Introduction

Hello,
My name is Joe, and I am a SGT in the 917th CSG. My best friend “Casper” (shameless name dropping) turned me onto this site.

I grew up in a small town in Missouri. I led a pretty normal life until the events of 9/11 sparked my patriotism and I joined the Army.

At the moment I am serving in Iraq. I am a Black Hawk crew man that has never worked on a single Black Hawk. I have faith in the Army that I am better serving the nation as a wireless network tech/ driver/ TC/ gunner than as a wrench turner. My MOS doesn’t fit to well into a CSG, so I volunteer for just about any mission to keep me busy.

I would have preferred flying NAP of the earth with a Minigun in my hands, but being in the gunner’s box (AKA Hardox coffin) of a 998 going through Mosul with a pedestal mount is a close second.

I consider myself capable of doing just about anything I set my mind to. There are very few things in this world that I’m not sure if I could do. Doing what you guys do, is one of those things. I don’t know how, or why you do it, but thanks the all the same.

-Joe
