  • When we were getting ready to deploy there was a guy whose name got called at every stop- every range and every class. He got stuck on our battle roster and nobody could get him off it. They even called his name for transports and briefings when we were actually downrange.
  • There was even a legend that every time that happened- an officer had to verify the guys whereabouts. Dunno if any part of that idea is true but yeah- we were still joking about calling out Here! surreptitiously when his name was called for roll well into our first briefings and convoys in Iraq.
  • They called his name for both the survival class at Camp Cedar 2 and the convoy out of there. 
  • Although I don't know where it was at some time his name was called from a flight manifest.
  • Weird- I think of him often and wonder what happened to him.
