You got to send that story to RUSH Limbaugh about Col Honore and him smoking a cigar while he was in his sleeping bag, great story.

OK, I will then :)

Here's another story:

In the summer of 1996 when he was the Brigade Commander of 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, we had a field exercise called "Marne Focus."

Well, Georgia gets VERY hot and humid in the summer, and COL Honore wanted to make sure everybody got ice, it was one of his command priorities for the exercise.

So, he picked a 2LT (one of my buddies) to personally drive a truck and deliver ice to every location the brigade had soldiers in the field. That's all he did for a month. Honore called him the "ICEMAN" hahahaah

From then on, for a long time, everybody called the poor guy "ICEMAN."
