A couple of months ago I found my original combat shirt I had from Viet Nam service in 1969-1970. The collar is a little "frayed" now ~ LOL~

And YES, or squadron insignia was a "Pregnant Rat"!!!

I have actually had military collectors try to buy this shirt from ME; but it means MORE to ME than it every could to them....!

Very Cool!

This was so cool to see this on here. I too am a ComCam guy. I know a place that shirt would forever be on display and shown to all those that will follow in our foot steps. I'm actually an instructor at DINFOS now teaching the craft.

Thank you for your service!

I also happen to be a graduate of NAVSCOLEOD (just over 8 years ago) one of the most challenging schools out there :thumbs_u: I congratulate him!

The EightyDeuce is the ONLY one that matters!!! (sorry if I offended any legs)
That was a pretty BA "Combat Jump" you guys made into OIF 1 :roll: I know the guys on ground were thrilled to secure the area so 82nd could jump in

What? This can't be right. The news tell me soldiers only rape and pillage, That we are only there for oil and to destroy the culture. You were doing recon right? For your next "destroy all" mission.


Your signature "National Guard is awake" is funny. In 2003 on the stone gates entering the palace in Tikrit was a phrase very similar. Your signature instantly made me think of it and the fact an Iraq citizen must have cringed every time they read it and we take it as a comfort statement.

A VERY old lady patted me on the shoulder and wrote that phrase on my napkin while I was eating a late night meal under a GP medium tent in the aftermath of Hurricane Fran in 1996. She was a volunteer at a makeshift dining facility. I was a second lieutenant on my 22nd day of clean up detail...

never will forget that
