yeah. During OIF 03 I was in 801st MSB. We recovered all the IED damaged vehicles, handled everything that was shipped in AND did all calibrations. Were you there when that NUT (SGT Ackbar) threw those grenades in the DIV TOC in Kwait? My guys had to hunt and clear our areas to find him. Or when Geraldo Rivera told our convoy route on CNN prior to G Day? Or when we caught those guys dumping 55Gal Drums of chemicals in the Euphrates? Or the trailers they were making chemical weapons????

I think it was in '05 when my unit (61st Eng Det) got sucked up into the 501 STB, which included the Div HQ. For OIF I, I was on FOB Freedom in Mosul, we were the "map dudes", I think we ate some of the same dirt my friend.

I was in... DISCOM
B Co 426th FSB 93 to 98
C Co 801st MSB 98 to 04
HHC 501st SIG 04 to 05
I was also in the change over / reorganization when we renamed all the units!
All in all I spent 12 years there (not counting deployments) I loved the 101st.
I went through 3 promotions while I was there so it will always be 1st in all my duty locations!

I have to say that I love the 101 & AASLT stickers you put on the fenders. Stuff like that makes me miss the 101st. When were you there and what unit were you with?
