Careful now - those tabs are scary looking. And he's a SGM or something. Pretty sure he has the ear of the Old Man...

Marksmanship ends lives better though.

The WMC was much better phrased than what we had. I just know we had a hell of a time finding a black rose in 2004. The DOW (I love that change) website shows the white and red. But, have a hard time believing you would use wiki as a source... you're a better man than that. EDIT: Leave it to...

We may have done it wrong. I had to go look up our program from our dining-ins. This is what we had, not sure if it's correct or not. I may have just led a bunch of NCO's down the wrong path... MESS PRESIDENT: Fellow soldiers, I direct your attention to the small table in a place of honor...

Got one just like it, stays attached to molle webbing on the passenger seat back.

I'm an old goat that loved that old goat

Damn! Took a couple days off from checking on this thread and it went 40 freaking pages! Nobody get mad if I repost something, ain't got time to read all that shit. Anyway...
