I think I've heard about that Sarge, didn't everyone at that camp get a CAR?

 

I hope not, because I got shafted! It wouldn't have qualified anyway, the rocket landed on the outside of the compound. But it was still a bit of a shock.

A big salute to you Sarge, I honor and respect your service and am proud to follow behind you and carry on the tradition :)

Equui semper fidelias. (In proper latin *Yes I took a latin class*)

Ponies always faithful :3

 

Okay, now you're just showing off B)

Semper Filly is the Military Brony's play on words of Semper Fi. We created it during the BronyCon Veteran lunch

 

I spent 8 years in that position building warheads for the Minuteman III ICBM

 

Hey brother, don't sell yourself short. It was guys like you that helped win the Cold War. Thank you.

To answer your question about patching up Marines Nostalgic, I've become desensitized to most of the graphic things you could image. The worst injury I have ever treated was.

 

Censored because its gorey & may not be suitable for children. Don't click that spoiler if you are sensitive to graphic descriptions.

 

A TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) where a Marine's skull had been split, it wasn't from a combat injury either we were at high seas in the middle of the atlantic ocean and he fell from the fourth rack (about 8 feet high) while he was sleeping in a wave's surge, he impacted the steel deck of the boat with his head first. I responded to him first because it happened in the rack aisle just two down from me, I wrapped him up with gause and splinted as much of his skull as much as I could because he was unconscious. We got a stretcher team in there and rushed him to our surgical bay. It took 14 staples to put him back together but he made it out just fine because we were able to treat him within just 30 minutes of the injury. The guy is a good friend of mine today, I was the one who actually put the staples in too.

 

Wow, that is really intense. Loss of words on this one. But I'm very thankful that you were able to save him and that he can continue to breath and function.

Currently a Student Air Weapons Officer with the 552d Air Control Wing, Tinker AFB, OK. Before that I was in undergraduate Air Battle Manager training with the 325th Air Control Squadron, Tyndall AFB, FL. I've never been deployed, as I'm still in training (been having some rough rides lately) and probably wont deploy until the end of the year.

 

Hopefully in the future I'll pick up an instructor billet, and head off to USAF Weapons School to get my patch. After that I'll try to go to NATO AWACS or Alaska, but probably not back to Panama City. A trip back to Nellis as an instructor there would be pretty awesome too.

 

And because I went two years without getting a DUI, I'm getting promoted to 1st LT next month. HOO-RAH!

Sweetie Bell looks a little confused about getting an ABM cutie mark. B)

 

When you get to the box, tell those jokers at Mazr to HTFU and monitor guard from time to time.

Lol, I'll keep that in mind... I've had fighter pilots turn my freq off before. Defs not cool.

 

Also, thats the face most people get when they find out they're going to be ABMs, mainly because they don't know what an ABM is. I knew beforehand and was damn glad for the opportunity, haha.

I wanted to be in Special Force 707 also known as the "White Tiger". I always wanted to be a soldier, all my dreams of being like a warhero or something. But when I grew more mature I learned the truth about warfare and I don't want to kill anyone. So my whole dream was burnt to ashes.

Well, I'll tell you this. Actually engaging in combat is the extreme, and least desirable aspect of warfare. That has been taught since Sun Tzu and taking lives as an instrument of national policy is a lot less sought after, especially by NATO members. For instance, my career field does a lot of counter-narcotic missions in the Caribbean. Most aspects of the military are a shaft supporting a surprisingly small spearhead, but our effectiveness comes from a sense of duty and community that, I would hope, transcends any personal differences we have.

 

My two cents - technique only.

Well, most of you have seen me around before, but here we go:

Joined 1988 in the South Carolina Army National Guard as a 13F (Artillery Forward Observer) Unit, 1/178th FA (Field Artillery)

1994: Left the Guard to join the Regular US Army (Active Duty), Fort Hood, TX, 13F; Units 1/3rd FA, 2nd Armored Division; 4/42nd FA and 3/16th FA 4th Infantry Division

1997: Left Active Duty, went back to the Guard, same unit (1/178th FA)

2002: Got hired on as a Full Time Guard (AGR) member (kind of like Active Duty, but with the Guard).

2004: Deployed to Kuwait / Iraq. Served as a Gun Truck Team Chief and escorted convoys all over Iraq

2007: Promoted to Sergeant First Class (SFC, E-7)

2008: Added 13B (Cannoneer) to my MOS list

2010; Deployed to Afghanistan. Ran the Base Defense Cell at one camp; Assisted in Base Operations at another.

2011: Added 42A (Human Resources Specialist) to my ever-growing lit of MOSs.

Currently the Battalion Human Resources NCO for my Battalion.

 

There, that's Ol' Sarge in a nutshell.

God I miss you buddy, I hope things didn't too bad with the drama that happened and I hope I did ya proud!

I'm just finishing my own deployment to Afghanistan and I have to say after what I went through I have much more understanding and respect for you...

Miss ya Sarge...
