Just wondering if any of QP's on board would share any non-classified stories or memories of Robin Sage. Again, thanks to all of you have served or are serving our country. I'm hopeful that one day my son may too bear title: Quiet Professional. God Bless!

I did robin Sage in August somewhere near Troy. We had heat category 5 every day. We still trained but the G's that were in the base camp were allowed to lay up sorry and eat watermelons from a nearby watermelon patch all day. After about two days, we made sure the missions left the base camp early and all the gs went out! I also learned just how wild the summer thunderstorms can be here in NC. I was in a hammock about 50 feet from a longleaf pine that had the top blown off of it. I learned a new respect for lightning that day!
Your son is getting the best instruction from the best soldiers in the Army so he is in very capable hands. You should be very proud that your son decided to serve this country during a time of war and that he chose Special Forces.
Good Luck Sir!!
