You beat me to it.

I know a lot of the guys down there and they are all stand up guys. However, that chicken-sh*t move (MOO) was conducted while those of us from C/5/19 were deployed to Iraq in 07/08. To this day, I cannot see the logic behind making that move. We had just finished adding new team rooms and huge DOD/FED-certified vault. Besides, TX already had a company from 1/19 located in the same building. Now they have two companies in there. Whatever coke deal was made between CO, TX and 5/19, it was without the input of the men of C/5/19.

Frankly, HQ/5/19 and the state of Colorado have been increasingly disappointing over the past 15 years or so. At the rate they are going, all of 5/19 is going to be in TX because CO sure as hell doesn't seem to want them. I never thought the state of Colorado would have gotten tired of siphoning off of such a nice meal ticket.

Meh! I'm just bitter.
