Gentlemen, On behalf of 1st Platoon Ranger TF Bravo, I want to say “Thank Youâ€￾ for your dedication and inspiration. Every single person in 2nd Platoon moved with a purpose and never gave up. Lt and Platoon Sgt did an excellent job placing you guys into the positions you guys need to be in, and attacked and defended with a purpose. Great Job!

The BEST part of working with you guys is there were no ego’s, you guys listened to me when I wasn’t part of your chain of command, and never did you complain nor had any hesitation, you guys just nodded your head and said Roger that and move out. OUTFUCKINSTANDING! I am looking forward to Irene, so once again we can fight side by side.

That 400meter push on saturday never would have happened either if we wouldn't have gotten reinforced at the very last possible moment either. The left flank was just about to give in, but we were reinforced by a whole new platoon and just swept over the attackers. I was getting a little worried about those alpha guys...but it didn't help that they were camped across the road from our FOB right when we left for the LZ.


Sorry about making you worry, when We hit ground, we just started sweeping your left flank and it was such a great sight to see you guys in the middle just look at us, and just startied driving forward, and pushing Aco all the way back to their FOB, I know you guys were tired, but never showed it, you kept on with the mission without skipping a beat. GREAT JOB!

 Bco Rangers Lead The Way!

And to my fellow squad mates, I hope I did a half decent job at my position.


Ryan,
Like I was telling Skylar and Mikey on the way home, you get my award for "Most Hustle".  You were like a frickin rabbit hopping around.  Not once did I see you seemed tired or exchausted and you were always willing and ready to run up the next hill.  Great job this weekend man!

Thanks to Mikey and Skylar for doing a great job leading us.

Thanks to Matt for the great killing we got to do behind Alpha's line Sunday.

And lastly, thanks to my battle buddy John "My mind is telling me nooooo, but my body is telling me yes"  Figueroa for the awesome accomodations.

Time to start planning for Irene!

I realized that the Maps were formatted by D,M,S but the values were D, M.mm on Thursday and Woo noticed that the coordinates were 10sec off so we made adjustments and it seemed to work for us although not having a marker for the mine field and moving the communication tower really tested our confidence in our GPS's but dead reckoning allowed us to confirm many of our locations.

What totally amazed me was even in the face of all the bad intel we received, we were still able to take the initiative, complete missions, stay motivated, and win. I would rather see a group of men prevail in the worst of scenarios and win by the grit of your teeth and you guys did exactly that.

I had a feeling during the first mission that if our intel was bad then Alpha's wasn't any better. Alpha did the best they could given the circumstances and gave a hell of a fight on Sunday.

Mikey, it was an honor to salute you. You have that rare born leadership quality that makes you an easy person to follow (Mikey paid me to say that)

Ed, you guys were abused so much as the point squad and yet you guys never complained. You went to ground and never looked back. (Until you hit the Alpha FOB and said “Hey where’d everybody go?â€￾) lol

Eric, You and your guys were the foundation without which we could not have survived, Wherever a gap started to form your team was there to stop it. (I think you read some of the Alpha guys their rights)

Skylar, your team saved the day more than once. Watching your guys sweeping in from the flanks was just an amazing sight to behold. (Anybody tells me a Hawaiian is lazy… I’ll bitch slap them and Vince, I caught you being a damn fine leader when Sky got hit, you sneaky bastard)

To all the men of 2nd Platoon Bravo… Thanks for being our weapon, thanks for being motivated, and thanks for letting me serve you.


Kilo 42, YOU ARE CRAZY!!! And I would follow you anywhere!

GREEN 5 OUT!

First of all great job to ALL of B co, It was an awsome and inspiring experience seeing 2 to 3 platoons side by side pushing forward, taking out the enemy and following command without hesitation giving 100% not once but over and over though out the entire weekend.

Kilo 42 we will fight with you and your rangers any time. Great Job
My hats off to all of the Leaders above AND Below my position, It wasn't fight made easy because of the fight in Alpha they did an outstanding job too, it was definetly because of the fight in the B co Rangers next to you. Great job All of you.

A special hats off to my guys in 0302, You guys did everything that was asked of you and then some. you guys were squared away from the start and I knew getting into this event that there no doubt we would dominate the field. You stuck together as buddies and we fought as one.
Matt, Rod, Vince - You guys really stepped up leading 03 squad
Ryan, Ben - Two of the best point runners I've played with in a long time.
David - It was a pleasure lining up the targets for your skill and that gun "Bonesaw was READY!!"
John, Rod, Jamie - My 3 other corners, you guys are just awsome riflemen 100% protection from all sides.

Mikey, Mark, Castro, Mercy and Mullen - Pleasure serving under you

B CO LEADS THE WAY!

Thanks for covering my 6 and putting up with my snoring guys :) I need to practice harder for next year.. this proves that I definitely do need to quit smokin' too lol. sorry for being low speed if it affected anyone. It was great to have so many AZ guys all in the same spot at the same time not to mention for getting the SH** end of the stick job in this Op, I think we mowed the competition down when it came time to fight.

I also just wanted to say that I think Woody deserves the SUPERBADASS MOTHERF**KER award. Every time I see that man, he's scary fast and deadly.

I kinda forgot to mention my props to all of y'all.  You definately fought hard and solid.  I know some BS started about hit calling in the Alpha Cav ranks but I shut that down as soon as it started and I don't believe any of it anyway.  I know none of Alex's guys or the AA guys were anything less than honorable - which makes it so great to fight you guys!

Everyone in Alpha Cav respects the way you conducted yourselves out there and we all salute you...  we actually were singing some cadence to congrat you guys marching out of the AO at the end but I guess you guys were on the truck riding back....

Anyway, Can't wait to do it again and again and again....

You guys are goddamn sadists -- paying me the only compliments I'm due this calendar year when my lips are so chapped and cracked that it hurts to even breathe over them!

I really don't deserve any of these accolades; Mark, Skylar, you guys are the ones who could should be congratulating yourselves. Think back to Irene practice -- that stuff you guys taught me was the beginning of my training, the dividends of which I believe are self evident.

Thank you.

Just wanted to say congratulations boys!

I have to admit after hanging out with several of you a few times (and listening to Rod talk about you ALL the time), I felt rather proud as I was scrolling through pictures. I had no doubt yall would come home victorious!

I would volunteer to cook a celebratory dinner, but I don't want to stomp on Woody's territory.  [smilie=armata_pdt_28.gif]

Congrats again!

Thanks again Mad Sarge for that sun burn gel.  If you hadn't had that, I probably wouldn't have gotten any sleep Saturday night.

I'm tempted...Hunter, Woody, and others have been trying to talk me into playing; but does David make the sidewinder in a girls version????

David can do anything if he puts his mind to it!

No problem Jamie, others helped me out with things and so I try to help out those that I can. I was just glad I could help.  Always anyone should feel free to ask and I will see what I can do, though you may have to remind me again at times  ;)
