Yeah, like some dude who looks Arabic with a passport that says David Smith on it isn't going to raise alarms! Ha ha AQ make me laugh.

Thats what the Combat Action Badge is for, everyone other then Infantry.

The British get a rosette on there Iraq and Afghan medals to indicate they were in a fight. The Aussies have one also. Its a bayonet surrounded by a wreath.

OK we are not cutting down people or calling them less soldiers because they don't leave the wire. We had a very good clerk in our BG and yes her job is for her to stay in camp the whole tour. I can accept that, to tell you the truth she was the one fighting for the extra pay for guys outside...

This is a step up thats forsure in the Ad dept. Not at the quality of the Marine ones, but we are getting there.

The Combat Action/Infantry Badge should be given for Combat not just 30 days outside the wire , because there were alot of what BDS just said also but just for say 30 days.

No No Geo. come on now!  rockets hit KAF too, but add more to the pers that leave on a regular basis.

Yeah link please , might be something that will jump start my day!  ;D

And just to note, not alot of CSS trades leave KAF, so it would be way easier to control the pay situation due to the low numbers that leave. Plus they usually belong under the NCE or NSE and the KAFinated ( Chuck  ;) ) troops  are under the BG meaning that there respective  Pay offices can...

Chuck you bald-headed F**K you make me Laff!

And i am one of the instructors on the one here in Edmonton and oh yes i will have fun! >:D

And we don't get any extra for being in combat, everyone gets the same no matter if you left the wire or you were in KAF your whole tour.

Gives the American Flyboys something to shoot down when they go in there to bomb the Nuke plants. ;D

Yeah i see your point, but right now bad timing and those pilots would get flooded with good and nasty questions.

I was the only one in my section, being the Sect Comdr to have an IR strobe ( Phoenix) all the troops had IR glowsticks to use. Trust me there were some nights sleep under the stars in the mountains i would wake up hearing A-10's overhead and flicked on the strobe. They really need one per...

I think it would be a great idea and i would be the first to put my name in! I think " outside the wire" soldiers would feel more at ease if like minded types are debriefing them. I talked to the American MH staff in KAF and they were the greatest due to the fact that most if not all had been to...

My Heart is very heavy today, even with my unit all home i still know someone there that died. Mark and I went to the same HS back in Hamilton, played football and ran track together, I knew he wanted to join because everytime i went home to Hamilton he would ask me about the Army. RIP my Brother!
