Quoted: I know that our pilots tote around M4's, and when I am on DART I carry an M4 and M9, but I am also on Active duty and apart of the 82d Abn Div. Hopefully they don't stick you with just an M9. Good Luck over there! A buddy of mine just came back from Balad and he said it wasn't that bad there. But then again he is in the AF as a firefighter!

Well that is who I fall directly under, we even wear the 18th AVN patch (and beret) even though we are NG. I was dissapointed to hear that we will be mob-ing at Hood instead of Bragg, I was looking forward to running my ol' stompin grounds again.
I have heard talk of M4's too, but I would be happy with even an M16. I can make my own M4
with their lower. I have also been told that we will be getting an M9 as well, but I am one of those wait and see types.
This will be my first deployment with an aviation unit. I have always heard that they go in style, I guess I will soon see exactly what style that is?????
I too am optimistic about this whole thing. I am looking forward to all the training. And eager to get in country and finally get combat experience whatever it may bring.
And Hell, I am even gonna get my E7 while over there too
