Fondest Memory From Deployment: Sergeant First Class Simon hooked up a wireless keyboard to my computer when I wasn’t at my desk. When I got back in he started to mess with me! Anytime I would try and do something, he would hit Alt Ctrl Del and log me out. I was very worried that my computer had a virus and I was freaking out over it. I figured that if I tried to log into my e-mail account by typing faster that it would work. Sergeant Poche and Sergeant First Class Flowers were sitting in the corner trying to stifle their laughter and were even calling people from other battalions to come in the office and watch Simon mess with me!

Fondest Memory From Deployment: When the paladins fired the first time and no one knew that it was outgoing fire! I was in a spaghetti strap t-shirt and I threw my bullet proof vest on, grabbed my weapon, and headed outside. Two guys grabbed me and threw me in the bunker. I wanted to tell everyone in my section that I was OK. I pulled a mission impossible, low crawl and all, and made my way over to Sergeant Wilson who was laughing hysterically when I got there!
