In honor of Veterans Day thank you all NCO's [View all]

To All NCO’s and first sergeants the glue that keeps it together, one of my most fondest memory of my first top. Was at BRAGG he was Vietnam vet fine infantry NCO, and he cared for all of his Airborne infantry warriors.

One night practicing hunter killer ops I heard a growling whisper addressing me. PFC give me that fucking yo yo there will be no yo yo in my Airborne infantry soldier.

And walking back to the company with platoon my plt sgt maybe 0200 in morning he just turned and looked at me after I surrendered my yo yo to our first shirt and we both busted up laughing.
