So yesterday I had the opportunity to go to a ceremony for the proper way to dispose of the American Flag. As I'm standing there with a hand full of Korean and Vietnam vets this younger guy walks up in civilian clothes wearing his Acu head gear with Cpl stripes. You would think he would walk up and introduce himself, but no. First thing out of his mouth to our group is, im 11B, What's yalls MOS? Not exactly the proper thing to ask a hand full of old Vets you dont know, but ok i will indulge him. I tell him I'm 11Z60. He looks at me and says Whats That? The only thing that kept me from loosing my shit on this guy is one of the Korean vets looks at this Cpl and says " boy, thats a Command Sergeant Major. You might know him as the great white shark that swims around the pond looking for kids like you to eat up". Needless to say he ducked his head and went and found a new group to talk to. Gotta love old school vets. To all my CAG veteran brothers, on this weekend i salute you, take a moment and remember those who payed the ultimate price.
