Hey guys, I've been out of the loop for a bit. I kinda got busted up this last go round in afghan land. I stepped on some bad stuff on Feb 17th, 2011, and lost both of my feet. However, I was up and walking in 6 weeks, and started running in less than 4 months. I returned to duty as an 18B, Special Forces Weapons Sgt, in less than 5 months. And I am now on leave, heading to Eglin AFB, FL, where I will finish the last 4 years of my career.

yuppers, it was an IED. Little 5 pound deal, from what we found there before i launched... a minefield around a mosque.... but the EOD guy found one, and Ax and I found some more, but I found one, all by myself. Oooops.

Corbin, you have a great attitude and I want to personally say thank you for your service and sacrifice.

And HOO-RAH Ranger for getting back at it, that's how it's fukin done. I hate to see these things happen but I love reading the stories of how our guys don't take any chit and no pity parties and get right back at it.

Rock on Sir,

I sit here in awe over your post. I'm truly amazed at the positive attitude you have maintained thru this ordeal.

You sir are one BAD MOTHER FOCKER!

Thank you for your service, for what you do, and for getting back into it again. Many many guys would never heal from wounds of your nature.

My hat is off to you sir!
