Thank you for the invite. I am the proud father of a 21 year old combat medic who is now part of the 1-25th Stryker Brigade Support Battalion. She arrived there on Christmas Eve as replacement. Sounds like some here may have loved ones at the same base (FOB Marez). She (we) are two weeks into this and I haven't adjusted as yet, but she is loving it and proud to be where she is. Her time is spent working in the TMC by day and guard towers by night. She has commented that she is amazed at the quality of people around her, and bet she is speaking of some of those already mentioned on here. I will enjoy checking in.
He's with Co. C of the 1-25th Stryker Brigade.
I wouldn't be surprised if they run into each other.
