I want to thank EVERYONE for all the good words on my embed with my combat alma mater, the legendary 2nd Marine Division.
I will be spending as much time as possible on ops and patrol, once again walking the walk, which I have missed. The 2nd MarDiv was very kind to accept me back for a visit, given my DAV status (50% disabled), but I will do everything I can to bring home the truth.
And my employer, Clear Channel, is very cool to agree to send me and, frankly, risk an asset to get to the truth.
Shoot to maim.
Well, well, not only a FReeper, but a real-live radio persona, too!
And you're coming to MY neighborhood? Interesting...
If you get the chance to come all the way over to Ramadi, look me up. We'll hoist a near-beer at Machine Gun Joe's, and mark the occasion. Queries to the 2nd BCT PAO would be a place to start, FReepmail for details.
I admit, we're not Marines here, only fat-a$$ National Guardsmen that don't rate the admiration of most FReepers, but I digress...
