Combat Jack
This guy is one cool Soldier:

‘COMBAT JACK’
CBFTW enlisted in the Army because, as he says,“I needed a fucking job, and at the time nobody would hire me, so I said fuck it, I’m going Infantry.” Upon graduating Basic Training from Fort Benning, Georgia, his orders sent him to Fort Lewis Washington, where he was then a part of the Army’s first Mobile Elite Stryker Brigade. After a couple months of showing up to 06:00 PT formations completely hung over and sometimes still drunk from the night before, his ass was sent to Iraq in 2003 where he has been conducting combat operations and has been placed on countless demoralizing details ever since. So far he’s been Stop Lossed and had both his R&R to Qatar and his mid tour leave cancelled. The following post is from CBFTW’s Field Journal when he was in Kuwait. His blog, “MY WAR” is at http://cbftw.blogspot.com

1. The letter from his battalion commander was unbelieveable.

The BN CDR is a total whack job.

"my days in the service of the Queen..." :wtf:

That's why I got out of the Army. The few real jerks like that BN CDR can make your life truly miserable. Most of the commanders I had in the infantry were OK, but the few nutjobs made it all not worthwhile.

Thanks for the link.
