Yes. He had 6 to 9 month deployments from 2001 until about 2007. The most I got to talk to him was about once a month in a phone call. When he was home it was for about 2-3 months at a time. It was really hard on our family but we had a great support group.

What unit? I was with 3/1 at the time.

Glad you made it back

[u/PalladiuM7 → u/[deleted]]

At least you got it the second go around

[u/PalladiuM7 → u/[deleted]]

I meant you quoted a song in your second comment, the one I replied to

[u/PalladiuM7 → u/[deleted]]

You quoted Linkin Park, I'm guessing unintentionally at this point

[u/PalladiuM7 → u/[deleted]]

No, I mentioned the second go around in reference to your comment itself, not the song.

And it was Drowning Pool who sang "Bodies"

Answer or ignore, when/if you saw or played MW2 were you able to get all the way through or too real?

Thank you in advance if you do respond.

It's the one with the false flag attack in a Russian airport which leads to an invasion on US soil.

The genesis of the "Ramirez, do everything" meme

As someone that was 19 when 9/11 happened, and the only reason I didn’t join the military is because I’m stubborn and know I don’t follow orders well, thank you for your service.

I’m happy you made it back, and I’m sorry for any friends you may have lost along the way.
