We olde Medics don't have cool stories like that because we were out pulling DZ or Range coverage or going to the field with this team or that team because of a general Medic shortage!

Thats' true, but ya got to do more than the good ol priority of support

Hell, Ft Bragg looked like "Better Homes and Gardens" when we got done with it.

We used to get a kick out of some private or Sr NCO from Div when they saw Sr SFC's and MSG's out there doing post support....they're like...WTF....over..

We'd tell them ya get bennies when your a Sr NCO in Gp....ya get to use the power tools....the manually operated ones are for the lower EM's..

When we were out at Mott Lake we used to do all the demonstrations for who was in town at the time....Rotary Club, Wives Club, some VIP or what not.
I got a funny one. I was doing commo support onetime out at Mott Lake and was watching porno movies with some of the instructors at lunch time when LTC Tangney walked in and was mortified. There were no more pornos watched out there. A few weeks later he walked in again and we were watching the best of the Three Stooges. I can't remember exactly what he said but he didn't like that either.

The man had no sense of humor.

We 7th Group guys had developed a taste for cabrito chili with our Balboa.

3/5 SIGDET SFC Steve L. my Detachment Sergeant, forget the SIGO's name.

ODA 593 C/3/5 MSG Rick W. Team Sergeant

When I arrived to GRP the first thing I saw was a bunch of older gentlemen on riding lawn mowers, pushing mowers, and whacking weeds. I walked up to one of them, didn't know rank cause their BDU tops were off, and asked for directions to Bn S1. He pointed the way, shook my hand saying, "Welcome to 5th Mech" and smiled. I said, "thanks sergeant". He corrected me, "It's SGM".

I miss that about Group and the Teams, you all did your share and you had fun doing whatever with your brothers.

Also, if anyone knows Tony P. "Bucket-head" from 594 back in the day. I am wondering if he is doing ok. He patiently taught me how to shoot a pistol to a higher degree as well as advanced my knowledge on commo.

I hear that Bucket is doing well.........He received a Silver Star for actions during the early days of Afghan.
