9 years ago some very special people saved my life. On 27 June 2010 in Kunar Province, Afghanistan our Battalion was conducting an Air Assault to clear a valley of insurgents that had taken over part of Marawara district, across the river from the Provincial capital of Asadabad.

@F530Josh @DuplessisBrad My 2013 deployment I was with a new unit in Kandahar and it was more restrictive but I don’t remember the actual ROE changing much between 11 and 13.

[Kevin Mott @redadvisor2]

@F530Josh @DuplessisBrad I think a lot of the ROE experience overseas depending on location and leadership. I was in Kunar in 2011 and ROE was not an issue. In fact, after a big mission in the spring of 2011 Petraeus came out and asked why we didn’t use pre-assault fires 🤷🏻‍♂️

@EODHappyCaptain Now we get to watch the painters work in the same wall for over a week again.

@BrentBeshore One of mine is to be fit enough to do a race last minute if I want to or someone asks. I signed up to run a half marathon the next morning while at dinner. Or if a friend asks to do an adventure race I’m ready to go- no train up needed.

@WeGettinItDone @AVSIllini Fair!

[Kevin Mott @redadvisor2]

@WeGettinItDone @AVSIllini Just wake up earlier! That’s what I’m doing

[Kevin Mott @redadvisor2]

@Ashmolekb I could do shorter runs in the afternoon probably.

[Kevin Mott @redadvisor2]

@Ashmolekb I can do daytime/afternoon in the winter but not the summer like this. I have 15 miles on the schedule for tomorrow and I’m waking up at 4 with a goal to be on the road by 445. Too hot for that distance this time of year.

@PZanoff @82ndABNDiv He is also the reason our cooks cooked in the field during PLT LFX. Talked a lot about training everyone, not just infantry.

[Kevin Mott @redadvisor2]

@PZanoff @82ndABNDiv He is a great guy. Loved when he would swing by the HQ to visit.

The elusive 1000mph tape @Asst_to_the_RM @WeGettinItDone @DustyStetson95

[Barrett Linburg @DallasAptGP]

What would you do if you boarded an airplane and saw this outside your window?

It's called "speed tape"

It costs ~$1k/roll and it's FAA approved to make fixes on the outside of airplanes until they can get back to a larger maintenance facility
