The caricature is from my memorabilia. It's a limited edition, numbered, and signed (by the artist) lithograph given to me by one of my Det. (ODA) COs upon his reassignment from the team.

I had a PMOS of 18D4H with ASIs F1, W8, FR which, of course, made my SMOS 18F. In between ODA and ODC assignments, I've been a TAC NCO for phase training at SWC and a Sr. Instr. at 300F1 when it was at AHS, FSHTx. Additionally, I've been a SOMED Sgt. Crs. Ph. III (OJT) liaison NCO (CONUS) and NCOIC for SOMED Ph. III Tng. (OCONUS) in CA. I did a brief Training and Doctrine stint where I wrote the first 18D Soldiers Manual and SQT [yes, it was a bona fide 18D TDA position

]. Now, my MSM, ARCOM, AAM x 2 and $5 will get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks!

I trust this background info will keep my posts in perspective for you.

BTW: I named my first goat Gilda, after Gilda Radner of SNL fame. Gilda (the goat) survived the OR and post-op procedures [goats are notorious for lacking the will to live] and went on to a valiant end in the mass cal. exercise.
