Thanks for the great link. this stuff is awesome i cant get enough

I have the program. You headed to Afghanistan soon?

Appreciate the feedback- I'll chew on this. Of course the most challenging aspect is instilling those intangible attributes in young recruits- getting them to 'buy in'. I saw some stats from a survey conducted last year polling new recruits in basic training asking why they joined. Boredom, seeking ...

This is an open question to everyone from Fire Team Leader to CSM, PL to BN CDR; IF YOU HAD TO limit three key and essential skills and/or attributes that Privates should be instilled with upon graduation from Infantry OSUT- what would you want? What are they lacking when showing up to their first u...

I've been doing the Operator Sessions since early March. Consider myself in pretty good shape (for a 41 y/o), but I have yet to finish any of the workouts in the recommended 50-60 minutes; usually takes 90+ min to complete. Stretching, changing weights, setting up equipment etc all eat time-- is any...

For a six of beers of your choice, do you remember the code word on the EXCHECK for P-hour?

VERY easy one; do you remember the Objective name for Bashur Airfield (DZ)?

Hard to believe that you-know-who is now CSM of the BDE. I'd give a couple teeth to go back...

take care,

SB Roger all. Some so-labeled 'geniuses' or 'architects' of successful counterinsurgency tours are likely the guys with the savvy to actually read doctrine, study previously successful campaigns, and say the right buzz words and catch-phrases repetitively to their favorite reporters. But then again,...

Invictus- Roger, I see what you're driving at. I haven't read it, but from what I gather I do not think this book is so much of a condemnation of specific policies, or even naming previous commanders as 'failures' (it aint a hack job). I would bet COL Caraccilo does however bring forth anectotal evi...

Silverback- Have you read this one? I saw it a few weeks ago and thought about buying it. I shot an email to COL C. about a month ago, and it looks like he is headed to Drum to be the 10th MTN Chief of Staff. That guy is a glutton for punishment.

Articles like that go in my kitbag. The Pericles Funeral Oration is fricken right on; I am copying that too. I think there must be a handful of other MOHs in the process of being investigated, and or going through the approval process. Not to detract from the spirit of this thread at all, but I have...

I first saw the Dancing Outlaw documentary about...ten years ago. It is almost unbelievable; you couldnt write that shit on SNL. I still giggle like a mental patient when I put that tape in to show my friends who havent seen it.

Posted by Mike175 " Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Inside the Jihad The Guts to Try - Untold Story of the Iran Hostage Rescue Imperial Grunts The Five Fingers The Bourne Identity " Wow. It has been almost 15 years since I read Zen, and about 20 years since I read The Five Finger...

Few years ago they were selling 'dammit stumps' (cypress? cannot remember) with the 6th RTB logo, and a gator carrying a walking stick. Bunch of newly tabbed Rangers lined up to buy them, cause the chick selling 'em was wearing daisy dukes, about 20 years old smoking hot, and passing out super-sized...

A good book was "The War Lover" by John Hersey; rival B17 pilots over Europe in WWII. I burned through this in about two days on a deployment once. Picked it up at the USO in the free books pile. Made in to a movie in the early '60's starring Steve McQueen. "The Power of One" by ...
