Bringing Dawg Fans and Tech Fans Together

Guys, I only have 27 more days left in Afghanistan.  I was tasked by the 48TH Brigade (Georgia National Guard) Public Affairs Office with writing an end of tour retrospective on my infantry company's activities in Ghazni Province Afghanistan.  It's not sports related, so I will simply provide you the link to it.  I will say this:  I served with Dawg fans, Tech fans, Auburn fans (Kyle hates Auburn), and yes, even Florida fans.  Every single one of the men I have served with over here are a credit to their surrogate schools.  My company commander is acutally a double-jacket,  meaning he received both his bachelors and master's degrees from the Technical "Institute", and he is one of the best officer's I've ever served with.  Anyway, here is the story of D Co, Task Force 1-121:

Thank you...

Afghan Dawg,

I’m an active duty Ariman that was deployed just outside Kandahar, Afghanistan last year and getting ready to deploy again in mid April. I want you to know that I appreciate what you all are doing out there. There is not a day that goes by that I dont think about the men and women who are putting it on the line every day for my family. Keep your head down and come home safe! Go Dawgs…

Freedom is not free!

Thank you

To you and to your brothers-in-arms that are in harm’s way everyday. It’s good to be reminded of the thing that binds us all from time-to-time. We all owe you and your mates a huge debt of gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made and that will be made.

I pray your last 27 ‘in-country’ days pass quickly and you return safe and sound.

Thank you for

the excellent fanpost and report. As DavetheDawg said, here’s wishing you a safe return, and thank you for all that you do for those of us back here in the states.

Camp Shelby...

was so much more fun training when the 48th came through. I remember starting out my block of instruction each day with, “All fans of the Georgia Institute of Technology, please raise your hands” (faking enthusiasm to get them to identify themselves), and upon seeing a few hands raise with pride, I would immediately say, “OK, get out of my formation…I’m serious…get out!” It always seemed to relax the mood, especially when I made my allegience to UGA known. I’ve prayed every day since each unit left the C-IED lanes that y’all would stay safe, and I hope those prayers have been answered as much as possible. God-speed on everyone’s safe return!!! SCOUTS OUT!!!
