I also recall wondering to myself why we were the only unit who had to wear our armor . . (minus plates).

And then I looked at my left shoulder.

Our OC/T reccomended that we send a couple of guys into that building, as there was VERY LITTLE to do during the days leading up to the actual defense, to see if any of the 18 series guys wanted to train some of us legs on some cool stuff. We never went in, but I suspect would have been viewed as a nuisance.

That must have been when they were training with the Sim rounds, we were held up at east gate for a couple of hours because they didn't want us in there during those times, one of the funniest incidents i had was that we were tasked with running traffic to Shuggart/Gordon (Sangari) the village where the final battle was and I three older females in the van and we run upon a Stryker unit from the 25th inf. They wanted us to turn around, I refused and told them we had no other place to go but Dara Lam we sat there for thirty minutes constantly antagonizeing these guys, the Oc/t was laughing the whole time and asked me how long we were going to do this, I told him all day if he wanted, then the unit sent 2 sgts over to tell us to leave and the old ladies with us started in on them with hey were just a bunch of old ladies and we need to get home so we can pee that oc/t lost it right there and they finally let us through

Oh and how about the jump in, I wonder what happened to that jump master that jumped them in too early, there were 10 plus in the trees on the south end with winds blowing to the North when we were headed out they were trying to get one wounded out of the trees who had a broke leg and ribs, another was on the ground non responsive
