Roll Call
 

Gents:

I am tired of looking at this empty forum, since I suspect that we outnumber these other guys combined.

Could we get a roll call of the 7th SFGA guys on here?

Presente, Senor!

Re: Roll Call
 

Si!!! Yo Tambien!!!

Medico

Aw, Hell!

There are three of us from the same team, MOL.

What are the odds? :D

Presente y firme!

You know, I STILL hate the Honduran National Anthem, from those early morning wake-ups outside Santa Rosa de Copan.

I have been out on the Mata Mile the last few days, and I told one of the ladies in the office about the SGM's cutoff down by the bridge.

Oops, hijack in progress!!

Roll call

I'm here!

SGM Cutoff, no way!

CSM cutoff LOL a company SGM wouldn't do that.

Hey SFG, I forget to tell you I got an email from your old Senior Commo Man a few days ago. Contact restablished! Our 20 year reunion is coming up.

No, but a lazy Battalion CSM sure would take the short way home.

I got a note from Jerry as well. He said that he is in touch with Dale and Bob V. (before your time). Emailed JT this week. Mike W. Is back in the box as a contractor, IIRC. Thack is still around here as well, I believe. Get mail from Gary O. regularly. I think Butch is somewhere around here, if anyone cares. You probably know what Mark S. is up to. Joe P. was still in Leavenworth, last I heard, and Tony G. got out, but I have no idea where he is. Opie got put out as well. Tim V. is retired and is an instructor at SWCS. Cisco M. called me one day to complain. Rod called me to ask for a job reference a few years ago. No idea on Bob G. or Big Head.

I got an email from Bighead just a couple of days ago, said he was going to get back with me and get caught up, but he hasn't yet. I remember Dale. Bob G. and Butch can get bent. LOL

If you would could you PM me Gary's email? I'd like to say hi.

Thack should be here. Funny SOB. So should Poor Little Sick Timmy.

I haven't heard from Mark since he left. Jerry says he hasn't either.

Thanks for the update. I would have thought that Mark would have stayed in touch with you.

PM sent.

You want to do a 20th, I am all over it!

I think a 20th would be a great idea. And there's just about enough time to set it up. It'll take us two years to break some of them out of the pen. LOL

Or we could just all meet up in the Joint, depending whether most were in, or out.

Go to bed, amigo. Big day tomorrow.

Another 7th Group alumni signing in....

Hogs!:p

I'm sorry, I was busy sipping a rum and coke after dancing with a winsome young senorita, sat down wrong on my briefcase carrying my Travel Advance and missed what you said.

Could you get the sand out of your mouth and repeat it?

That's exactly why we hated you all.

I could not fill out a TDY voucher to save my life, when I got SWC...had to have a 7th guy fill it all the time.:(

Support Pouge present

Disregard.
My apologies.

Jimbo, no full names. Rank first name last initial only please.

I am in SWCS. Tim V is out at Range 37 as a contractor.

Robey is at SOCOM.

Everyone else is out, or in jail, as we discussed recently.

I did see Kuebler from time to time, though I think he is out as well.

Let me know if there is anyone in particular.

ODA 783

"Present!"

B:

Welcome aboard!

Please share the story of your first encounter with the Bn CSM, if you wouldn't mind.

I can see myself getting into a position like that and it was hilarious.

Also, would love to see a post on the SFAS/SFQC Forum with your experiences and after you complete SFAUCC, a down and dirty on that for those who haven't been through it.

You have a differing perspective on it from me, and I would like to know what you honestly think about the training.

Glad to have you here.

Roger that ... and here's the "story"
 

So no shit, there I was ...

It was like 0530 and I was looking for a parking spot. My Team Sergeant had warned me about making sure I looked for the "designated" parking spots before I pissed someone off. So, it's still dark and raining and I'm hopelessly driving around for a spot somewhat closer to the company.

[For those that don't know, 3rd Bn's area has been under construction for some time, so we have a lot less parking spots than anyone else]

So, I see this great parking spot just in front of the BC's spot and I look around for a painted sign but see nothing [unbeknownst to me, the water had pooled on the ground where the CSMs parking spot sign was painted, so all the dirt and mud obscured it]. So, I park there and pat myself on the back for my lucky find ... and soooo close to the company too!

Well, as I get back from a PT run with the team, I see some "knucklehead" walking away from having just parked his vehicle which is now blocking my car. So, I tell the Team Sergeant that I'll see him later and walk over to "confront" this guy. Well, as I walk towards my vehicle, he begins to walk away from it (kind of pissed off, I might add). I see this yellow note on my windshield. I take and read it and it reads the following: "Sir, you may one day park in the Battalion Commander's spot, but you have long ago thrown away the opportunity to park in mine!!! Come see me!!! Signed BN CSM" My brain begins to process the information ... "Who the fuck is BN CS ... Oh My God!!!" Well, by this time, the BN CSM noticed that it was my vehicle and he approached me. Well, long story short, I appologized - a lot - and he told me that it's happened before because many people don't see the sign. He also offered me to come by his office to chat sometime. It turned out OK ... and that was my first day on an ODA. :)

GREAT story:

Could have turned out much worse, much much worse!!

Terry

B:

I'd take him up on the offer.

He may tell you things it would take a long time to figure out on your own, or he may be full of BS, but till you go see him, you will never know.

Nothing like leaving a good first impression!

Show up early for the meeting, and try out his chair, with your feet on his desk for a follow-up.

Definitely go see him and before he forgets.

Hey Jer. Welcome!

b: listen to sfg... he learned the hard way. the team had to beat it into him...... but he loved every minute of it...

good to hear from you bill.... mail me

This, from a man who painted a smiley face on his bare ass and posed bent over behind the CSM's desk with the CSM's very own beret perched on the small of his back and had a photo taken for the CSM's farewell gift.

Where was the "adult leadership"?

The Team Sergeant was bent over beside him with the Battalion Commander's beret on HIS ass for the photo!

Well, the CSM WAS an idiot. Wonder why those guys didn't like us?

I think I have a copy of that pic around here somewhere....

LOL - Top Secret Op that one was. Calling that man an idiot is being kind.

Remember when they tried to hit his rental car with the bundle drop in Arizona?

Same CSM when I reported to Group. So Group sends me to Battalion. The Company areas were in a different AO. I report in to Battalion, meet the BC, then get a briefing from CSM Idiot. When I walk outside, there's an E7 waiting there to take me to the company. Now remember, I came out of the 82nd and was a Buck Sergeant at the time, a 1LT or SSG was next to GOD. I was still nervous from having actually spoken to a LTC and a CSM, and now an E7 is picking me up? So this SFC says
"What's up Doc, welcome to 7th Group, heard some about you."
"Roger that Sergeant!"
"Did you get briefed by the CSM?"
"Roger that Sergeant!"
"Forget everthing that idiot said."
"Roger that Sergeant!"
"Three more things. My name is Jerry. You call me Sergeant again and we're gonna have a problem. #2, stop yelling, I'm not deaf. And #3, grow some hair, you look like a Marine. Let's go."
"Roger that Sergeant!"

LOL

and least we forget the coconuts he tried to smuggle back onto pope afb.... and the time sgm g caught two of our finest pissing in his luggage after breaking the lock off.

and i still tell the story of neanderthal nate crapping under the glass on his desk.... great one but ray took a big hit for that one.
