US Army/California Army National Guard 1989-Present.
7 years active duty, 9 National Guard
MOS 11C (Indirect Fire Infantry - Mortarman)
Combat Tour - OIF II - Fire Direction Chief, FOB Kalsu & CSC Scania, Iraq - 1/185th Armor-81st BCT
CSC Scania was a cake walk for 6 months. The other six months at FOB Kalsu were an entirely different story. I've been shooting mortars for 16 years. Being on the receiving end of them is no fun.
Got home in February. Can't say I miss the sandbox...
Captain Wacky - Keep your head down, your body armor on and godspeed to you, young Marine.
