More Episodes

In this episode I bring back 3 of my former squad members that were in my squad in Bravo Company 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division.  We served together in the 2002-2004 time frame and deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq together.  We just talk about some of the good times and challenges as well as discuss what made us a good team.  We've kept in touch and like many prior service relationships know we can always count on each other.  I hope you enjoy our stories.
