Odd, 2006-era Air Force guys attached to low speed Army Airborne units didn't wear ACUs. Navy guys did, though.

Easy to spot the Air Force guys... they had all the expensive gear, rides with AC, and wore sew-shop jazzed DCUs with a zillion chevrons.

...

I guarantee they'll put that battle in history books. Kids in BCT will be told of that for the next couple decades.

I'm glad to see awards being issued to people that actually accomplished something. Real GI Joes eating shit sandwiches and smiling.

I got sick of watching POS LTs and E6+ being awarded Bronze Stars for doing absolutely nothing during a year-long gypsy deployment where they should have been sent back to CIF to pick up their basic soldier skills instead of making SHTF decisions like a teen girl standing in front of her walk-in closet before a date.
