatever you say. I know you guys like to play Candyland but you can do that after work.

I wasn't trying to bring that into this (though I know you know that) but through him I got to do and learn some pretty sweet mortar stuff. You're definitely right about not wanting them until you need them though. That was our (and all 11Bs) mentality haha. The sad reality is it's almost a guarantee if you are infantry (and even most jobs) that you lose someone. KIA bracelets are all too common. I ****ing hate the Army for that.

Steve,
If you were with 1-32inf, we spent time in the same resort homes of the Kunar prov.

I got lucky, was in a mortar platoon in basic, but our cycle required more 11B - so got through as 11B instead of charlies. Very glad, as that was my preference.

I was in 1-87 more north.

Can you join as 11B now? If so that's pretty sweet instead of 11X. I know I hoped (and did) to get B and not C.

Good luck, Guitar. I didn't know you joined. Just know everything after Basic gets harder and more serious haha. At least you're not there for the summer heat!

ya, as far as Im trackin you enlist as 11x... we didnt find out whether we were going 11b or 11b till like halfway through reception at 30th
