Off one night and of course the C.O wants a patrol. And the LT we had at the time was cool as hell and our platoon caught it. And really instead of sending out a squad LT ask for volunteers. So I had to go because I was playing RTO. WELL we’re walking past this farm. And we start talking to this farmer who was telling us he served in Russia now it is me the LT AND E5 and two dudes humping a m60. Well the farmer offered us to warm up LT said to the E5 and the 60 crew go ahead and him and I went to observe the valley. He was one cool officer.
