As an Ex-Sgt in the Regulars (5th, 8th and 2nd Combat Engineers) all I can say is thanks for your service and good luck. Also keep your head AND your ass down.

It's an honor to know that you are serving, Justin. I can remember when you first got your Stetson Special. You were incredibly proud to be wearing it.

I especially liked your affinity for specific period and rare hats. Your medal hats were sublime. Thank you for contributing your time to these threads. I wish you a safe journey and blessings.

Cheers. :yo:

As an acquaintance of mine was told by his father just before he headed overseas during WW2:

"Keep you head down and your trousers up."

Well, I graduated from Basic Training. They gave us a 36 hour pass, then onto the Infantry school portion (roughly 5 more weeks). I did receive my orders, and it looks like I will be going to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky for the 101st.

Many thanks for the kind words, fellas!
