A 98C is an Electronic Warfare Signals Intelligence Analyst. Fancy name for someone who locates the enemy so the real soldiers can kill them. Our motto was "Battle for Knowledge". Or "in God we trust... All others we DF", depending on how long the soldier had been in.

In our quest for the best POC, we gave up the chance for an M577 armored (kinda) vehicle, and instead chose to put a plywood hut on the back of an Humvee. Why? Because then we could actually continue operating when on the move. We knew we were dead if the enemy came, but the concept of getting the info to the shooters took precedence. Armor would have slowed us down, and kept us from the appointed mission. That was not acceptable. And during that time frame, war with the NKs was most likely. Saddam suprised the heck out of everyone.
