US Army 2001-2008
11B Infantry, SSG
2/3-187 Inf 101st Airborne
Afghanistan Feb-Sep 02/ Iraq 03-04 & 05-06
I was in week 2 of basic training when the planes hit the towers, we all thought the drill sergeants were screwing with us, the next 12 weeks they told us we were all going to die in Afghanistan. Graduated Dec 7, 2001, and was in Afghanistan February 02. Quite an eye-opener, I had been 18 for 5 months when I first touched Afghan soil.
The picture is from the last deployment to Samarra Iraq, the place was like the wild west. If you heard about the golden mosque bombing in 2006, I was right there when it happened. Crazy ass week following that bombing.
