1993-1996 I was a Sapper in the 84th Engr Co. stationed in Ft . Polk,La. I never did any combat time or went overseas but I want to thank all my fellow Sappers for putting their lives at risk for our country! Hoah!! Always Ready!
I was in 4th Squadron 2nd SCR from its earlier days as 2-14 CAV back at Ft Lewis to July 2009. Gotta say it truly is the “best damned squadron in the Army” and here I am in TRADOC at Ft. Sill, OK really missing it. Never been so damned proud of any other unit like I was(still am) of 4-2 SCR. They took care of me there. Col. Aguto, if your reading this, love ya sir! Look forward to me coming back to it soon!
And I miss my MEV Stryker!
