These are my official orders!!! so i dont have to worry about NOT going to Fort Knox. I talked to MAJ Campbel this morning after PT and he said that the "FWD" part of my unit stands for FORWARD, which means I will be a forward deployed combat weapons logistician. so much for smoking cigarettes in the motor pool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

i will also be going to BOLC 2 at Fort Benning, GA on 8 Sept. and will be there til 24 OCT. So as of May 29, my career starts gentlemen. Rest assured, ole man Tuck will ALWAYS have his DMCG with him! You boys know it!!!


Also, look for tons of pictures on 8 May 2009, when I swear in and commission!!!

The Horror! The Horror.

okay civilians, join me in this, it's what we owe:

I salute and thank you, Recon Seed, for the service you're doing all Americans. Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, never forget that you're never forgotten. ALL the right people know where their freedom comes from. When you accept your commission, you're accepting it not just from our great armed forces, but from the people who support those forces. You honor us all with your courage and spirit. If you're not America, I don't know who is.

Hip-hip...

HOORAY!

Yes Recon Seed......

Thank you for loyal service to our country so my family and I can enjoy all the great comforts, freedoms, and opportunities we so often take for granted. My you be safe in your service, and return home in the best of health.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

In addition to the armor supplied by the Army, read Ephesians Chapter 6.

The battle is not just physical, but it is between those who would do good and let men be free, and those who wish to rule the world and destroy western civilization.

May God Bless and Protect those who Serve.
