Author Message   Sifo Posted on Monday, January 30, 2012 - 05:57 pm:        I just think this is way cool. My two nephews are met in Afghanistan. One just got there for his second tour. One should be coming back soon, to Alaska anyway. Just had to share. As you were.   Mtjm2 Posted on Monday, January 30, 2012 - 06:09 pm:        Sifo , +1 to those boys .

Please elaborate- looks like one is Army, dunno about the other, but different issue camo. "Brothers"... Heck- are they twins? Got the same shit~eating grin.   Brinnutz Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 01:32 am:        Soldier on the left, Marine on the right. I'll be over there this fall as my turn has come...   Mr_grumpy Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 02:48 am:        So that's what, a Grunt & a Jarhead? Good luck to em, stay safe.   Xdigitalx Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 09:50 am:        Thats cool they crossed paths. Stay safe.   Sifo Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 10:19 am:        Thanks for the kind thoughts. Both are in fairly safe details for being in a war zone. The Marine is doing maintenance on C-130s. The Soldier is part of a security detail for some of the brass that travels around the area. He's the one I would have worried about. He's got lots of training that could put him into very dangerous situations. I guess all of it combined got him a pretty good detail. The Marine BTW scored the highest marksmanship score of his company of 350 people. Both of them when they were younger would take off for days at a time to test their survival skills in the woods. No food, no camping gear, etc. No they aren't twins. They are less than a year apart though. It's hard to believe how theses kids who joined the service have grown into very mature men. Best wishes for all who are serving. I hope for them all to get home safe to their loved ones.   Blake Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 12:48 pm:        The epitome of admirable.   Ltbuell Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 02:36 pm:        That's awesome that there paths did cross so that they could meet.Way cool.Tell 'em thanks for what they're doing and be safe.Lt   Sifo Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 - 06:55 am:        Just found this on Flicker. Forgive my gloating a bit. Col. Todd Wood, commander of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, and Command Sgt. Maj. Bernie Knight, CSM of the 1/25 SBCT, promote Michael Kandel, an Infantryman with the Tactical Assault Command of the 1/25 SBCT, to sergeant at Forward Operating Base Masum Ghar on Dec. 2.

Can't wait till he gets his ass home in one piece! ~SM
