I deserve it. I meant every word of it, just directed towards idiots like Taverner. If I'd have seen the +6/-1 on ADs rep, I'd have figured out he was responding to Taverner's dumb ass, but I can't see hi5's/BS's on Tapa and wasn't too familiar with ADs. I ASSumed poorly.  :-)

I can't speak for AD, but I imagine it's all good, people make mistakes.

Avionics actually, one time it was classified as signal, 35k I believe then when I was in it was 68n, I think it went back to 35K a couple years back though. So I was both signal and a rotor head.  :-)

I was in 11th when we had the east/west EAC. 63rd and 67th battalions at Gordon, 40th and 86th battalions at Huachuca. We'd have a sat shot on brigade exercises.

Those were fun links to put in.  I was a team chief on a 93 van when orders came down for the Kingdom of Kuwait.  I requested Korea....

I still remember my first real problem as a leader.  One of my team members managed to get himself locked up in Mexico.  He drove across the border, for some reason, with his hunting rifle in the trunk of his car.  Nothing a $400 bribe didn't remedy.  He actually wondered why I was standing there with my hand out on pay day.

We had the 235th signal company in the 67th that did that Kuwait rotation. I was a 74G but worked as a 31F. Even had a certain asst. section sgt, and now best friend, get it on my AARTS transcript as cross-training in the TTC-39D(v)2. I was a team chief. This was when I was in B Co. They pulled me up to HHC to manage that POS BN CSCE, and all company CSCE's.

Just be glad you weren't with 3ID.  In the 101st we only sang the Division song at special events, in 3ID we got to belt out 'Dog-Faced Soldier' every damned day at the Reveille PT formation, and as many other times a day as they could work it in.
