Gents, keep in mind the purpose of this thread was not to bash MI. Not including the Infantry or MI there are 16 other fields (CMFs) in our Army: Field Artillery (FA) Air Defense Artillery (ADA) Signal Armor Cavalry Ordnance Adjutant General (AG) Quartermaster Engineers Transportation Military Police (MP) Medical Chemical Finance Aviation Special Operations

| The two MOSs to be proudest of are Infantry and Combat Medic. However it's a team effort, and anybody who does their job to the best of their ability should be proud to have served.

Ditto on that, TXhis, same boat with me. The only time Ground Surviellance did its job was with the infantry. I have never had anything but admiration for the infantry. The good thing about being with the 82nd is that you spent so much time with your dick in the dirt, you really began to understand the life of an 11b and realize that an army, OUR army is nothing without them. My proudest moments were those times I busted my ass to give you 11 types the intel you needed. And I did bust my ass.
"Do you know against what type of men you'll have to fight? We who dine on sharpened swords and drink down blazing tourches as our wine. Then for dessert they bring us broken Cretan darts and splintered pike shafts. Our pillows are shields and breastplates and beside our feet lie bows and slings. We crown ourselves with catapult wreaths." - Mnesimachus, Macedonian playwrite- 350 BC.

| I want to thank all of you before me, during, after me and especially those who are on active duty right now and in harm's way. You are in my prayers.

Being 11b was the hardest job I ever loved.

Ditto for me Mike! I'll always remember those road-marches back from the field, after already humping your ass off for 3-10 days when it was either hot as hell or cold and raining the whole time and on very little sleep... Especially those last couple of clicks through Area-J to the barracks that would seem like 10... but when everyone got back and turned in weapons, instead of immediatly falling out and hitting the rack, everyone (us young joes anyway) would be heading out for a night of partying, or if it was too late for that we would empty out the beer machine (yes kiddies, we had beer machines in the barracks back | | | |
