It should be shown in your 2-1. Is there a message or anything you can cite for that? I have never seen anything about the Army Chief of Staff approving it. And if it was approved, I would think it would only apply to being in Bosnia during Operation Allied Force. Sorry, been retired for awhile and forget what all the ridiculous acronyms stand for.

Then someone should tell the troops of the 121st Signal Battalion this. I PCS'ed to that unit about six months after they returned from Bosnia and not once did anyone wear the 1st ID patch on their right shoulder for having spent a tour in Bosnia. And I was in that unit for three years. Knew several troops who deployed down there during the first wave in December 1995 who I ran into in January 1998. No right shoulder patch. snip again! Dave - You can talk about us but you can't talk without us!

Well, shit! I want mine then! I've always tied my boots correctly and never dribbled (are we playing basketball or what?) while eating breakfast.

Infantry, armour, artillery Ah, okay. You're still planning to fight World War II, eh?;-) Anyway, there are females in the Signal Corps and we often train to roll with infantry and armor units. In fact, the SEN teams in my old signal company were all tasked to roll with various maneuver units to include one assigned to 1/26th Infantry. And there were females on all the SEN teams.
I wonder if those troops who were killed in Saudi when that Scud hit their barracks thought they were on the front line. Dave - You can talk about us but you can't talk without us! Signal Corps!!

That's probably because gay men can't stand to have women underfoot.;-) On the other hand, it is true that American women are tougher than most of the men. Well, maybe smarter would be a more accurate characterization. They certainly have convinced many men they're in need all sorts of special laws etc. To 'protect' them. However, I can bitch slap and pull hair with the best of 'em, the women that is. Wd krasus 21/6/2001, 11:16 น.

That's probably because gay men can't stand to have women underfoot.;-) 10 years of so called 'equality' has shown that women are not as effective as men in an infantry role. Women should simply accept it - shut the fuck up - and move on. They can of course serve in other roles, and indeed do - but they cant cut it in the infantry. [email protected] 22/1/2017, 12:46 น.
