I know, I am a vet and worked for an MI battalion, but I have never heard vets describe their military service like you do, ever.
How you think your experience is anywhere close to Lt. Colonel West’s, is baffling.
Did I say I commanded a battalion? No. Did I work with flag officers, SES, secretaries and higher-ups? Sure did. As for M.I. battalions, I was in the 312th at 1st Cav., the 105th at 5th Mech. and the 102nd at 2nd Division. Also G-2, I Corps (ROK/US) Group (actually a field army, not just a corps, since we had corps under us) and TDY to many other places.
What MOS were you that you worked for an MI battalion?
