TEAM ROCK

THIS WAS TEAM ROCK..... WE WORKED WITH SOME OF THE BEST SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD..... THE IMPACT OUR MISSION HAD, WAS FELT IN LIVES SAVED..... IVE NEVER BEEN A PART OF A GROUP THAT WAS THIS PROFICIENT.... IT WAS CHALLENGING AND REWARDING.... I LEARNED, TAUGHT, FOUGHT, AND BONDED WITH THESE MEN AND THE TIME SPENT TOGETHER WILL BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE..... ITS RARE TO BE APART OF A GROUP WITHOUT WEAK LINKS.... WE HAD THAT HERE..... EVERYONE OF THESE GUYS HAD SOMETHING UNIQUE TO OFFER.... WE FORGED A BOND THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER.....

ME AFTER A LITTLE SCUFFLE.... I WON THE BATTLE, BUT LOOKED THE WORST IN THE END.... FACE AND CONCRETE DON'T MESH WELL....

EVERY SOLDIER DOES A RAMBO PIC..... DON'T THEY?

THIS IS SSG BERRY... HE JUST GOT OFF THE TRAIL (BACK FROM BEING A DRILL SGT.) BEFORE COMING TO US AS OUR NEW SQUAD LEADER.... HE IS A BIG ASSHOLE AND CAN BE A SON OF A BITCH SOMETIMES BUT HE IS AND WAS THE BEST LEADER I HAVE EVER HAD IN THE ARMY AND IVE LEARNED MORE FROM HIM THEN ANY OTHER ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A LEADER....GREAT GUY AND GREAT LEADER...

SPC MURRAY.... HE WAS THE ONE OF OUR DRIVERS.... A GREAT SOLDIER WHO TOOK EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THAT WAS AFFORDED TO HIM.... HE IS A HARD WORKER AND A DEPENDABLE SOLDIER....

PV2 CLYMER... HE WAS A GUNNER AT FIRST.... THEN I SAW HIM DRIVE..... HE HAD THE INSTINCTS AND CONFIDENCE NEEDED TO MANEUVER A 75,500 POUND TRUCK AT HIGH SPEEDS, ON TIGHT ROADS, WITH NO LIGHTS ON WHEN IT WAS PITCH BLACK OUT, WHILE WEARING HIS NIGHT VISION GOGGLES.... THESE DRIVERS COULD BE TRAINED TO AN EXTENT, BUT THE NATURAL ABILITY OF SOME WENT A LONG LONG WAY....

SPC GALLAGHER..... HE WAS MY DRIVER..... WE MANED THE LEAD TRUCK.... OUR RESPONSIBILITIES WERE DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE.... AS LEAD TRUCK, YOUR TASKED WITH DICTATING SPEED, ADJUSTING THE ROUTE, IDENTIFYING THE TURNS, FINDING THE DESTINATION, AND SPOTTING POTENTIAL THREATS UP AHEAD.... THE OTHER TRUCKS FOLLOW US.... HE WAS THE BEST DRIVER AND A HUGH ASSET TO THE TEAM....

SPC INSKEEP..... HE WAS ONE OF OUR GUNNERS.... HE HAS BEEN ONE OF MY SOLDIERS DATING BACK ALMOST 2 YEARS.... IVE SEEN HIM GROW INTO A YOUNG LEADER IN THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER.... HE WILL MAKE A GREAT NCO ONE DAY AND IS CURRENTLY A GREAT SOLDIER THAT THE OTHERS LOOK UP TO...

I HAVE MANY MORE PICTURES BUT IT IS SO HARD TO UPLOAD THEM WITH THE INTERNET WE HAVE HERE..... ILL KEEP TRYING BUT FOR NOW THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MEN WHO MADE UP TEAM ROCK.... THEIR ACTIONS AND SERVICE HAVE IMPACTED THIS WAR IN A WAY UNMEASURABLE.... IF NOT FOR THE MISSIONS WE DID, MANY TERRORIST NOW CONFINED, WOULD STILL BE OUT ON THE STREETS KILLING SOLDIERS....
