Hey, did you know Yoell? I think he was Weapons Co. 1/4 but I'm not real sure.

This is going to take forever Pete! lol!

Text book like "college text book"... no.

It's a similar format to "On War" or "On Killing". Regular non-fic book I guess.

Dude, you should check out "On Infantry" by John English. Good read.

Under the operations paragraph:

"The listing is not all inclusive as the CAR has been awarded in minor operations and for specific actions."

This hasn't changed since I got both of them in 04-05. I'm guessing it depends how you write them up. Possibly my CWO wrote one up for Operation Iraqi Freedom (the entire deployment) and then another one specifically for Operation Phantom Fury (invasion of fallujah), so it may have counted as two operations in one deployment, I don't know. Everyone on my team (9 guys) was approved for two so mine wasn't just a mistake. I've also worn my ribbons just like that to quite a few inspections and Marine Corps balls and never been questioned about them.

I honestly don't know what to tell you, maybe your just misinterpreting what they mean by "operation".

You have stars on your ribbon display so I'm guessing you are well aware that a star indicates a second award of that ribbon. I don't think I'm understanding what exactly your asking me.

ok grunts set a pace i know that i i can't say it's a big deal being one because i'm not a grunt. But with out us supporting you guys it would be pretty hard for you guys to do your job. but probs for doing your job for four years and 2 deployments. i go on my first combat in a few months to afghanistan see how that works out

Yeah I knew most of the guys that came in around my time. Didn't know their boots.
