Good day to all.

[SSG (Ret) Beard]

Managed to cobble together a few minutes to say hi to whomever knows who the hell I am. If you do, I sincerely pity your misfortune.

I have been wanting to come back to the 506th for years now but I just can't get work to gel with the requirements of the unit. One day...

To Capt. Drumheller and all those who invest so much time, effort and devotion to this incredible community I give my eternal gratitude. Being part of this connected me to people who changed the direction of my life. There are many who I will consider to be my friends for the rest of my days.

Edit: The work of the S2 guys is absolutely awesome. Seriously impressed.

Well well well look who it is! 

Hope you're doing well bud! 

For those that don't know, this man was a huge asset in making the unit what it is today.  A good man, and great friend. 

Hope to catch you around soon, Beard - take care of yourself!

Hey SSG Bread. come back soon.

"Managed to cobble together a few minutes"... pfftt. More like finally figured out how to turn on your damn PC. Must be hard to find the button when you're upside down.

Love you long time, cunt.

[SSG (Ret) Beard]

Meh

Un fucking believable. Laughed my ass off. Miss you too, Top.

Miss filling in on your OSUT classes!

Very high praise. Damn near bought a tear to my eye. Thank you.

The split was a very interesting time. S2 got kinda real. And I wasn't the only asset. You and many others played a bigger part than I did!

Strange seeing you as a Sergeant. You were always a Sir.

Thank you, Sir.

Good to see you still remember the lessons in Direct vs Indirect fire with the M320. Really miss teaching that stuff.

Can't believe you are a First Sargent. Lots has changed.

[SSG (Ret) Beard]

Hey SSG Bread. come back soon.

Smartass. Some will remember when I posted the Urban Dictionary definition of "Bread box" in global not long after an op. Funny as fuck.

I'll eventually make a comeback. Just have to align a few more stars.

I remember when I outranked you and I could tear your face off for calling me a cunt. Now I suppose I have to just say 'Yes sir' before descending to my knees... 

Really miss the squad we had. Proud that my little Eluri made it all the way to Platoon lead. Have to get back on TS and catch up with a heap of you.

Hope everything in your part of the world goes ok too. Every time there is a new escalation I wonder how you are doing.
