guy i knew
 

a guy i knew in highschool, i just found out has joined the US Rangers and is being sent to Iraq. didnt know him TOO well, but still. thought you'd like to know.

Good luck to him.

are you trying to say that you are surprised he became a ranger? oOo:

just suprised he chose rangers. he talked about joining the marines

My cousin is in the Navy doing PJ training, I think hes goign to like A school now or something, learning all the electronics on Blackhawks and Seahawks etc.
A kid who lived next to me in my dorm was sent to Kuwait in november.
A kid I went to highschool with just barely got out of BT and found out he was being sent to Iraq to try and take a town that a special forces group failed to take(how would you feel doing that)
A Kid I sometimes party with here got back form Iraq not too long ago.

People in the service are earning their pay right now and they know what they sign up for. Hopefulyl no more people die but its their line of work. Gl to the kid you kinda knew.

I know about 5 friends that have been send to either iraq or afghanistan in the last couple of years. 1 is being deployed there next month i believe. No big deal really. Just hope they come home!

sorry to grave dig and all but I got an update on that kid I knew from highschool that was sent to Iraq. In the past week he was one of the people seriously injured in a bombing in Iraq. He was standing with a friend or someone and a bomb went of right next to them killing his friend and putting him in the hospital with a bunch of broken bones. this war has finally hit home for me.

thats rough, hope hes ok and gets a ride home. you talk to him?

no I havent talked to him. He talked to a couple people I know though over the phone. Im kinda hoping he gets sent home.

Sad.

Hope he gets better.

That sucks, man. Hope he's alright.


My cousin was in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain for the past few months. He got back a while ago.

Pointless, hopefully he comes back.
