Why not introduce yourself, fill out your profile, and PM him directly yourself.
Did you really tell him that it was a tank?

Thanks Reaper!
Going back on this one I would say yes…By day three we had to try and authenticate all possible targets due to friendly fire. At that distance it did have the silhouette of a tank. I'm sure being up for three days straight had a little affect on the eyes and judgment. The only reason we had authorization to fire on it without a solid ID, was due to our forward position. We where the only ones who could see through the black smoke so we had the pleasure of leading the TFR push. If it was in front of us it was a threat.

Good times, old friend, good times.
Rodney was my squad leader, and an outstanding Marine that made me a better Marine. He was the kind of guy that exemplified Marine Corps leadership. His leadership during those months was critical in shaping me as a Marine, and even now as a soldier.
Good talking to you tonight. I'll get those pictures to you ASAP.

AM,
It looks like he's starting to track...
That's way more than some.
Being an old (for real) cat skinner, I'm glad I never had the problems that the one in this story did.
