As I was stuck in my bunker wondering whats going on today, I owe several cases today for these fine young soldiers from the 1/187th.

Quoted:
My compadres over in 20th Group were out doing there part also. Body count is now 31 EKIAs. One enemy penetrated within 200m of my hooch and he was armed to the teeth along with a sucide vest. Infantry26- What group is your brother in? CD Redacted based on IM For the record, I spent last year in and out of SAL...I fucking can't stand the gay siren and the sometimes silly force pro levels. Whenever it got retarded, I'd escape to a fun little COP with some of my guys on it. |

1/187 was my old BN.
A little trivia for you: The CPT for whom FOB Chapman was named was the XO of my old company, A/1-87 INF, while we were deployed to Kosovo in 2000. He was killed in Afghanistan, during a training mission, while assigned to 3rd SFG (A). It would be truly fitting if it were soldiers from Abu who fought off the Taliban attack. Rakkasans! |
Looks just like a joe, boots and all.
