The post whore thread.

Good morning Belly! How ya doing?

just reminiscing about the past 12 years of military service. Long road, good times, bad times, 4 years of service in foreign lands.

I'm pretty broken, but I don't think I'd have it any other way.

I saw Mick's thread about days gone past, and it reminds me of my own grandfather.

He served in a Battalion of all Norwegian-Americans in WWII (99th Infantry Battalion Sep.). He was a Company Commander at D-Day, and also fought at the Battle of the Bulge, discovered (in part) the Malmedy Massacre, then later took part in OSS operations in Norway and was a member of the 474th Regimental Combat Team. He was a truly hard core mother-f****r and asked for nothing in return. His example and influence has guided me both into and out of some pretty heavy situations, but I've come out of them with two distinct thoughts about leadership:

Never be too much of an Officer to be a Soldier.

It's OK to be tough, but it's never OK to be mean.

I miss him a lot.

I just pull out the latest American Rifleman, open up to the scariest gun pic in the issue, and they shut the fuck up real quick.
