Welcome to the forum, CSM Abell.

Thank you for your service.

Welcome to the forum, Abell

So the "forum ranks" mean what? I didnt read all the rules....just happened to notice.
Thanks for the welcome.

Aside from Admin and Moderator (which are ranks only available to those judged to be the best smelling members), the "ranks" are just a sign of how many posts a member has made.

Welcome to the forum. When were you with 1st bn/75th INF? Before '84, I'm guessing (?)

Careful now, you're not too far ahead of me, I'm not ready for FOG status.

Did you know a G.L.? Was 1SGT with 1st back around your time frame, I believe.

OK, count them years. I can recall MANY names, 1SG's and I were not on a first name basis. I can tell you BC's, CSM's, Co's, XO's, even a future 3 star.....Im not real good on initials. Since you are a BTDT, Ill PM you and spell out the details.

Old,i m 14 nad these guys are fine with that!!
