yes but i have also been in the mounted world, i was in a mechanized unit.

Scouts out? thats what i say when i well ya know, drop the scouts at the pool as it were. ;) lol

my unit was actually reflagged to a scout unit so we got a lot of scouts incorperated in to us after we get back from Iraq, then all of us real soldiers got moved to other bats. i got moved to the 1/15INF Audi Murphys old unit.

How i miss the fun jabs we used to take at each other...

Yea tho I fly over the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
For mine helicopter rules the skies and the valleys below.
For I reach out and touch mine enemies from afar and in in the heart of the darkness.
For I shun the filth and toil of the earth below.
For I alone on the field of battle am secure in the knowledge that hot chow and clean sheets await my weary soul back at the FAARP.
Mine enemies fear the righteous sound of the halo of rotor blades above mine head and mine mustachioed raiment gleams down upon those friendlies below.
For I alone am secure in the knowledge that all others must look skyward to gaze upon my countenance.

"Why yes, I fly!"




Guys, please take this in the vein of humor it was intended. I make no attacks on anyone. I am not belittling anyones beliefs. honestly, it is not religious, it's just the way soldiers use among themselves to relieve the pain.

Are you referring to the old army song Fiddler's Green?

Halfway down the trail to hell
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.

Marching past, straight through to hell,
The infantry are seen,
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marine,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his canteen,
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers' Green.

And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge or fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers' Green.

Cheers,

Todd

Wow, it's odd that crest is so difficult to find, as there's a Battalion of them here on Fort Carson, if you need anymore crests, let me know.
