They should give him some time on the M2 or a MK19.
One time we did a demo for Bush 1. It was a live fire and me and another guy were snipers shooing 2 sentry's with suppressed M21's. We were all cammoed up and in Gilli Suites. We had to low crawl about 10m to out firing position. I looked up and there was a SS agent next to us with an UZI
John O Marsh was a great guy, he was Reagans Sec of the Army. He pinned my CIB on after Grenada.
It looks like they have some nice chow halls now. When I was there in 2001 and 2002 there wasn't much of anything except where the big shots stayed.
I am glad Trump went there. Its where he should be especially when he has guys deployed and fighting.
Kimi your welcome. After 25 years I could tell a million story's.
I heard Reagan's speech at Point Du Hoc on the 40th anniversary of D-Day. It was the best speech I have ever heard and it made me so proud to be in the Military. I was on my last 6 months of my enlistment and I think it was his speech that decided me to re-up and stay in.
Reagan really supported the Military too bad he was not a friend of Gun Owners.
When the Prez came to the war zones they always come to the big bases for security, my unit was always based kind of in the sticks. Now our O's would go to see the man but we were doing other stuff.
One thing I remember Orders came down to cease operations cause they didn't want anyone killed while he was there
He flew in some other aircraft and if I was betting it would have been a C-17 that was outfitted for him but it could have been something else.
Update
He flew in the second AF1. He left the other plane in FL. So he flew from FL to DC is some other Aircraft then go into the other 747 AF1 type plane and flew to AFG.
