Your writing is from the same period I was active and I'm getting this weird nostalgia from your stories, reminding me of the guys I served with that hit my unit in Bragg 6-12 months before I did and went on the deployment I missed, telling me their good and bad stories over beers in the barracks and long day's in the motorpool.

I haven't talked to any of those dudes in well over a decade and I don't think I ever will again, so in a way your stories are reminding me of the friends I've lost due to time and distance.

Thanks, man.

Ha!
Not sure who/where you were at Bragg, but I spent my time with D 3/325

I wasn't in Division, I was with 101st Chem under XVIII ABC. They went with 1st MEU and had just finished demobing when I in-processed in Jan 04.

I got orders to Korea right before they stop-lossed for round 2 in 05. Is there a term for that "I didn't deploy" guilt I've had for almost 20 years?

edit: weird derail, sorry

Jesus gently caress, the tazmanian devil story is both depressing and loving hilarious. I can visualize the "drat, our bad dude" to the family lol
