Gentlemen,
My current assignment has provided me with the fabulous opportunity to train along side some of your former colleagues. Some of the finest men I've ever had the pleasure to work with and learn from. It is my pleasure to be in your company.
STAY SAFE

Hello all.
I followed a link here from SOCNET, where I go by Dan. I intend to read, learn, and post VERY sparingly.
Thank you,
Dan

Missed this....
OK, I missed this thread totally because it's in a section I normally don't visit...my bad.
Anyway, 19K....probably the only DAT here (Tank Boy nickname thanks to NDD). Guard/Reserve time coming up on 13 years. My unit rounds out the 11th ACR (BLACKHORSE!) so yup I'm one of those OPFOR guys using hollywood names instead of grids at NTC.  Not eligible yet for the "diamond" but doing the work and waiting for TIS to kick in.....thanks for a great site.
p.s. SPAM rules!

Introduction
Howdy folks,
Name's Evan and I'm lounging around on my 10 days of leave prior to Arabic school. Just wanted to drop a thank you note, as I've been lurking on SOCNET, and now on this site, since I signed up, and I have benefitted tremendously from the wisdom and experience here.
Thanks!
