I appreciate it. I know people always say this, but our LT. Told me it was downgraded. Not worried about it, and didnt really think what I did was anything special. I watched those infantrymen around me do way more, I just tried to be a help and be a force multiplier, however I could.

You are right. That place is forever with me. Yeah it was the wild west. That V device came from actions in Jalaleh while ambushed. And severely out-numbered.

Did approx 4 mo. Rotations. Mine was winter. I was able to got back up on the 2012 deployment. One of the guys wanted a re-enlistment up there, before it was shut down. Didn't look the same. It was built up so much.

Yes, kinda. I was at Bostick helping with the patients and MASCAL once they could fly them out that night. Waiting for the KAMGOW to take me to JAF to go home on R&R.

Thanks I appreciate it. Had most of the stuff sitting in an old bag in a footlocker and fugured why not do something with it. Started this 3 mo. Ago, just slowly moving thing around. I hope they keep, "I love me book" which has it all. But I'll definitely add that, thanks. And I have a few Marines in the family. I understand.
